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

本计画发展电脑整合制造之证书及副学士课程。它提供了一个无缝的教育途径，从高中到两年制副学士学位，再到学士学位工程学位和职业安置。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，以满足该区域对技术劳动力的需求。它建立在并适应了一个基于站点的学习方法，在以前的ATE项目在区域高中实施。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，整合整个课程的技术经验，建立一个中心和实验室，以模拟基于现场的学习经验，宣传和招聘，夏季方向和实习以及其他支持服务。所有教学材料的概要将提供给其他有兴趣在计算机集成制造中开发类似程序的人。

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.
