New design technicians need experience in Collaborative Design and Rapid Tooling and Manufacturing processes. In this project, faculty from community colleges engage in hands-on learning that is resulting in curriculum enhancements and improved student learning back on their home campuses. This project provides comprehensive professional development on collaborative Design and Rapid Tooling and Manufacturing for engineering and design technology faculty. During the summers of 2005 and 2006, engineering faculty members are participating in Summer Institutes offered concurrently in Dayton. OH and Ventura, CA in the two tracks. Web-based discussion groups and dissemination activities are designed to support faculty as they implement the curricular material presented in workshops. A unique feature is that the Dayton and Ventura workshops are held simultaneously permitting real-time cross-continental faculty collaboration. Faculty can e-mail files to Sinclair to produce parts during what would normally be downtime of its rapid prototyping equipment. Each year 40 engineering technology faculty members (20 in Dayton and 20 in Ventura) participate in each of the two tracks. Faculty teams in Ohio and California collaborate as industrial design teams via the Internet to design parts and use rapid prototyping technologies to manufacture the parts. This experience provides an accurate simulation of the Collaborative Design and Rapid Tooling and Manufacturing processes routinely used in business and industry. Participating faculty use the processes and simulations in their classrooms to enhance the laboratory components. The project recruits faculty who are from underserved populations and who teach at institutions with large numbers of underserved populations. Faculty participants are expected to infuse curriculum improvements developed during the Summer Institutes, providing underserved students with cutting-edge learning opportunities. All lessons and laboratory experiences created through the project are posted to the project web site.

新的设计技术人员需要协作设计以及快速模具和制造流程方面的经验。在这个项目中，社区学院的教师参与实践学习，从而改进课程并改善学生在家乡的学习。该项目为工程和设计技术教师提供协作设计、快速模具和制造方面的全面专业发展。 2005 年和 2006 年夏季，工程学院的教员参加了在代顿同时举办的暑期学院课程。俄亥俄州和加利福尼亚州文图拉有两条轨道。基于网络的讨论小组和传播活动旨在支持教师实施研讨会上介绍的课程材料。一个独特的特点是代顿和文图拉研讨会同时举行，允许实时跨大陆的教师协作。教师可以通过电子邮件将文件发送给 Sinclair，以便在快速原型设备正常停机期间生产零件。每年有 40 名工程技术教员（代顿 20 名，文图拉 20 名）参加这两个项目。俄亥俄州和加利福尼亚州的教师团队作为工业设计团队通过互联网进行协作，设计零件并使用快速原型技术来制造零件。这种经验提供了对商业和工业中常规使用的协作设计以及快速模具和制造流程的准确模拟。参与的教师在课堂上使用流程和模拟来增强实验室组件。 该项目招募的教职人员来自服务水平低下的人群，并在拥有大量服务水平低下的人群的机构中任教。教师参与者有望融入暑期学院期间开发的课程改进，为服务不足的学生提供前沿的学习机会。通过该项目创建的所有课程和实验室经验都会发布到项目网站上。
