Gateway to Manufacturing Excellence Project

在弗洛里森特山谷圣路易斯社区学院（SLCC-FV）的领导下，密苏里大学罗拉分校（UMR）和圣路易斯地区28个学区的技术预备联盟合作开展了该项目。该项目的重点是开发3-D实体建模（Unigraphics）课程，为中学教师提供专业发展，为高中生提供学生丰富和推广活动，以及适应和实施南卡罗来纳州ATE技术门户计划。通过立法机构和前州长的领导以及密苏里州的财政支持，弗洛里森特山谷的圣路易斯社区学院已经参与了对其设施和项目的广泛升级。在过去的三年里，密苏里州已经拨款150多万美元给该学院，以加强其制造相关项目的实验室设施，并拨款210万美元扩大物理设施。该项目的范围包括开发一门制造相关主题的副学士课程，为高中教师和学生组织制造相关主题的研讨会和培训课程，并实施技术之门（发展）计划，以提高SLCC-FV学生对工程和工程技术计划的准备。

Under the leadership of St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley (SLCC-FV), the University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR), and the St. Louis Area Tech-Prep Consortium of 28 school districts partner for this project. The project focuses on the development of a 3-D Solid Modeling (Unigraphics) course, professional development for secondary school teachers, student enrichment and outreach activities for high school students, and adaptation and implementation of South Carolina ATE Gateway to Technology program.Through the legislative and former governor's leadership and financial support from the state of Missouri, St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley has already been involved in an extensive upgrade of its facilities and programs. In the last three years the state of Missouri has awarded over $1.5 million to the college to enhance its laboratory facilities for manufacturing related programs, and has appropriated $2.1 million to expand the physical facilities. Scope of the project includes developing one course at the associate's level in a manufacturing related topic, organizing workshops and training sessions in manufacturing related topics for high school teachers and students, and implementing Gateway to Technology (developmental) program to improve preparedness of SLCC-FV students for engineering and engineering technology programs. .
