In response to rapid technological advances and changing student and employer needs, Florence-Darlington Technical College will enhance its Machine Tool Technology (MTT) laboratory instruction through a comprehensive infusion of state-of-the-art equipment, instructional software, and enhanced instructional design. The project will improve the learning environment of MTT students - emphasizing higher levels of creative problem-solving, teamwork, problem analysis, creativity and computer skills - and will include the re-design of core Computer Numerical Control (CNC) theory courses that will directly impact more than 300 curriculum and continuing education students annually. The project centers around a modern laboratory environment anchored by computers with specialized simulation software and computer-controlled lathes with industry-standard controls. The laboratory environment will simulate that of industry and be enhanced by an inteactive, eam setting that more closely reflects the global work environment of the 21st century. This approach will encourage students to learn how to learn, emphasizing creative problem-solving, effective communication skills, goal identification and evaluation, and teamwork. Students will be introduced to machining operations through exercises that combine practical, hands-on experience with creative problem-solving and project management within a team environment. The concept of computer integration with the machining process will be taught by allowing students to perform experiments, develop scientific and technical skills in creating designs, run simulations, and produce a product using state-of-the-art technology. Students will gain a greater working knowledge of the entire CNC process and will acquire key skills required by local business and industry. The project will integrate traditional machine tool education with the in-demand skills of leadership, quality and reliability, production process, computer automation, and teamwork. *

为了应对快速的技术进步和不断变化的学生和雇主的需求，佛罗伦萨-达林顿技术学院将通过全面注入最先进的设备，教学软件和增强的教学设计来加强其机床技术（MTT）实验室教学。 该项目将改善MTT学生的学习环境-强调更高水平的创造性解决问题，团队合作，问题分析，创造力和计算机技能-并将包括核心计算机数控（CNC）理论课程的重新设计，这将直接影响每年300多名课程和继续教育学生。 该项目围绕着一个现代化的实验室环境，由配备专业模拟软件的计算机和配备行业标准控制的计算机控制车床组成。 实验室环境将模拟工业环境，并通过更紧密地反映21世纪全球工作环境的交互式eam设置来增强。 这种方法将鼓励学生学会如何学习，强调创造性地解决问题，有效的沟通技巧，目标识别和评估，以及团队合作。 学生将通过练习，结合联合收割机的实际操作经验与创造性的解决问题和项目管理的团队环境中介绍加工操作。 计算机与加工过程集成的概念将通过允许学生进行实验，开发科学和技术技能来创建设计，运行模拟，并使用最先进的技术生产产品来教授。 学生将获得整个CNC过程的更多工作知识，并将获得当地企业和行业所需的关键技能。 该项目将把传统的机床教育与领导力、质量和可靠性、生产过程、计算机自动化和团队合作等所需技能相结合。 *
