The Development and Field Test of a Remote Laboratory and Web-Based Learning Modules for Wind Turbine Technician Training

该项目是：1)开发和现场测试风力机技术人员培训材料、仿真模块和支持风力机技术的远程实验室。多媒体学习材料将与行业标准保持一致，并可通过互联网交付，以补充和补充当前的课程；2)将开发的材料、模块和远程实验室整合到为期两年的大学风能技术计划中，以支持风力发电领域的劳动力发展，并将三所社区学院作为评估地点；以及3)通过NSF/ATE国家制造教育中心、国家工程技术教育交流中心和ATE TV在全国范围内传播材料、模块和远程实验室。拟议中的两年制大学教师专业发展研讨会将提供一个额外的传播渠道。联合PI将确定针对或服务于北伊利诺伊州地区代表性不足人群的技术人员计划，并向教师面对面介绍这些计划，旨在让他们意识到这些模块的潜在用途。

The project is: 1) To develop and field test wind turbine technician training materials, simulation modules, and a supporting remote laboratory for wind turbine technology. Multimedia learning materials are to be aligned with industry standards and deliverable via the Internet to supplement and complement the current curriculum; 2) To integrate the developed materials, modules, and the remote laboratory into two-year college wind technology programs to sustain workforce development in the field of wind power, with three community colleges as evaluation sites; and 3) To disseminate the materials, modules, and the remote laboratory nationwide via the NSF/ATE National Center for Manufacturing Education, the National Engineering Technology Education Clearinghouse, and ATE TV. The proposed professional development workshops for two-year college faculty members are to provide an additional channel for dissemination.The co-PI will identify technician programs aimed at or serving under-represented populations in the Northern Illinois area and make in-person presentations to the faculty of these programs aimed at making them aware of the potential uses of the modules.
