Passport To Success: A Site-Based Pathways Program in Computer Integrated Manufacturing for Women and Other Non-Traditional Students

该项目开发计算机集成制造方面的证书和副学士学位课程。它提供了一条从高中到两年副学士学位再到工程学士学位和职业介绍的无缝教育途径。它涉及一个区域伙伴关系，重点是招聘和培训妇女和非传统学生，以满足该区域的技术劳动力需求。它建立在区域高中先前实施的ATE项目中采用的以现场为基础的学习方法的基础上。主要活动包括在现有课程和课程中建立计算机集成制造选项，将技术经验整合到整个课程中，建立一个中心和实验室，在现场学习体验、外联和招聘、暑期迎新和实习以及一系列其他支助服务之前模拟项目。所有教学材料的概要应提供给对开发类似的计算机集成制造程序感兴趣的其他人。

This project develops certificate and associate degree programs in computer integrated manufacturing. It provides a seamless educational pathway from high school through the two year associate degree on to a baccalaureate engineering degree and career placement. It involves a regional partnership focused on recruiting and training women and non-traditional students to meet the technology workforce needs of the region. It builds on and adapts a site-based learning approach employed in a prior ATE project implemented in the regional high schools. The major activities include establishing computer integrated manufacturing options in existing courses and curricula, integration of technical experiences across the curriculum, establishing a center and lab to simulate projects prior to the site-based learning experience, outreach and recruitment, summer orientation and internships and a host of other support services. A compendium of all instructional materials is to be made available to others interested in developing similar programs in computer integrated manufacturing.
