The Story of Jacob and Esau
Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in
from the open country, famished.
30
He said to Jacob,
Quick, let me have some of that red stew! Im
famished!
31
Jacob replied, First sell me your birthright.
32
Look, I am about to die, Esau said. What good is
the birthright to me?
33
But Jacob said, Swear to me first. So he swore an
oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob.

The strain on todays educators for
immediate results, in spite of decreasing
budgets and distracting priorities, is
hindering developing and fulfilling a
vision for education that is keeping pace
with our exponentially changing world.
No where is this more evident than
todays manufacturing education.

Whats driving the pending Digital
Industrial Revolution?
As digitally controlled equipment and
manufacturing processes continue to
become more intelligent, the need for
operator interface is continually
decreasing.

Engineering & Manufacturing Careers?
Consider the 20
th
century career path for a
secretary
Digital technology enabled bypassing the
secretary to go directly to the final product
The secretary was no longer an extension of the
typewriter
Secretary redefined as executive assistant with a
different set of skill requirements

What will this mean for 21
st
Century
Engineering & Manufacturing Careers?
Consider the 21
st
century career path for a
machine operator
Digital technology will enable the designer and
engineer to go directly to the final product
The machine operator will not longer be an
extension of the machine
Machine operators will become part of the
development team with a different set of skill
requirements

Thought
600,000 of todays manufacturing
jobs are unfilled
100% of tomorrows
manufacturing jobs are unfilled
By Applied Systems & Technology Transfer, LLC
While it is essential that we
educate and train students to fill
todays manufacturing jobs, it is
equally essential that we give
them the skills to transition to
tomorrows jobs.

Educations Challenge
The 20
th
century educational system does not
address the dynamic challenges of the 21
st
century pending digital industrial revolution.
The way students are being taught is
diverging rapidly fromtheir daily lives.

Visionary Manufacturing Challenges
for 2020
National Academy of Sciences study defined the
challenges facing manufacturings transition:
Addressing the educational and
training challenges are integral to
achieving and maintaining
manufacturing global leadership
By Applied Systems & Technology Transfer, LLC
NAS Findings
The global distribution of highly competitive
production resources, including skilled
workforces, will be a critical factor in the
organization of manufacturing enterprises
The basis of competition will be creativity and
innovation in all aspects of manufacturing
It is essential that we understand the effects of
new technologies (i.e. Additive Manufacturing)
on the manufacturing workforce, work
environment, and the surrounding community
By Applied Systems & Technology Transfer, LLC
NAS Educational Imperatives
New manufacturing educational methods
must enable rapid assimilation of knowledge
Manufacturing educational technologies must
enhance interactive distance as well as
classroomlearning
Because manufacturing is inherently
multidisciplinary the most effective
educational methods will be multidisciplinary

Call to Action for Todays Educaiton
Share and create the vision where manufacturing
education:
Provides students career skills as well as life skills
Creates a learning environment as opposed to a
teaching environment
Engages all students to explore STEM and
manufacturing careers, especially minorities and
women
Emphasis on career readiness as well college
readiness
Creates CTC education as an equal choice, not the
other alternative
