However, it is not a crisis of just technicalissues. What is needed with respect to global learning and experience is more than just technicalcompetence and expertise.

In thefuture, understanding other cultures, speaking other languages, and communicating with peoplefrom marketing and finance will be just as fundamental to the practice of

withmanufacturing practices, it is important to utilize a variety of specialized tools to implementproduct designs. However, the ability of institutions to meet these goals in fiscally austere timesis proving to be difficult for all but those with the financial resources to acquire costly industrialgrade equipment.In order for manufacturing and vocational programs to survive, they must adapt and becomecost conscious. And, when cost-saving measures are necessary, it is important to ensure that theprogram will still satisfactorily prepare students to enter the job-market as qualified workers.While it may not be necessary for graduates in some program areas like engineering todemonstrate proficiency in the use of specialized manufacturing equipment, it is

Studentacademic engagement, peer engagement, and faculty engagement have been identified as threekey components that positively impact student learning, academic performance, and retention.The flipped classroom focuses on these same engagement practices, and research findingssuggest there is “improved student learning and positive perceptions within the flipped classroom[3].”A well-structured flipped classroom
