Items:
Review of the meeting at RMU
Participant comments;
generally the comments seemed to be on track, there were some rough spots
it would be worth recirculating the survey and also reflecting on previous comments
attention to audio visuals would be good such as better projector lighting
some of the sessions varied
we can use the comments to adjust the planning for the following event
The groups from connecticut and farmingdale have offer to hold following events
Costs are still being determined but it looks close.
Suggestions for the "next step" (with votes, loosely sorted)
**(6) conference/workshop (industry and education)
(3) Develop a group of Manufacturing program leaders
(3) Form customer focus groups to obtain info and validate initiatives
(2) Secure "product design/development" theme
(1) Excellence in teaching (not technology)
(1) develop a plan based on Design
**(1) Wiki
(1) Image/credentials
(1) Globalize SME and MFG engineering education
Make more contacts
high level connections (NAE, NAS, NIST, NAM, etc)
write strawman curricula
Expand overseas grad program offerings
Outreach to young/diverse people
Advertise the true meaning of manufacturing
Visibility on SME home page
Increase the student pipeline for manufacturing education
Report
People networks
Consistent certifications/credentials
SME and Ed. Foundation focus on manufacturing eng. and tech. programs
The Wiki - Steve Wendel is looking into it. We need to identify moderators (Alan LeDuc) and contributors (based on the Curricula 2015?). The focus would be on Manufacturing Education.
The CIRP - CIMEC meeting - Volunteers are needed to attend.
