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 to contribute to manufacturing. This study and workshop will examine advanced manufacturing techniques for the defense industry and explore how undergraduate engineering courses can better introduce advanced manufacturing.
This project is organized by the National Materials and Manufacturing Board in collaboration with the National Academy of Engineering.
