critical technology thatcombines the above-mentioned recent advances in technologies to transform manufacturing intoessentially a commoditized "cloud-based service". Likewise, it has the potential to evokecreativity of the general population to design and create personalized products. To that end, oneof the key enablers of this paradigm is the recruitment and training of a new class ofmanufacturing workforce that can (1) combine engineering product design capabilities withinformation technology tools to convert ideas into components and (2) transform a wide range ofprecursor materials into products to meet advanced functional requirements by using cyber-enabled machine tools. However, many students, particularly those at predominantlyundergraduate

EPICS is a design course with the express goal of connecting engineering students, whoneeded opportunities to gain real-world experience, with community organizations, who neededassistance keeping pace with the rapidly changing landscape of technology [19]. This symbioticrelationship quickly flourished, resulting in major impacts to all parties involved. Students whoparticipated in the EPICS design courses were

Learning and instructional theories explainthat providing real-life contexts increases students’ interest, provides opportunities for studentsto apply their knowledge, and prepares students for situations they will encounter aftergraduation2, 3. In addition, the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) hascompelled engineering schools to re-examine their curricula and to make appropriate changes toalign learning outcomes with the new criteria 4.

bothConstruction Engineering and Management Technology and Organizational Leadership andSupervision programs are housed in the same department. Therefore, it was easy for faculty towork closely to make sure that this OLS degree accommodates the needs of construction industryas few electives in this program were substituted by construction management courses,addressing the need for construction superintendents. Following are certain unique features ofthis program: • In total, 48 credit hours of courses from the ITCC AS degree were transferred to the OLS pathway program for construction professionals. Students take 72 credit hours from PNW. Proceedings of the 2022 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration

These were the characteristics of a liberally educated person in ancient civilizations.Modern liberal arts embrace many soft subjects, the choice depends on the politics of one’sinstitution. Due to recent technological advances and global competitiveness, the nature ofliberal arts to embrace humans and machines all across the globe is broadening. This is turningengineering into a new liberal art by integrating behavioral factors in the technical curriculum, intrue synthesis character of engineering.
