About
Rich Raymond is a leading figure in engineering education, with a primary focus on workforce development in advanced manufacturing and intelligent industrial robotics. His most impactful work investigates the effectiveness of train-the-trainer workshops, designed to equip educators with the skills to teach intelligent robotics. In his 2023 study, Raymond documented the first two workshops in a series of six, held in Tennessee and Alabama, which drew 32 applicants. This work, which has garnered 3 citations, is foundational for scaling up robotics training across community colleges and technical schools. Raymond’s contributions lie in bridging the gap between cutting-edge industrial automation and accessible pedagogy, ensuring that instructors can effectively train the next generation of technicians. His research directly addresses the critical shortage of skilled workers in smart manufacturing, making him a key figure in shaping the future of technical education. By rigorously evaluating these workshops, Raymond provides a replicable model for workforce development, demonstrating how targeted training can rapidly upskill educators and, ultimately, thousands of students.
