Waterjet Cutting Technology for Machine Tool Technicians

水射流技术项目正在为机床技术员和制造业的其他项目开发最先进的水射流切割工艺的有效培训计划。在过去的十年中，水射流工艺在设计和功能上经历了许多改进，其在行业中的使用也迅速加快，因此它正迅速成为世界各地机械车间的标准工具。该项目的活动包括开发教师专业知识、获取设备和资源以建设培训能力、确定能力并开发课程组成部分以教授水射流技术技能。此外，该项目还为整个地区的大学教职员工、中级教师和学生、行业代表和在职工人提供培训机会和信息丰富的研讨会。该项目确定了水射流技术的能力，并制定了有效培训的课程。新开发的课程内容在整个全州社区和技术学院系统中得到采用，并向更多的受众传播。该项目提供的培训增加了毕业生的就业机会，并扩大了区域企业的机会。

The Waterjet Technology project is developing an effective training program in state-of-the-art waterjet cutting processes for machine tool technicians and other programs in manufacturing. Waterjet processes have experienced many improvements in design and function during the last decade, and its industry usage has accelerated rapidly so that it is quickly becoming a standard tool in machine shops around the world. The project's activities consist of developing faculty expertise, acquiring equipment and resources to build training capacity, identifying competencies and developing curriculum components to teach skills in waterjet technology. In addition, the project provides training opportunities and informative seminars to college faculty members, secondary-level teachers and students throughout the region, industry representatives and incumbent workers. The project identifies competencies and develops curricula for effective training in waterjet technology. Newly developed curriculum components are adopted throughout the statewide community and technical college system, and are disseminated to a larger audience. The training provided by this project enhances job opportunities for graduates and expands opportunities for regional businesses.
