Collaborative Research: A Workshop Proposal for Shared Teaching Materials for Advanced Manufacturing

从计算机驱动的数字模型制造三维产品已经在多个领域得到广泛应用。这些增材制造技术提供了以可承受的价格制造产品的可能性，并已用于制造定制的复杂物品。北卡罗来纳州州立大学与爱荷华州州立大学合作，正在申请资助一个名为“先进制造共享教材研讨会提案“的合作研讨会提案。该提案的目标是举办一系列组织良好、有影响力的研讨会，以促进创建一个最先进课程材料的中央存储库，以促进先进制造教育材料的创作、评估和传播。PI以前开发了可定制的教学材料，并与同事分享。 这些材料将用作储存库的基础。 每个研讨会的计划是召集参与制造的工程师、技术人员和教师，讨论这些材料的使用和采用。 研讨会的目的是：1）批评拟议的“有机材料”概念; 2）获得制造业社区的支持; 3）确定早期采用者和开发人员，以帮助制定未来的合作IUSE提案。每个研讨会的持续时间大约为半天，其中一个研讨会将与专业制造会议在同一地点举行。该项目侧重于开发最先进的课程材料，与IUSE E& D计划在学生学习轨道中的目标保持一致。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值进行评估，被认为值得支持和更广泛的影响审查标准。

The manufacturing of three‐dimensional products from computer‐driven digital models has found extensive applications in several fields. These additive manufacturing technologies offer the possibility to fabricate products at affordable prices and have been employed to make customized, complex items. North Carolina State University in collaboration with Iowa State University is requesting funding for a collaborative workshop proposal titled "A Workshop Proposal for Shared Teaching Materials for Advanced Manufacturing ". The goal of the proposal is to run a series of well organized, impactful workshops to catalyze the creation of a central repository for state-of-the-art curricular materials that will facilitate authoring, evaluating and disseminating materials for advanced manufacturing education. The PIs have previously developed customizable teaching materials and shared them with colleagues. These materials will be used as the basis for the repository. The plan for each workshop is to assemble groups of engineers, technologists and faculty involved in manufacturing to discuss the use and adoption of these materials. The workshops are intended to 1) critique the proposed "organic materials" concept; 2) obtain buy-in from the manufacturing community; and 3) identify early adopters and developers to help develop a future collaborative IUSE proposal. The duration of each workshop, one of which will be co-located with a professional manufacturing meeting, will be approximately half a day.The project focus on the development of state-of-the-art curricular materials aligns well with the goals of the IUSE E&D program in the Engaged Student Learning track.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
