This project is creating a flexible technician education framework that draws on the experience of the National Network Manufacturing Institutes (NNMIs) to prepare the workforce for the advanced manufacturing technical occupations of the future. The framework is being developed and piloted for curricular materials focused on Additive Manufacturing (AM) in a manner that is broadly applicable to technician education programs in other technical areas to be determined under the NNMI program. In addition the framework and associated knowledge, skills and competencies are being built around broadly accepted national and international standards (e.g. ASTM, ISO) in order to ensure broad industry recognition and acceptance. A series of workshops centered on deploying 6 modules across a variety of existing courses in AM are being held, and these are serving as the baseline for evaluating the efficacy of the framework.Intellectual Merit :Emerging advanced manufacturing educational efforts traditionally lag behind the required technician competencies in the industrial sector, which increases the shortage of qualified technicians and slows the adoption of new advanced manufacturing technologies. This project is establishing a system for the creation of educational support materials that can be accelerated into the educational marketplace. It is anticipated that this model can be replicated and utilized to seamlessly integrate and align technician education to new emerging technologies that mature out of the NNMI efforts. This project is providing a framework to structure the technical educational elements and streamline the delivery format for technical education while addressing the needs of an industry driven technically competent workforce.Broader Impacts :The materials utilize components of deeper learning to engage students from a broad variety of cultural and socio-economic demographics. Students solve complex engineering related issues through a process that fosters a sense of ownership as well as responsibility. Project personnel work closely with an Industry Advisory Council (IAC) comprised of industry stakeholders to identify appropriate content, and the IAC is providing ideas that capture the regional applications of advanced manufacturing. The flexible framework model is maximizing integration into existing curriculum materials by creating modules.

该项目正在创建一个灵活的技术员教育框架，借鉴国家网络制造研究所(NNMI)的经验，为未来的先进制造技术职业培养劳动力。该框架正在为以添加剂制造(AM)为重点的课程材料开发和试点，其方式广泛适用于根据NNMI计划确定的其他技术领域的技术人员教育计划。此外，框架和相关的知识、技能和能力正在围绕被广泛接受的国家和国际标准(如ASTM、ISO)建立，以确保广泛的行业认可和接受。正在举办一系列研讨会，重点是在AM的各种现有课程中部署6个模块，这些研讨会将作为评估框架有效性的基线。智力优势：新兴的先进制造教育努力传统上落后于工业部门所需的技术人员能力，这增加了合格技术人员的短缺，并减缓了新的先进制造技术的采用。该项目正在建立一个创建教育辅助材料的系统，可以加速进入教育市场。预计这一模式可以被复制和利用，以无缝地整合和调整技术人员教育，使其与NNMI努力中成熟的新技术保持一致。该项目提供了一个框架，以构建技术教育要素和简化技术教育的交付形式，同时满足行业驱动的技术能力劳动力的需求。广泛影响：这些材料利用更深入学习的组成部分，使来自各种文化和社会经济人口的学生参与进来。学生通过培养主人翁意识和责任感的过程来解决复杂的工程相关问题。项目人员与由行业利益相关者组成的行业咨询委员会(IAC)密切合作，以确定适当的内容，IAC正在提供捕捉先进制造业区域应用的想法。灵活的框架模式通过创建模块最大限度地整合到现有的课程材料中。
