His work focused on developing software applications to assist manufacturers design and plan operations on advanced machining lines that could be rapidly reconfigured to meet changes to a product’s design or production volume. In 2003 he joined the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of British Columbia as junior chair of the NSERC sponsored research program in Virtual Machining. His work at this time focused on the mod- eling of cutter/workpiece engagement geometry to support process modeling for aerospace machining applications.

supported by the National ScienceFoundation under Grant No. (NSF 1700581).1.0. IntroductionAdvanced manufacturing (AM) employers are challenged to find enough adequately trainedworkers. One reason may be that the K-12 educational system has failed to engage or exposestudents to technical application or workplace skills either early or extensively enough, orarticulate high school students to 2- or 4-year manufacturing programs [1, 2]. Another reason isthat institutions of higher education (IHEs) often produce too few graduates to fulfill AMindustry demands, and many engineering technology graduates are not gaining the right skill setsfor available positions [3]. Quite possibly, this misalignment may include skills that can be hardto manage and

A noticeabledecline in the number of domestic graduate students pursuing engineering has occurred and just underhalf of those who are pursuing the doctorate are foreign nationals. But the drop in Americans engaging ingraduate studies in engineering is also being perceived by industry and by a growing proportion ofgraduate schools as a reflection of a lack of opportunity for lifelong learning and of an insufficiency ofU.S. graduate education to serve the full professional spectrum of engineering. This deficiency isaffecting U.S. competitiveness and the nation’s long-term capacity for innovation.

They report by use of modelingthat students learn to enhance their individual problem solving and increase their individualcompetence. In addition, even one year after engaging in activities, the students rememberedthem explicitly and discussed them eagerly with pride.

The engineering design curriculum would alsonaturally provide the students with more opportunities for hands-on, interactive, and fun courseexercises beyond what the heritage course offered. Some of these engaging course exerciseswould allow students to test their newly acquired innovation knowledge and skills by designing,building, and testing physical prototypes, which was not part of the heritage course.
