Digital Imaging Laboratory Development Program

位于哈林根的德克萨斯州立技术学院提议开发数字成像技术课程，为新兴数字成像技术领域的学生提供专业技能和培训。 爆炸性的新数字成像技术正在极大地改变图形艺术/电子成像行业。 虽然这项技术今天已经存在，但由于缺乏知识和人员在数字成像及其好处方面的培训不足，全国各地的工作地点跟上新兴方法的能力受到了阻碍。 该项目提出了数字成像课程的发展，并侧重于创建一个领先的数字成像实验室/工作室，以促进使用非传统的学习方法，鼓励学生和教师之间的互动学习，团队建设和创造性的解决问题。 该项目的其他关键组成部分包括与中学学习机构，技术准备/学校工作倡议以及区域，州和国家行业的广泛合作。 该项目所服务的人口包括得克萨斯州格兰德河山谷的学生--这是一个以西班牙裔为主的人口稠密地区。 远程学习技术将用于向该州偏远地区的艺术和技术型高中生提供机会，他们可以在职业发展过程的早期从这种培训中受益。

Texas State Technical College at Harlingen proposes the development of a Digital Imaging Technology Program to provide specialized skills and training to students in the emerging field of digital imaging technology. Explosive new digital imaging technologies are dramatically changing the graphic arts/electronic imaging industry. Although the technology is here today, the ability of work sites across the country to keep up with newly emerging methods has been impeded by lack of knowledge and inadequate training of personnel in digital imaging and its benefits. This project proposes the development of digital imaging curriculum and focuses on the creation of a leading edge digital imaging laboratory/studio to facilitate the use of nontraditional learning approaches that encourage interactive learning, team building, and creative problem solving among students and instructors. Other key components of the project include extensive collaborative efforts with secondary learning institutions, the Tech Prep/School to Work Initiative, and regional, state and national industries. The population to be served by the project includes students in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas--a predominantly Hispanic populated area. Distance learning techniques will be used to provide access to artistically and technically oriented high school students in remote areas of the state who can benefit from such training early in their career development process.
