Cuiffi is leading a CESMII grant-funded project team working on creating a smart manufacturing educational toolkit and curriculum that will be utilized in his classes and for external industry workforce development. Building upon a machine already being developed by MIT and consulting with Arconic for industry expertise, Cuiffi will introduce the toolkit in an educational setting with EMET and business students in an integrated spring 2019 class, but the project has potential to go beyond a classroom for industry workforce development.
