Infusing Advanced Manufacturing in Engineering Education: Virtual Workshop

Innovations in advanced manufacturing play a critical role in supporting the U.S. economy and national security, and it is important to prepare future engineers to exploit advanced manufacturing technologies. Please join the National Academies for a virtual workshop on February 24-25, 2022 from 11am-4pm ET to discuss advanced manufacturing techniques for the defense industry and to explore how undergraduate engineering curricula can better develop advanced manufacturing capabilities in the workforce.

During the workshop, invited speakers from academia, industry, and federal agencies will discuss the treatment of advanced manufacturing technologies in undergraduate engineering education, educational innovations, and new ideas to prepare students to enter the workforce with knowledge and skills ready to apply in the field.
