Integrated, Application-Based Curriculum in Adv Mfg

在先进制造（IACAM）项目的应用为基础的课程准备学生与集成制造技能，使他们能够满足21世纪世纪工作场所的能力要求。该项目正在开发一个综合制造技术员课程模型，创建一个“真实世界”的制造环境学习实验室，通过与中学教师和指导顾问的指导机会，为大学教师提供发展机会，他们共同努力，更好地了解制造技术员的需求。该课程模式以学生为中心的计划为特色，该计划招募，保留和促进计划完成，并跟踪和测量入学，完成和安置数据。学生通过完成课程，完成证书，获得副学士学位，并实现转入学士学位课程的选择，通过他们的教育途径前进。在课程中，学生开始学习执行复杂任务的专用机器;电力作为单一最大的电力供应商的作用;以及控制，收集，处理，分发和存储有关机器和过程的关键信息。自动化的作用是通过可编程逻辑控制器，计算机网络系统和机器人的集成来教授的。通过综合，应用项目为基础的和现实生活中的知识和经验的雇主和教师促进这些技能的教学。知识价值植根于课程的全面性和综合性，即将所有利益攸关方聚集在一起。 项目材料和成果，包括学生的学习成果，正在通过州和国家会议上的演讲，通过学院网站，并通过主流媒体广告传播。更广泛的影响体现在传播工作和对劳动力的适当培训上。

The Application-Based Curriculum in Advanced Manufacturing (IACAM) project prepares students with integrated-manufacturing skills and enables them to meet 21st century workplace competency requirements. The project is developing an Integrated Manufacturing Technician curriculum model, creating a 'real-world' manufacturing-environment learning-lab, to provide development opportunities for college faculty through mentoring opportunities with secondary school teachers and guidance counselors who are working together to gain a better understanding of manufacturing technician needs. The curriculum model features a student-centered program, which recruits, retains, and facilitates program completion, and tracks and measures enrollment, completion, and placement data. Students are advancing through their educational pathways by finishing courses, completing certificates, earning associate degrees, and achieving a transfer option into a bachelor's degree program. Within the curriculum, students begin by studying specialized machines performing complex tasks; electricity's role as the single largest provider of power; and controlling, collecting, processing, distributing and storing critical information about machines and processes. The automation's role is taught through integrating of Programmable Logic Controllers, computer networking systems, and robots. Teaching these skills is facilitated through integrated, applied projects-based and real-life knowledge and experience of employers and faculty. Intellectual merits are rooted in the comprehensive and integrated nature of the curriculum that is to bring all stakeholders together. Project materials and results, including student learning outcomes, are being disseminated through presentations at state and national conferences, through the College website, and through mainstream media advertising. Broader impacts are evidenced in the dissemination efforts and appropriate training of the workforce.
