Energy System Instrumentation and Control Technician Curriculum: An Energy Resource Strategy for Improving Learner Outcomes

该项目正在为能源生产技术人员开设为期两年的能源系统仪器与控制技术员(ESICT)课程，开设化石能源、水电、可再生能源和核能的交叉课程。这一努力正在满足不断增长的地区/国家技术人员劳动力需求，并增加了对能源部门作为职业机会的理解。它还改善了高中生和其他人口进入实地的渠道，并最大限度地提高了学生的准备能力。该项目正在开发和实施一项以能力为基础的课程，以确保美国能源行业两年制技术学院毕业生的就业能力和职业流动性。ESICT的合作伙伴包括电力公用事业、四年制和两年制大学、高中、社会服务组织和爱达荷州国家实验室。该项目正在通过一个区域讲习班传播其能力模型和课程，其中包括爱达荷州的伙伴大学、能源行业、犹他州和内华达州的区域教育机构以及社区。

This project is creating cross-cutting curricula in fossil, hydroelectric, renewable, and nuclear energy for a two-year Energy System Instrumentation and Control Technician (ESICT) Program for energy-production technicians. This effort is meeting the growing regional/national technician workforce demand and increasing the understanding of the energy sector as a career opportunity. It is also improving the pipeline of high school students and other populations into the field as well as maximizing student preparedness. The project is developing and implementing a competency-based curriculum to insure the employability and career mobility of two-year technical college graduates across the U.S. energy industry. ESICT partners include power utilities, four-year and two-year colleges, high schools, social service organizations, and the Idaho National Laboratory. The project is disseminating its competency model and curricula through a regional workshop to include partner colleges in Idaho, the energy industry, regional educational institutions in Utah and Nevada, and the community.
