Completing the Curriculum: Modular Manufacturing Education Model for Advanced Manufacturing Education

该项目旨在培养一支高技能、技术能力强的劳动力队伍，以满足当地、地区、国家和全球经济对技术、通信和团队合作的要求。目标是完成1995年开始的课程的最后39个单元，这将是制造工程技术应用科学助理学位的示范模块课程。模块化结构的优势是，学生在学习技术技能的同时，从实践经验、解决问题、使用沟通技能和练习团队合作中受益。活动的重点是在九个集群领域创建和试点测试模块--科学；数学；人文、交流和团队合作；以及六个面向制造业的集群。为了开发模块并接触到目标受众，位于俄亥俄州代顿市的两年制公立学院辛克莱社区学院正在与代顿大学合作，代顿大学是一家私立的四年制机构。

This project addresses the need to produce a highly skilled, technically competent workforce to meet the technological, communication, and teamwork requirements that local, regional, national, and global economies are demanding. The objective is to complete the final 39 modules of a curriculum begun in 1995 that will be a model modularized curriculum for the Associate in Applied Science degree in Manufacturing Engineering Technology. The advantage of the modular structure is that students benefit from learning by hands-on experience, solving problems, using communication skills, and practicing teamwork as they learn technical skills. Activities focus on creating and pilot testing modules in nine cluster areas-Science; Math; Humanities, Communication, and Teamwork; and six manufacturing oriented clusters. To develop the modules and reach the target audiences, Sinclair Community College, a public two-year college in Dayton, Ohio, is partnering with the University of Dayton, a private, four-year institution.
