Survey of manufacturing company expectations based on the SME four pillars of manufacturing knowledge

Abstract

Survey results are presented that identify and compare industry and academic perspectives of topics in a curriculum model based on the Four Pillars of Manufacturing Knowledge that a incorporates topics from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers Body of Knowledge for Certification of Manufacturing Engineering and Technologists with accreditation criteria. The model divides the broad field of Manufacturing Engineering into teachable divisions aligned to industry needs. The survey results indicate there is a good match between the model and expectations. In addition, the survey identifies higher priority manufacturing topics for education, and provides insights into how different types of academic programs prioritize the various topics of manufacturing. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2013.
