The engineer of the year 2020 and beyond will require an increasingly broad set of technical and business skills. Today's technical environment already spans from product development to design to planning for manufacture to manufacture to qualification to marketing and to maintenance of a product. In the future, engineers will also address business requirements to include: marketing, capital equipment justification and procurement, pricing and capitalization. In general, engineers of the future will provide many of the business and technical integration requirements linking engineering and business. Our focus and presentation of the technologies of engineering will strongly be skewed toward how these activities fit into the manufacturing of a product but also with emphasis of design and planning for manufacturing. Integration (both functional where design is linked to manufacturing and informational where data is available to everybody) is key to future engineering success. Our presentation of materials in this repository will be directed toward this vision.
