Missouri State University - West Plains will develop new advanced manufacturing curricula to address the workforce shortage in middle-skill industrial maintenance technicians. With a focus on advanced industrial maintenance, manufacturing, and alternative energy, the curriculum redesign will use stackable courses and a combination of project-based learning, hands-on computer simulations, and real laboratory environments to model the industrial workplace. Internships and registered apprenticeship opportunities with industry partners will build students' workforce readiness. The project will incorporate portions of the Greater Ozarks Center for Advanced Technology Fab Lab, the educational outreach component of the Massachusetts Institute for Technology's Center for Bits and Atoms, to engage a diverse group of students and interface with the community. Collectively, these activities will fill the gap for middle-skilled workers in the Industry 4.0 environment, which encompasses the computerization of manufacturing. The project will meet the regional need for qualified middle-skill advanced industrial maintenance and manufacturing technicians, and increase the enrollment in the technology certificates and associate of applied science in technology degree. The intellectual merit of Worker 4.0 includes adapting and adopting the Festo Industry 4.0 Certification Program (FI4.0CP), an industry recognized credential, into current technology courses, developing a new Advanced Industrial Maintenance Option in the A.A.S. in Technology degree, and developing a certificate that focuses on Advanced Industrial Maintenance. This includes creating three new courses: Introduction to Industry 4.0, Industrial Controls and Troubleshooting, and Programmable Logic Controllers and Sensors. Upon completion of the Advanced Industrial Maintenance Option in the A.A.S. in Technology degree or the Certification in Advanced Industrial Maintenance, the students will be prepared to complete the FI4.0CP Level 1: Fundamentals certification exam. Additionally, certified students will be able to continue their education with stackable FI4.0CP Level 2 and Level 3 courses and certifications. The broader impacts of Worker 4.0 include the dissemination of the curricular materials specifically developed for middle-skilled technicians in the next wave of an industrial transformation.This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the nation's economy.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.

密苏里州立大学西平原分校将开发新的先进制造课程，以解决中等技能工业维护技术人员的劳动力短缺问题。课程重新设计的重点是先进的工业维护、制造和替代能源，将使用可堆叠的课程，并结合基于项目的学习、计算机模拟实践和真实的实验室环境来模拟工业工作场所。与行业合作伙伴的实习和注册学徒机会将帮助学生做好劳动力准备。该项目将纳入大奥沙克先进技术制造实验室中心的部分内容，该实验室是麻省理工学院比特和原子中心的教育外展部分，旨在吸引不同的学生群体并与社区互动。总的来说，这些活动将填补工业 4.0 环境（包括制造业的计算机化）中中等技能工人的缺口。该项目将满足该地区对合格的中级高级工业维修和制造技术人员的需求，并增加技术证书和应用科学技术副学士学位的招生人数。 Worker 4.0 的智力优势包括将 Festo 工业 4.0 认证计划 (FI4.0CP)（一种行业认可的证书）调整并采用到当前的技术课程中，在 A.A.S. 中开发新的高级工业维护选项。技术学位，并开发专注于高级工业维护的证书。其中包括创建三门新课程：工业 4.0 简介、工业控制和故障排除以及可编程逻辑控制器和传感器。完成 A.A.S. 的高级工业维护选项后在技​​术学位或高级工业维护认证中，学生将准备完成 FI4.0CP 1 级：基础认证考试。此外，获得认证的学生将能够通过可叠加的 FI4.0CP 2 级和 3 级课程和认证继续接受教育。 Worker 4.0 更广泛的影响包括传播专门为下一波工业转型中的中等技能技术人员开发的课程材料。该项目由先进技术教育计划资助，该计划重点关注推动国家经济发展的先进技术领域的技术人员教育。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和更广泛的评估进行评估，认为值得支持。 影响审查标准。
