The National Center for Manufacturing Education at Sinclair Community College (Dayton, OH) and its academic and industry partners are expanding upon their Resource Center and Technical Assistance roles. The goals of the Resource Center are:(1) To be a clearinghouse of readily accessible resources for improving manufacturing education. The steps that are being undertaken to satisfy this goal include:(a) Establishing a process and the criteria for determining center-approvedresources to be included in the database.(b) Classifying center-approved resources to facilitate efficient access.(c) Developing and maintaining a website as the primary means of user access.(d) Developing links to other organizations and entities that provide information or materials relevant to manufacturing education.(e) Developing and implementing a clearinghouse dissemination strategy that includes the use of brochures, abstracts, how-to-find flyers, and conferences.(f) Obtaining periodic feedback from existing and potential users as to the scope of materials and the features of the clearinghouse, for continuous improvement.(2) To provide support services for stakeholders on the effective use of the Resource Center and the implementation of its products by:(a) Developing and offering services that provide professional development opportunities on manufacturing related subject topics.(b) Developing and offering services that provide assistance to institutions and their faculty that wish to start or improve manufacturing technology programs.(c) Assessing the services related to manufacturing education on a periodic basis for the purpose of continuous improvement.Intellectual Merit: The project is developing a national clearinghouse of manufacturing education instructional materials. The Center uses its web site as a primary national clearinghouse for exemplary manufacturing education materials. Materials are being selected by peer review, categorized, and incorporated into a searchable database. The site has other information and links to other Internet sites. Center staff continue to provide professional development/consulting in faculty professional development; adapting and adopting new manufacturing curricula and course materials; and starting and improving manufacturing technology programs.Broader Impacts: The project is disseminating effective models and pedagogical approaches in technical science, technical mathematics, and manufacturing education. The peer reviewed instructional materials focus on integrating research activities into classroom teaching of manufacturing at the undergraduate level. Faculty are using the materials resulting in improved student learning. This project involves collaboration between disciplines (technical mathematics, technical science, and manufacturing technology) and several types of institutions including colleges, universities, industry, and professional associations to improve manufacturing education. The project is disseminating exemplary learning materials and providing technical assistance to community college faculty and administrators.

辛克莱社区学院（俄亥俄州代顿）的国家制造教育中心及其学术和行业合作伙伴正在扩大其资源中心和技术援助的作用。资源中心的目标是：(1) 成为改善制造教育的易于获取的资源的交换所。为实现这一目标而采取的步骤包括：(a) 建立确定将中心批准的资源纳入数据库的流程和标准。(b) 对中心批准的资源进行分类，以促进有效访问。(c) 开发和维护网站，作为用户访问的主要手段。(d) 建立与提供与制造教育相关的信息或材料的其他组织和实体的链接。(e) 开发和实施 信息交换所传播策略，包括使用小册子、摘要、如何查找传单和会议。(f) 定期从现有和潜在用户那里获取有关材料范围和信息交换所功能的反馈，以进行持续改进。(2) 通过以下方式为利益相关者提供有效利用资源中心及其产品实施的支持服务：(a) 开发和提供服务，为制造相关主题提供专业发展机会 (b) 开发和提供服务，为希望启动或改进制造技术项目的机构及其教员提供帮助。(c) 定期评估与制造教育相关的服务，以实现持续改进。智力价值：该项目正在开发一个国家制造教育教学材料交换所。该中心将其网站用作示范性制造教育材料的主要国家信息交换所。材料通过同行评审进行选择、分类并纳入可搜索的数据库中。该网站还有其他信息以及其他互联网网站的链接。中心工作人员继续提供教师专业发展的专业发展/咨询；适应和采用新的制造课程和课程材料；更广泛的影响：该项目正在传播技术科学、技术数学和制造教育方面的有效模型和教学方法。同行评审的教学材料侧重于将研究活动融入本科阶段的制造课堂教学中。教师们正在使用这些材料来改善学生的学习。该项目涉及学科（技术数学、技术科学和制造技术）与学院、大学、行业和专业协会等多种类型机构之间的合作，以改善制造教育。该项目正在传播示范性学习材料，并向社区大学教师和管理人员提供技术援助。
