Additive manufacturing (AM) is rapidly changing the design and production of all kinds of products, from those used in daily life to critical parts utilized in advanced technologies. With the increased national and global focus, there is clear evidence of the growing demand for technicians in AM. The Additive Manufacturing Workforce Advancement Training Coalition and Hub (AM-WATCH) is being established to address gaps in the knowledge base of 21st century technicians to ensure they are prepared for advanced career placement. This project is significantly enhancing and expanding AM resources developed by prior NSF projects (including remote facilities, learning curriculum, and educator workshops) to encompass hands-on desktop 3D printer-building modules, equipment operation/maintenance curriculum, and additional remotely-accessible equipment laboratories. In addition, AM-WATCH is establishing a number of cutting edge AM innovations and targeting the engagement of students, including those in underserved and under-represented groups, in STEM and other technical careers. The objective of AM-WATCH is to address gaps in the current knowledge base of technicians through the development of curriculum and educational materials, delivery of professional development activities, support provided to 30+ community college and high school instructors per year, and expanded outreach activities targeting K-12 and community college teachers and students. Tennessee Technological University is collaborating with Community Colleges (CC), four-year universities, the ATE National Resource Center for Materials Technology Education, a national laboratory, industry, and government in the development of cutting-edge and multi-dimensional curriculum, activities, and toolkits for instructors.

增材制造（AM）正在迅速改变各种产品的设计和生产，从日常生活中使用的产品到先进技术中使用的关键部件。随着国家和全球关注的增加，有明显的证据表明，对AM技术人员的需求不断增长。正在建立增材制造劳动力发展培训联盟和中心（AM-WATCH），以解决21世纪世纪技术人员知识基础的差距，以确保他们为高级职业生涯做好准备。该项目显著增强和扩展了先前NSF项目开发的AM资源（包括远程设施，学习课程和教育工作者研讨会），以涵盖动手桌面3D打印机构建模块，设备操作/维护课程和其他远程访问设备实验室。此外，AM-WATCH正在建立一些尖端的AM创新，并针对学生的参与，包括那些服务不足和代表性不足的群体，在STEM和其他技术职业中。AM-WATCH的目标是通过制定课程和教材，提供专业发展活动，每年向30多名社区大学和高中教师提供支持，以及扩大针对K-12和社区大学教师和学生的外联活动，解决技术人员目前知识基础的差距。田纳西理工大学正在与社区学院（CC），四年制大学，ATE国家材料技术教育资源中心，国家实验室，行业和政府合作，为教师开发尖端和多维的课程，活动和工具包。
