A Consortium for the Development of Advanced Manufacturing Education

该项目的主要目的是创建一个模型技术教育计划，从一个选定的学科开始，并使其适应其他工程技术。该项目还将建立中学、两年制和四年制大学、教育和劳动力机构、专业组织和私营企业之间的合作模式。 该项目提议在休斯顿的斯普林分支独立学区、休斯顿社区学院系统西北学院、休斯顿大学技术学院和选定的私营企业合作伙伴之间建立一个非正式联合体。 该项目将包括：（1）对工业教育和培训要求进行需求评估;（2）在中学、社区学院和四年制学院一级制定课程;（3）通过教育和工业导师/学徒机会促进教师/学生发展;（4）评估项目绩效。

The primary purpose of this project is to create a model technology educational program beginning with one selected discipline and adapting it to other engineering technologies. The project will also create a model of collaboration between secondary schools, two-year and four-year colleges, educational and work force agencies, professional organizations, and private industry. This project proposes an informal consortium between Houston's Spring Branch Independent School District, the Northwest College of the Houston Community College System, the College of Technology of the University of Houston, and selected private industry partners. The project will encompass 1) a needs assessment of industrial educational and training requirements, 2) curriculum development at the secondary, community college, and four-year college levels, and 3) faculty/student development through educational and industry mentor/apprenticeship opportunities, and 4) and evaluation of the projects performance.NSF Form 1295(9/93)
