Materials Aspects of Manufacturing Technology Institute

制造技术学院材料方面制造技术学院正在培养一批对制造技术的材料加工方面有足够背景和了解的讲师，作为加强美国技术教育的领导者。它还旨在提供一个涉及高中和社区大学教师、学生和行业的示范互动项目。这一模式展示了成功的互动课程、实验室和项目计划，并帮助技术学生跨越高中-社区大学的边界过渡。该研究所由华盛顿大学与太平洋西北地区的高中、社区学院和工业界合作开发。在三年的时间里，它将为60名高中和社区大学水平的教师提供关于材料在制造技术领域中使用的原理和应用的理解。它包括为期15天的材料科学和技术强化课程，包括讲座、实验室、讨论、独立研究和面向太平洋西北部社区大学和高中教师的项目。为期3年的计划每年有20名新参与者；在为期3年的60名参与者中，大约40名参与者将来自高中，20名参与者来自社区大学。一般情况下，来自同一地理区域的一名社区大学辅导员和两名高中辅导员组成一个团队进行项目和后续工作。被选中的参与者可以自费返回第二年。学年跟踪计划包括两个为期一天的校园会议。参与者开发互动式高中--社区大学项目，由来自附近学校的一组学生与当地行业参与联合实施。正在开发评价工具，项目组每年收集和分析评价数据。

Materials Aspects of Manufacturing Technology Institute This Materials Aspects of Manufacturing Technology Institute is developing a set of instructors with sufficient background and understanding of the materials processing aspects of manufacturing technology to serve as leaders to enhance technology education in the U.S. It is also aimed at providing a model interactive program involving high school and community college instructors and students and industry. This model is demonstrating successful interactive curricular, laboratory and project programs as well as assisting in the transition for technology students across the high school-community college boundary. This Institute is being developed by the University of Washington in partnership with high schools, community colleges and industry in the Pacific Northwest. Over a three-year period, it will provide 60 instructors at the high school and community college level with an understanding of the principles and applications of materials as they are used in the manufacturing technology field. It consists of a 15 day program intensive in materials science and technology, including lectures, labs, discussion sessions, independent research and projects for community college and high school instructors from the Pacific Northwest. Each year of the 3-year program includes 20 new participants; of the 3-year total of 60, approximately 40 participants will be from high schools and 20 from community colleges. Generally, one community college instructor and two high school instructors from the same geographical area form a team for project and follow-up work. Selected participants are allowed to return for a second year at their own expense. Academic year follow-up programs consist of 2, 1-day meetings on campus. Participants develop interactive high school--community college projects, performed jointly by a team of students from nearby schools with local industry involvement. Evaluation tools are being developed, and evaluation data is being collected annually and analyzed by the project team.
