QCAM Education
- Broadening the impact of QCAM by extensive use of online platforms (e.g. distance education), preparing curriculum for Online MSe in AM.
- Enabling multi-university course development (potentially MSIPP cross-consortium) and engagement of students from multiple campuses in a single course.
- Engaging labs in course development using distance education platforms.
- Engaging undergraduate students in R&D in projects defined by labs and create lab-student interaction in these projects.
- Leverage New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation (New Mexico AMP) funded by National Science Foundation (NSF) will work with QCAM to enhance undergraduate research activities.
- Increasing highly skilled students with multi-disciplinary knowledge of AM, NDT, sensing, data processing, and machine learning.
- Engaging students from mechanical, industrial, and electrical engineering departments in a single research team to enhance the students' soft-skills in teamwork and prepare them to work in a team of engineers with multi-disciplinary knowledge.
- Engaging graduate students in R&D with DOE industry/labs through co-advising.
- Leveraging the College of Engineering Enhancement Institute (CE2I) (PVAMU) to expose incoming freshman students to AM with theoretical and hands-on modules.
- Leveraging the NMSU, NTU, and PVAMU distance education programs such as the Center for Instructional Innovation and Technology Services (CIITS) to develop high-quality online courses.
