Thanks to support from the Department of Defense’s Manufacturing Engineering Education Program, Virginia Tech is hosting a workshop to gain insight into industry and federal partners’ needs of the future defense industrial base (DIB) manufacturing workforce. The results of this workshop will be synthesized into a report that will be broadly disseminated, and will also be used to shape future curricular changes at Virginia Tech.
Your perspective is important to achieving this goal. We invite you to join us at the Future Manufacturing Workforce Workshop to provide your insight, expertise, and feedback to shape this vision.

Format:
September 15: Afternoon lab tours with an informal evening kickoff event
