The Development and Field Test of a Remote Laboratory and Web-Based Learning Modules for Wind Turbine Technician Training

项目内容为：1)开发并现场测试风电技术人员培训材料、仿真模块和配套的风电技术远程实验室。多媒体学习材料应符合业界标准，并可透过互联网提供，以补充和补充现行课程；2)将开发的材料、模块和远程实验室整合到为期两年的高校风电技术项目中，以三所社区学院作为评估地点，维持风电领域的劳动力发展；3)通过NSF/ATE国家制造教育中心、国家工程技术教育交流中心和ATE电视在全国范围内传播材料、模块和远程实验室。拟议为两年制学院教员举办的专业发展讲习班将提供一个额外的传播渠道。共同负责人将确定针对北伊利诺伊地区弱势群体的技术人员项目，并亲自向这些项目的教师进行介绍，旨在使他们意识到这些模块的潜在用途。

The project is: 1) To develop and field test wind turbine technician training materials, simulation modules, and a supporting remote laboratory for wind turbine technology. Multimedia learning materials are to be aligned with industry standards and deliverable via the Internet to supplement and complement the current curriculum; 2) To integrate the developed materials, modules, and the remote laboratory into two-year college wind technology programs to sustain workforce development in the field of wind power, with three community colleges as evaluation sites; and 3) To disseminate the materials, modules, and the remote laboratory nationwide via the NSF/ATE National Center for Manufacturing Education, the National Engineering Technology Education Clearinghouse, and ATE TV. The proposed professional development workshops for two-year college faculty members are to provide an additional channel for dissemination.The co-PI will identify technician programs aimed at or serving under-represented populations in the Northern Illinois area and make in-person presentations to the faculty of these programs aimed at making them aware of the potential uses of the modules.
