Robotics Corridor Phase II

该项目正在宾夕法尼亚州形成广泛的合作伙伴关系，为稳步发展的机器人产业培养一支受过技术培训的劳动力队伍。项目是：1；在宾夕法尼亚社区学院系统中增加机器人证书课程和机器人工程技术副学士学位课程，并通过衔接协议获得学士学位，旨在支持全州的先进制造业和机器人产业；2 .为高中和大学教师提供先进的机器人系统技术培训；3 .实施“大学进高中”，使高中生在电子学、参数化实体建模、程序设计、机器人工程等方面获得大学学分；4 .向具备入门级工作准备的工人颁发机器人技术人员证书；提高高中教师素质，提高技术教育、工程技术、工程本科学生素质and6。评估机器人走廊项目对学生和教师数学能力增长的影响，这是当今技术人员的关键技能。亨氏基金会是该项目的主要贡献者，该项目影响了大约10名大学教师、300名高中教师、1000名本科生和6000名高中生。

This project is forming a broadly-based partnership in Pennsylvania to grow a technically trained workforce for a steadily expanding robotics industry. The project is:1. Adding a Robotics Certificate program and a Robotics Engineering Technology Associate Degree program to the Pennsylvania Community College system with articulation agreements that lead to a baccalaureate degree designed to support advanced manufacturing and robotics industry statewide;2. Providing advanced technical training to high school and college faculty in robotics systems;3. Implementing "college in the high school programs" enabling high school students to receive college credits in electronics, parametric solid modeling, programming, and robotics engineering;4. Offering a Robotics Technician Certificate to workers demonstrating entry level job readiness;5. Improving the quality of students pursuing Technology Education, Engineering Technology, and Engineering undergraduate degrees by improving high school teacher competency; and6. Assessing the impact the Robotics Corridor Project has on growth of students' and teachers' mathematical competency, a skill critical to technicians today.The Heinz Foundation is a major contributor to the project, which is impacting about 10 college faculty, 300 high school teachers, 1,000 undergraduate students, and 6,000 high school students.
