About this Abstract
Meeting MS&T21: Materials Science & Technology
Symposium Curricular Innovations and Continuous Improvement of Academic Programs (and Satisfying ABET along the Way): The Elizabeth Judson Memorial Symposium
Presentation Title Universities, DOD Manufacturing Institutes and US Manufacturing- The MEEP Program
Author(s) Cindy Waters, Jeremy Chang
On-Site Speaker (Planned) Jeremy Chang
Abstract Scope Experts agree more engineers are needed to rebuild American manufacturing. Stakeholders in the Department of Defense (DOD) believe that a skilled workforce has been the bedrock of national security. Universities play a key role in providing this education yet there must also be buy-in from industry, and the DOD. The OSD for R&E in partnership with ONR, funded a group of educational and industry partners through the Manufacturing Engineering Education Program (MEEP). The MEEP supports programs that grow the current and future manufacturing workforce to produce systems and components that assure defense technological superiority. The 13 funded programs include six that work directly with Manufacturing Institutes, eight have a component of a K-12 initiative, and ten have a University or Community College initiative. We work with the organizations to leverage the accomplishments of each program. The methods used to virtually administer the program and the significant results will be presented
