Lab Implementation (Work in Progress)IntroductionManufacturing is one of the largest economic drivers in the United States, but withoutintervention, its successes might be short-lived. This warning is not original, nor is it new.Organizations like Deloitte [1] have been keeping a close eye on the state of themanufacturing industry in the United States for years and have predicted that the country maybe in trouble. As increasing retirement numbers from the baby-boomer generation looms overthe horizon, a lack of interest and awareness for manufacturing careers from the nextgeneration is creating a vacuum of talent for tomorrow’s jobs [2]. Even if the trend ofpushing back the retirement age continues, there may still not be enough new employees

Practicing engineers constantly navigatecomplex and ill-defined design spaces and must balance opposing tensions. A primarydifficulty for novice designers is developing the experience to avoid driving toward afinal deliverable at the expense of definition, ideation, fabrication, evaluation, anditeration [3]. Hence, circumventing these activities can be detrimental, if not fatal, todesign work, resulting in
