Implementing a Modular Curriculum in Computer-Integrated Manufacturing

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的先进集成制造中心（AIM中心）开发的课程。该项目使学生有虚拟的工作经验，并提供教师的发展，为地区大学教师和高中教师。新的课程，适应佛罗里达社区学院系统，具有模块化的设计，使学生能够在压缩的时间内完成他们的教育，同时获得真实的世界的经验，在新的实验室。与行业团体、州立大学、公立学校和劳动力发展组织的现有合作有助于招募和留住学生，特别是那些来自代表性不足群体的学生。教师专业发展机会正在通过在学院的市中心校区开发的新的先进技术中心，并与合作大学和辛克莱社区学院的AIM中心提供。在FCCJ和GCCC的后续活动涉及学术和技术教师在协作课程的开发和实施支持性学习的机会，如集成的基于问题的学习和学习社区与AIM中心的模块化，基于能力的方法相一致。

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.
