Dr. Liou contributed to an article from engineering.com, titled Bridging the Skills Gap in the Manufacturing Industry.
The following excerpt discusses Dr. Liou’s thoughts on the topic:
“Many engineers simply do not have the skills for advanced manufacturing processes, such as additive manufacturing and 3d printing,” said Frank Liou, director of the manufacturing engineering program at Missouri University of Science and Technology. “For example, most engineers still don’t know how to properly design a part for 3D printing, and while many students know how to build a CAD drawing, they don’t know how to apply CAD/CAM and use CAD data to drive the manufacturing process.”
