A Model for Technical Training in the Pulp and Paper and Chemical Process Industries

这个项目是由阿拉巴马南部社区学院(阿拉巴马南部)、林业、造纸和化学技术卓越中心(卓越中心)、奥本大学化学工程系和奥本大学纸浆和造纸研究教育中心(奥本大学)共同努力的结果。该项目的目标是开发一个响应行业的纸浆、造纸和化学品工艺培训课程，重点放在1)化学和工艺实验室和2)基于行业的学生体验。该项目整合了南阿拉巴马州提供的四个技术副学士学位课程的组成部分：(1)造纸和化学技术，(2)电气技术，(3)电子和仪器，以及(4)工业维护。该中心还通过向全国各地的技术人员和操作员提供项目教育模块，促进了项目教学材料的使用，以促进劳动力的持续发展。

This project represents a collaborative effort by Alabama Southern Community College (Alabama Southern), the Center for Excellence in Forestry, Paper, and Chemical Technology (Center for Excellence), the Chemical Engineering Department of Auburn University, and the Pulp and Paper Research Education Center at Auburn University (Auburn University). The goal of the project is to develop an industry-responsive pulp and paper and chemicals process training curriculum focused on 1) chemistry and processes laboratories and 2) industry-based student experiences. The project integrates components from four associate degree programs in technology offered by Alabama Southern: (1) Paper and Chemical Technologies, (2) Electrical Technology, (3) Electronics and Instrumentation, and (4) Industrial Maintenance. The Center also facilitates use of project instructional materials for continuing work force development by making project educational modules available to the technicians and operators throughout the nation.
