Revitalizing US Manufacturing
to Capitalize on Innovation
• Manufacturing today and in the future:
– Perspectives: Industry, government, academia
– Business, policy and economics, and educational programs
required.
• Summit themes:
– Changing the perception about manufacturing in the US
– The needs for education for young professionals interested
in careers in manufacturing.

Revitalizing US Manufacturing
to Capitalize on Innovation
• Proposed Summit Outcome:
– Outline and draft for a whitepaper and proposal for
funding in education for professional degrees in
manufacturing.
– A call-to-action : describe industry needs, and the
opportunity for industry and university partnerships.
– National institutionalization of “MEng In Manufacturing”like programs?

Public Perception of Manufacturing
• The Manufacturing Institute and
Deloitte: U.S. public greatly supports
the manufacturing industry and would
choose to have a manufacturing plant
open in their region over other types of
employers. However, the public is
unwilling to encourage their children
pursue careers in manufacturing and
believes the government has not
enacted policies supportive of the
manufacturing sector.

Alumni Feedback
“This degree not only gave me the “hard skills” like, Statistic Quality Control,
Accounting and supply chain knowledge, and design for customer needs, it also taught
“soft skills” such as how to be fast leaner, how to adapt to new environment, working
in teams, and insight into entrepreneurship.”
Diao Zongjie Product Engineer Avago Technologies (Formerly Agilent)
The MEng helped me gain a whole new perspective towards manufacturing and industry.
I must say, I have been able to apply whatever I learnt at MIT in a period of 9 monthsfrom manufacturing and quality principles to supply chain…
Ambika Goel Design and Development Engineer Accellent Manufacturing
The experience has equipped me with understanding of a new generation of business,
grounded in engineering science knowledge, and has also taught me valuable life
skills in communication and teamwork.

Industry in the MEngM academic process
• Necessary to correctly interpret the fundamentals in practice.
• Allows manufacturers to understand what educators can and
cannot do.
• Educators care about industry needs, keep up with changes
while offering a solid fundamental education.
• Education process must be maintained, as well as effort
directed toward new topics, technologies, and approaches.
Like industry, there is a process of continuous
improvement.
