Collaborative Research: A Flexible Adaptation Framework for Implementing 'Learning Factory' - Based Manufacturing Education

工程技术——2002年，韦恩州立大学（WSU）获得了美国国家科学基金（NSF）的资助，用于开发一种适应学习工厂模式的方法，这种方法的实施成本更低。该项目侧重于在选定课程的标准实验室环境中引入协调的动手项目，使用模型引擎应用程序作为统一主题。这种方法被证明是一种更具成本效益的方法，可以让学生在产品实现中涉及的一系列问题上获得实践经验。CCLI第二阶段项目的目标是从华盛顿州立大学以前的工作中提炼出课程水平学习成果的核心，并开发出一种方法，将这些成果映射到更高的项目水平，以帮助满足行业定义的学生能力差距。该项目采用了跨多个课程协调实践活动的成功方法，为学生提供特定的能力，并通过在四个不同机构的五个不同部门同时实施来测试其有效性。学生将通过尝试来学习，并以一种整体的、系统的方式与他人合作。

Engineering Technology - (58) In 2002, Wayne State University (WSU) was awarded an NSF grant to develop an adaptation of the Learning Factory model that would be less costly to implement. That project focused on introducing the use of coordinated hands-on projects in standard laboratory settings across selected courses, using a model engine application as the unifying theme. This approach proved to be a more cost-effective way to give students hands-on experience in a range of issues involved in product realization. The goal of this CCLI phase II project is to distill a core of course-level learning outcomes from WSU's previous work and develop an approach for mapping these to higher program-level outcomes that help to meet industry-defined competency gaps of students. This project takes the successful approach of using coordinated hands-on activities across multiple courses to provide students with specific competencies, and test its efficacy by implementing it simultaneously in five diverse departments at four different institutions. Students will learn by trying things out, and working with others in a holistic, systematic way.
