Advanced Aerospace Manufacturing Education Project

该项目正在开发课程单元，为航空航天工业的制造技术从业人员做好准备，并增加对航空航天制造业工作感兴趣的候选人的人数。该项目通过适当的知识和技能组合，结合以航空航天为中心的实例和背景，确定并解决满足航空航天工业对先进制造技术人员需求所需的不断变化的技能组合。正在编制课程单元，供两年制学院用于学生教育，并供工业界用于雇员的内部培训。该项目的成果正在通过航空航天自动化联盟、出版物、会议和制造工程师协会的博览会等一系列广泛的渠道传播，并通过学术期刊和会议记录进行介绍。

This project is developing curricula modules to prepare manufacturing technology practitioners for the aerospace industry and increase the number of interested candidates for aerospace manufacturing jobs. The project identifies and addresses the changing skill sets required to meet the needs of the aerospace industry for advanced manufacturing technicians through the appropriate knowledge and skill sets coupled with aerospace centric examples and context. Curricula modules are being developed and used by two-year colleges for student education and by industry for in-house training of employees. The project results are being disseminated through a broad set of venues such as the Aerospace Automation Consortium, publications, conferences, and expositions of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, and presented through academic journals and conference proceedings.
