The dataassumes a 3% annual raise, with a periodic 10% increase in salary. While M.S. students may notacquire any additional debt to complete their degree, our analysis suggests that their earningpotential remains just below that of the M.Eng. graduates.

40% of undergraduateswho enter college intending to receive a STEM degree graduate in a STEM field1. This issue willbe exacerbated as women, underrepresented minorities (URM), and first-generation collegestudents, who traditionally earn fewer STEM degrees than white men, continue to grow as themajority of collegians. A recent report by the President’s Council on Science and Technologyprojects the United States will need one million more engineers in the next decade than we areon track to produce. Increasing STEM graduation rates from 40% to 50% of interested studentswould create roughly 750,000 of the million-needed engineers.1The percent of underrepresented minorities in engineering and science has historically beendismally low.

The consequences from the survey present that there is an increase in the ease oflearning, perceived interest and motivation amongst mechanical engineering graduate studentsafter being able to get hands-on access to AM technologies. Such findings could provide a basisfor engineering professoriate to build a case for Additive Manufacturing education. The paper alsosuggests that an early exposure of future generation designers to AM techniques can aid in thedevelopment of a “think-additive” style to product design. Inferences from this paper could beused as cases for universities to explore the option of including AM education in freshman andsophomore curriculum.Concepts like

The need to raise awareness about theenvironmental impact of decisions in manufacturing and product design should be at theforefront of curriculum enhancement efforts. Industrial Engineers are typically viewed as“systems thinkers” and need to analyze the larger eco-system when new designs are putin place. Thus, the systems-approach to environmentally responsible design andmanufacturing has a natural place in the Industrial Engineering curriculum.The challenge to engineering faculty may
