Implementing a Modular Curriculum in Computer-Integrated Manufacturing

位于杰克逊维尔的佛罗里达社区学院（FCCJ）和墨西哥湾沿岸社区学院（GCCC）正在调整和实施由俄亥俄州代顿先进集成制造中心（AIM中心）开发的课程。该项目使学生能够获得虚拟工作经验，并为地区大学教师和高中教师提供教师发展。新课程适应佛罗里达社区学院系统，采用模块化设计，允许学生在压缩时间内完成教育，同时在新的实验室获得真实世界的经验。与工业团体、州立大学、公立学校和劳动力发展组织的现有合作正在帮助招收和留住学生，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体的学生。学院市中心校区新开发的先进技术中心以及与合作大学和辛克莱社区学院的AIM中心为教师提供专业发展机会。FCCJ和GCCC的后续活动涉及学术和技术教师的合作课程开发和支持性学习机会的实施，例如基于问题的综合学习和与AIM中心的模块化、基于能力的方法相一致的学习社区。

Faculty of Florida Community College in Jacksonville (FCCJ) and Gulf Coast Community College (GCCC) are adapting and implementing curricula developed by the Advanced Integrated Manufacturing Center in Dayton, Ohio (AIM Center). The project enables students to have virtual work experiences, and provides faculty development for regional college instructors and high school teachers. The new curricula, adapted to the Florida Community College System, features a modular design that allows students to complete their education in a compressed time while gaining real world experiences in new laboratories. Existing collaborations with industry groups, state universities, public schools, and workforce development organizations are helping to recruit and retain students, particularly those from underrepresented groups. Faculty professional development opportunities are being provided through the new Advanced Technology Center developed at the Downtown Campus of the College and with partner universities and the AIM Center at Sinclair Community College. Follow-up activities at FCCJ and GCCC involve both academic and technical faculty in collaborative curriculum development and implementation of supportive learning opportunities, such as integrated problem-based learning and learning communities congruent with the AIM Center's modular, competency-based approach.
