You inform, you influence, you interact, and most importantly, you inspire young people preparing for the exciting world of learning and work. Over the next decade, 2 million manufacturing jobs will go unfilled due to the skills gap. With your help, we can mitigate this gap and show students the reality of modern manufacturing. Many people of all ages are amazed to learn how much we manufacture in the United States and how diverse the careers are in our dynamic industry. Today’s manufacturing is about new innovation, making an impact, and a chance to design and build the future. Whether they are interested in design, engineering, or even the business side of the industry, there is a place for everyone in manufacturing. Not only does our industry offer a wide variety of demanding and fulfilling roles, it also offers high pay and opportunity for career advancement. This toolkit will provide you with a number of activities to expand students’ knowledge and awareness of the manufacturing industry. With your help, we can demystify manufacturing and open students to new horizons in their career explorations. Thank you for your commitment to this industry.

Developing a product requires being able to visual, design, program, and more. Just think, instead of fixing a car, you could design the parts for a car. The manufacturing industry requires other areas of expertise too, offering careers from customer service to marketing to finance. WHAT IS MANUFACTURING? WHAT IS MANUFACTURING? It depends who you ask. Merriam-Webster defines manufacturing as “the process of making products, especially with machines in factories.” While that is technically true, those machines today likely include robots and conveyors. The factories may be as small as a one-room house or as large as a city block, and may very well be full of computers and sensors. The products can be everything from wind turbines to potato chips to silicon wafers. SIMPLY PUT, MANUFACTURING IS MAKING STUFF. For consumers, manufacturing is behind all the products we buy and use. For economists, manufacturing represents value-added production and a source of wealth in a community. For millions of workers and their families, manufacturing means jobs—designing machinery, developing products, fixing robots, working in software, working in green technology, to name just a few. Later in this guide, you’ll see career information about the many fields in manufacturing. MANUFACTURING REQUIRES SKILL AND ABILITY: DO YOU LIKE... “Manufacturing, the tangible expression of ideas that change the world like mechanical hearts or airbags, saves lives. Manufacturing is how we interact with the universe.” JoAnn Mitchell, Senior Project Leader, Sandvik Coromant SOLVING PUZZLES? ROBOTICS? BUILDING WITH LEGOS? ASSEMBLING MODELS? FIXING CARS, SNOWMOBILES, OR BIKES? CHAPTER ONE 5 WHAT IS MANUFACTURING? APPLICABLE EDUCATION STANDARDS: STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO: u Place parts of a story in the appropriate order to represent the manufacturing cycle. u Understand and identify 12 manufacturing terms with their definitions. u Contrast the phenomenon of reality vs. perception. u Appreciate machining and welding. u Apply the manufacturing cycle to a product they create. u Differentiate steps of the manufacturing cycle. u Apply research from different manufacturing companies into a creative jingle or slogan. HELPFUL TIP Introduce your students to manufacturing by showing them one of the following videos: DOUGLAS SCIENTIFIC Alexandria, MN WSI INDUSTRIES Monticello, MN PEQUOT TOOL & MANUFACTURING Pequot Lakes, MN JONES METAL Mankato, MN GRAPHIC PACKAGING Crosby, MN SCIENCE: (GRADE 6-12) Strand 1: Nature of Science and Engineering Sub strand 1: The practice of science (grade 7-12) Sub strand 2: The practice of engineering (grade 6, 9-12) Sub strand 3: Interaction among science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and society TECHNOLOGY: (GRADE 9-12) Strand 1: Inquiry, Research, and Problem Solving: The student will learn a continuous cycle of questioning, gathering, synthesizing, evaluating, and using information individually and collaboratively to create new knowledge and apply it to real world situations. Strand 2: Expanding Literacies: Read, view, listen, and communicate in any format for a variety of purposes. Sub strand 2: Collaboration LANGUAGE ARTS: (GRADE 6-12) Anchor Standards for speaking, viewing, listening, & media literacy: Strand 1: Comprehension and Collaboration Strand 2: Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas Strand 3: Media Literacy Anchor Language Standards: Strand 4: Conventions of standard English Anchor Standards for Writing: Strand 5: Text types and purposes Strand 6: Research to build and present knowledge CHAPTER ONE OBJECTIVES: 6 Please be advised that the Applicable Education Standards are set to Minnesota state standards. EXERCISE: REALITY VS. PERCEPTION: Often, when we think of manufacturing, we think of how it was in the Industrial Revolution, but that’s not what manufacturing is today. Now, manufacturing uses technology and robotics—it’s clean, safe, and innovative. Additionally, while there is a lot of talk about manufacturing jobs moving overseas, there are many manufacturing companies who have stayed and will continue to stay in the United States. The reasons are many, including being able to better manage intellectual property and quality control—things that affect the overall cost. Today’s manufacturing jobs are all about being innovative and creative to meet consumer needs—like you hear about in the videos. 1. INSTRUCTOR: Review terms using the PowerPoint for Activity 1. 2.
