AB  - Workforce development is becoming a necessary component of the modern engineering workplace as technological advances such as Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) make the product development cycle more competitive. This requires working engineers to engage in lifelong learning to meet the needs of employers and to keep current with the available engineering tools in the workplace. Traditional graduate school includes barriers such as time commitment, travel, as well as program costs. These barriers limit access to graduate education particularly for those in the workplace who are not at liberty to take time away from work to attend classes and travel to a university campus. Typical educational resources in industry are generally limited to short workshops and software training classes which focus on the use of the tool rather than its theoretical foundation and application to solve real-world engineering problems. While willing to invest in professional development for engineers, employers often lack experience in creating programs that both effectively develop CAE skills and help their engineers apply their new skills on the job. Programs specifically designed for working individuals can contribute to promoting continuous learning for individuals so that their careers thrive and employers can remain competitive. This paper will explore the need for workforce development for engineers interested in implementing CAE tools and will include a description of a pilot program being developed at a large research university for delivering CAE education to working professionals.
