Digital Imaging Laboratory Development Program

位于哈林根的德克萨斯州立技术学院建议开发一项数字成像技术计划，为学生提供新兴数字成像技术领域的专业技能和培训。爆炸性的新数字成像技术正在戏剧性地改变图形艺术/电子成像行业。尽管这项技术今天已经存在，但由于缺乏数字成像及其好处方面的知识和人员培训不足，全国各地的工作场所跟上新出现的方法的能力受到了阻碍。该项目建议开发数字成像课程，并重点创建一个前沿的数字成像实验室/工作室，以促进非传统学习方法的使用，鼓励学生和教师之间的互动学习、团队建设和创造性问题解决。该项目的其他关键组成部分包括与中学学习机构的广泛合作努力、技术准备/学校工作倡议以及地区、州和全国性行业。该项目服务的人群包括德克萨斯州里奥格兰德山谷的学生--这是一个以西班牙裔为主的人口聚集区。将利用远程学习技术为该州偏远地区注重艺术和技术的高中生提供机会，他们可以在职业发展过程的早期从这种培训中受益。

Texas State Technical College at Harlingen proposes the development of a Digital Imaging Technology Program to provide specialized skills and training to students in the emerging field of digital imaging technology. Explosive new digital imaging technologies are dramatically changing the graphic arts/electronic imaging industry. Although the technology is here today, the ability of work sites across the country to keep up with newly emerging methods has been impeded by lack of knowledge and inadequate training of personnel in digital imaging and its benefits. This project proposes the development of digital imaging curriculum and focuses on the creation of a leading edge digital imaging laboratory/studio to facilitate the use of nontraditional learning approaches that encourage interactive learning, team building, and creative problem solving among students and instructors. Other key components of the project include extensive collaborative efforts with secondary learning institutions, the Tech Prep/School to Work Initiative, and regional, state and national industries. The population to be served by the project includes students in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas--a predominantly Hispanic populated area. Distance learning techniques will be used to provide access to artistically and technically oriented high school students in remote areas of the state who can benefit from such training early in their career development process.
