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

工程技术-（58）2002年，韦恩州立大学（WSU）获得了美国国家科学基金会（NSF）的资助，以开发一种适应学习工厂模式的方法，这种方法的实施成本较低。该项目的重点是在选定的课程中，在标准实验室环境中引入协调的实践项目，使用模型引擎应用程序作为统一的主题。事实证明，这种方法是一种更具成本效益的方式，可以让学生在产品实现所涉及的一系列问题上获得实践经验。这个CCLI第二阶段项目的目标是从WSU以前的工作中提取课程水平学习成果的核心，并开发一种方法，将这些成果映射到更高的课程水平成果，以帮助满足行业定义的学生能力差距。 该项目采取了成功的方法，在多个课程中使用协调的实践活动，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。学生将通过尝试事物来学习，并以全面，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.
