A Fully Integrated Corporate Experience-Based Manufacturing Education Strategy

这项计划拨款将资助辛辛那提大学系级制造业项目的改革。 这种方法是把学生放在一个虚拟的企业环境中，课程与工作职能挂钩，课程成为一种工作轮换的形式，让学生接触传统理论，并与实际应用联系起来。中心假设和拟议的活动是，一个虚拟制造公司可以统一和激励课程，激励学生和教师学习，提供一个机制，解决行业的需求和需要，并可以销售给K-12学生和教师。目标是重组整个制造业课程，使其能够映射到一个由基于信息技术的集成支持的虚拟企业结构中机制将建立一个企业监督小组，沿着一个负责收集和整合企业和K-12建议和反馈的小组，利用现有的合作计划。最后，评估和责任指导方针将沿着活动一起制定，以使其他教员为战略的实施做好准备。

This planning grant will fund department level reform the manufacturing program at the University of Cincinnati. The approach is to place students in a virtual corporate setting, where classes are linked to job functions and the curriculum becomes a form of job rotation exposing students to traditional theory with links to practical applications. The central hypothesis and of the proposed activities is that a virtual manufacturing corporation can unify and energize the curricula motivating students and faculty to learn, provide a mechanism for addressing industry wants and needs, and can be marketed to K-12 students and teachers.In this planning project, the goal is to restructure the entire manufacturing curriculum sothat it can be mapped into a virtual corporate structure supported by an information technologybased integration mechanism. A corporate oversight panel will be established, along with aframework for eliciting and integrating corporate and K-12 suggestions and feedback, takingadvantage of the existing Co-Op program. Finally, evaluation and accountability guidelines willbe developed along with activities to prepare other faculty members for strategy implementation.
