Further study is needed on the best ways and education approaches to develop effective EWD programs, including the critical role of scalable online technologies. In addition, companies pursuing advanced manufacturing likely will not implement only one institute technology, but will need to pursue a number of them.

It also needs to understand and consider other "hard technology" areas developing in other nations in such institute topic areas as biofabrication, advanced materials, com posites, photonics, functional fibers, power electronics, etc. If a study can inform the development of such an assessment process and advise on its organization, strategy, and funding model, it could also inform manufacturing institute technol ogy development agendas and roadmapping, including getting the needed mix of institutes and technologies.

Thus, the committee recommends that DoD prioritize the topics for future wellcoordinated follow-on studies such that each can be executed with a realistic scope and carried out in a reasonable length of time and budget. However, the first study recommended above concerning "Evaluation Criteria for DoD Manufacturing Innovation Institutes" was identified by the study committee as the most pressing topic, and it recommends that it be undertaken promptly on an accelerated basis.
