\"\"As we move through the early stages of Industry 4.0, a new industrial era categorized by digital transformation, technological advances are ushering in new opportunities for greater productivity, higher profitability, and more sustainable products and services. While these new advances unlock exciting opportunities, we\u2019re also hearing great concern from our Design and Manufacturing customers about the lack of workers prepared for emerging technologies, software tools, and workflows. At this pivotal moment, many industry leaders are wondering: Where do we find these workers and what skills should they have?<\/em> To help answer these questions, Autodesk and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) collaborated on a comprehensive research project that included an academic literature review, in-depth phone interviews, and surveys of respondents in the US, Canada, and UK. Released today, Future of Manufacturing white paper report<\/em><\/a> offers perspectives from both industry and academia that help identify the future workflows and skills needed for mechanical engineers, manufacturing engineers, and CNC machinist roles over the next decade. Ashley Huderson, Ph.D., ASME\u2019s director of engineering education and outreach, explains: \u201cWe really had to ask ourselves and the field, what is next? What are the jobs of the future and the skills needed for those jobs? And most importantly, how and who do we train for the positions that don\u2019t exist yet?\u201d <\/p>\n
