A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
Manufacturing is a foundation of economic growth and job creation across the U.S. and is constantly changing with improvements in technology, materials and design. While this field is a pillar for economic growth within the US, manufacturing companies have struggled to recruit a prepared workforce. Our intention is to strengthen middle/high school teacher’s understanding of the multiple career pathways in manufacturing along with their ability to explain how new manufacturing technologies depend on the advancement of engineering and science. Our first cohort of teachers began in the summer of 2023. These teachers not only became researchers and pushed forward their projects, they also shared their teaching expertise with our faculty and graduate students.
