Leadership Capacity Building for Manufacturing and Manufacturing-related Programs

辛克莱社区学院及其教育和行业合作伙伴正在开展这个项目，以培养社区学院和高中教师在制造业和制造业相关课程中的领导能力。智力优势：该项目基于最新的教学和学习研究，以及美国社区大学制造技术课程所遇到的问题，以及制造工程师协会（SME）的研究。该项目在制造业知识的四大支柱框架内考虑到制造业知识的快速变化：材料和工艺；产品、模具及装配；系统和操作员；和竞争力。项目活动包括：1)为三组教学领导提供全面的100小时领导能力建设课程；2)开展以制造业职业为重点的扩大大学预科推广活动；3)向专上教师和高中教师传播信息和资源。更广泛的影响：该项目有可能对先进制造业下一代劳动力的培养产生重大影响。它正在准备80名与制造业相关的教育工作者，以领导他们的制造业课程，与制造工程师协会批准的制造业教育标准保持一致。参与者代表了30所院校（20所提供两年制学位的院校和另外10所中等院校），该项目每年将影响约1000名攻读两年制制造业相关学位的学生和约500名大学预科生。

Sinclair Community College along with its educational and industry partners, is conducting this project to build leadership capacity for faculty in manufacturing and manufacturing-related programs at community colleges and high schools. Intellectual Merit: The project is based on up-to-date research on teaching and learning, and the problems experienced by US community college manufacturing technology programs, as well as studies by Society for Manufacturing engineers (SME). The project takes into consideration the rapid knowledge change in the manufacturing sector within the framework of the Four Pillars of Manufacturing Knowledge: Materials and Processes; Product, Tooling and Assembly; System and Operators; and Competitiveness. Project activities include: 1) providing a comprehensive 100-hour leadership capacity building program for three cohorts of instructional leaders; 2) conducting expanded pre-college outreach focused on manufacturing careers; 3) disseminating information and resources to postsecondary faculty members and high school teachers. Broader Impacts: The project has the potential to have a significant impact on the preparation of the next generation workforce in advanced manufacturing. It is preparing 80 manufacturing related educators to lead their manufacturing curriculum aligned with the Society for Manufacturing Engineers approved manufacturing education standards. The participants represent 30 institutions (20 two-year degree offering institutions and an additional 10 secondary institutions) and the program is affecting an estimated 1,000 students seeking two-year manufacturing related degrees and an estimated 500 pre-college students per year.
