Technologies involving robotics/automation have become prevalent in US manufacturing and service sectors. Business leaders who adopt these technologies must prioritize cybersecurity to ensure the safety and security of their cyber-physical systems. As a result, the interrelated areas of robotics/automation and cybersecurity are vital to US manufacturers. This project will create an Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Coordination Network that includes community colleges with active ATE projects, Manufacturing Extension Partnerships, Manufacturing USA Institutes, and the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education. The goal of this Coordination Network is to increase members’ understanding of the knowledge and skills required to operate and maintain connected machines securely in a manufacturing setting.Through workshops, virtual communication, and other modalities, this Coordination Network intends to facilitate the sharing of best practices about how to develop community college students’ knowledge and skills in robotics/automation and cybersecurity. It will also promote awareness of organizations and resources that connect students to work-based learning opportunities. This Coordination Network will connect community college students to potential employers in the Manufacturing Extension Parternships client base. By establishing connections and nurturing relationships among members, it is expected that the efforts of the Coordination Network will create synergies that magnify and broaden the impact of individual efforts. The Coordination Network's web portal will make education and training materials available to non-members. 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.

涉及机器人/自动化的技术已在美国制造业和服务业中普及。 采用这些技术的企业领导者必须优先考虑网络安全，以确保其网络物理系统的安全性。 因此，机器人/自动化和网络安全等相互关联的领域对美国制造商至关重要。 该项目将创建一个先进技术教育（ATE）协调网络，其中包括具有活跃ATE项目的社区学院，制造业扩展合作伙伴关系，美国制造业研究所和国家网络安全教育倡议。 该协调网络的目标是提高成员对在制造环境中安全操作和维护连接机器所需的知识和技能的理解，通过研讨会，虚拟交流和其他方式，该协调网络旨在促进分享关于如何培养社区大学生在机器人/自动化和网络安全方面的知识和技能的最佳实践。 它还将促进对将学生与基于工作的学习机会联系起来的组织和资源的认识。这个协调网络将连接社区大学的学生在制造业推广伙伴关系的客户群的潜在雇主。 通过在成员之间建立联系和培养关系，预计协调网的努力将产生协同作用，扩大和扩大个别努力的影响。 协调网络的门户网站将向非成员提供教育和培训材料。 该项目由先进技术教育计划资助，该计划侧重于为推动国家经济的先进技术领域培养技术人员。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影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
