Our SME Team is pleased to be supporting the Design & Make Challenge again this year and helping to inspire the next generation of young engineers. #UKmfg #WMGOutreach WMG Business
Today’s the day for the Design & Make Challenge, one of the UK’s biggest independent #STEM challenges. Organised by the Manufacturing Assembly Network we’ve got 14 schools and nearly 70 pupils here #ukmfg
New research: Education and training for industry 4.0: a case study of a manufacturing ecosystem https://lnkd.in/dZQ3WrVg
In my estimation, the explosive growth in the software/electronics world in the last decade is largely because the barrier to entry has been lowered. For example, I learned a ton about subnetting, routing, and basic sysadmin stuff during high school, MOSTLY because it was accessible. The tools of that trade are open-source, and accessible to anyone with a PC made in the last 15 years. There's an insanely low cost to play the game. That's a huge part of why I learned it. It was an accessible challenge with clear application in today's world. On the contrary, machining and manufacturing have a pretty high barrier to entry. I was fortunate enough that a dear friend introduced me to manufacturing with a Bridgeport mill and a manual lathe and a Miller TIG welder in his garage. I was even more fortunate to continue that education surrounded by eager(/eccentric?) peers in Auburn's makerspace. Not everyone is that fortunate. Without those blessings, I'd have a much narrower skillset. And probably much less sense of my own calling as well. I really believe one of the most profitable things we could do as a society is to lower the barrier to entry for learning "making". High schools, universities, and public makerspace organizations have a civic responsibility to help make manufacturing accessible. I'd challenge many for-profit companies to take on some of that responsibility as well (and I'm happy to work somewhere that has a healthy dose of this ethos). Making these technologies accessible creates growth and options for people. It certainly did for me. Glad to see my alma mater taking another step in the right direction, and excited to see more organizations join in.
The Samuel Ginn College of Engineering will create an Analytical, Innovation and Manufacturing Laboratory to specifically foster workforce development, interdisciplinary collaboration and industry-relevant research and innovation aimed broadly at advanced manufacturing.

Matching world class talent with leading organisations across the EMEA and further afield!
The Institute for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering (AME) has just completed the expansion of their facility, having invested £6 million. The new premises include advanced digital engineering labs, industrial automation training facilities, and next-generation production and prototyping capabilities. 💻 🔧 🤖 This expansion will help the Institute to continue to provide world-class industry-leading services and to equip future generations of engineers with the skills they need to help them take on some of the biggest challenges manufacturing faces. I'm excited to see AMI developing innovative ways to bring new industries and services to the market, and driving the UK engineering industry into the future. 🤩 #AdvancedEngineering #DigitalTransformation #ManufacturingInnovation
