Georgia Institute of Technology Saldaña is, in addition to being Georgia Tech's manufacturing group chair, the instructor for Georgia Tech's capstone design course and also lead faculty for a new NSF industry–university cooperative research center in advanced manufacturing. He spoke about the university's efforts to build an "ecosystem" for an undergraduate experience centered around manufacturing education.

approaches. And while the move to CAM was made for more practical reasons, Saldaña comments that such CAM-based approaches "port really well to advanced manufacturing kinds of concepts." From there, students move into the manufacturing courses.

Then they developed scaled manufacturing approaches that made it possible to produce millions of units in collaboration with companies that the university was already working with. Moving to supercurricular activities, Saldaña said that advanced manufacturing plays a big role within its competition teams, which use advanced manufacturing techniques to field their systems.

"Whatever we do at this [university] level is probably a little bit too late." And he said that various studies have indicated that many of the students who decide to go into engineering have made their decisions by middle school, if not earlier.
