Abstract

The authors describe Greenfield, a new model for manufacturing education that is based on the combination of skill and deep engineering knowledge that results from a combination of engineering practice and innovative pedagogy. It may well serve as model for education in all branches of engineering. It also provides new sources of engineering/technology graduates. The authors describe how this new approach is being demonstrated at Focus:HOPE´s Center for Advanced Technologies (CAT) in Detroit, Michigan, USA. The students or candidates in the CAT will be employed full-time while they are pursuing their degrees
