  1. Manufacturing Education Leadership Forum: Vision for Progress

  2. My Questions What should I do next ? Preparing the manufacturing engineers of 2018 ? More manufacturing engineering students ? What will I be able to do when I leave here ?

  3. The Pipeline

  4. What the Pipeline Provides

  5. Pipeline

  6. The Curriculum Wired or Tired? Replace 'What' with 'What'?

  7. Curriculum Revision

  8. Manufacturing for Everybody Reaching other technical disciplines Reaching beyond

  9. Our Problem.... When asked to describe the images that they associate with a career in manufacturing, student respondents quickly and consistently offered phrases such as "production or assembly line work" work in a "factory" or "plant" that is "repetitious," "boring," "tedious," "dangerous," "dark" and "dirty." They felt that manufacturing required "hard work" and "long hours" but provided only "low pay," with "no chance for promotion" or "benefits." Others equated a career in manufacturing to "serving a life sentence" and being "on a chain gang," "slave to the line" or even a "robot." [National Association of Manufacturers]

  10. Appealing to Students empowered, free individuals - flexible time, not punching clocks - not tied to a desk or a production line - managing large budgets and many people - more dynamic career choices - important roles in companies including management active - designing and building - using new high-technologies, computers and methods

  11. more.... people oriented - work with a diverse group of people in multiple disciplines - travel to many interesting places and cultures rewarding - helping society and making a difference - good salaries, benefits and bonuses - determining the best ways to satisfy customers

  12. Defining The Discipline Many other disciplines claim manufacturing topics as their own. e.g. Mechanical and Manufacturing Stress analysis - mechanical Fluid/thermal sciences - mechanical Drafting - mechanical / manufacturing? GD&T - manufacturing Processes - manufacturing

  13. Recognition Most disciplines are identified with products Consider an automobile Manufacturing describes a process What we really engineer is products Other engineers often stumble into product design Product engineers require high skill levels

  14. Product Design Not to be confused with other types of design -- Mechanical Design, Electrical Design, etc. Design is a recognized strength of US industry. Product design has a high level of appeal. We are the discipline of Products. We have expanded our product design content.

  15. Our Plan 1. Recognize Products as the driving force behind our discipline, and change the program name. 2. Promote the positive image of the discipline to the general public (industry, students, parents). 3. Attract academically strong, high achieving students. 4. Revise the curriculum to address the new needs of globalization. 5. Clarify the definition of Manufacturing Engineering. 6. Encourage a recognition of the differences between Manufacturing and other disciplines. 7. Differentiate between 'Product Design' and others such as 'Mechanical Design".

  16. ABET for PDM The program must demonstrate that graduates have proficiency in materials and manufacturing processes: understanding the behavior and properties of materials as they are altered and influenced by processing in manufacturing; process, assembly and product engineering: understanding the design of products and the equipment, tooling, and environment necessary for their manufacture; manufacturing competitiveness: understanding the creation of competitive advantage through manufacturing planning, strategy, and control; manufacturing systems design: understanding the analysis, synthesis, and control of manufacturing operations using statistical and calculus based methods, simulation and information technology; laboratory experience: graduates must be able to measure manufacturing process variables in a manufacturing laboratory and make technical inferences about the process.

  17. Who Are We? ME / MFE / MFGE–Manufacturing Engineers PE-Product/Production Engineers

  18. Moving Forward – What Next Conference CIMEC Government Report ASEE MFG Div. NSF Committees Web Site/Wiki/NCME Certification Meetings Education Foundation Credentials Groups SME Societies Outreach Corporate Outreach Others ????
