HOME4TECHS - Hands On Maintenance Education for TECHnicianS

在俄亥俄州，制造业支撑着该州17%的经济。多年来，西北州立社区学院根据与其单独工作分类相关的行业实践，支持不同技能行业的项目。最近的一种趋势是将这些独立的熟练行业合并为一个多工艺维修岗位。该项目将把传统的自动化维护技术计划转变为以能力为基础的混合教学模式，并提供灵活的实验室调度选项。技术人员动手维护教育(HOME4TECHS)项目将支持教师在基于能力的教育方面的专业发展，以及开发和部署模块化在线课程。这个项目将提高制造公司对进入自动化维护领域的学生所需的知识和能力的理解。该项目还将增进对大学需要采取的步骤的了解和理解，以便将传统的大学课程和交付系统转变为雇主驱动的、基于能力的课程，通过混合学习来提供。该项目的目标是：将自动化维护课程中的3门课程重组为基于能力的课程，以便它们将与当地行业的需求保持一致。这将包括将课程的讲课部分转移到模块化的在线形式，并为3门课程的动手部分开发开放的实验室交付模式。重组授课系统将使学生和在职员工更容易获得这些课程。该项目将促使大学教职员工和制造业雇主共同努力，开发一种基于能力的混合学习模式，这种模式可以广泛传播和扩展，以促进技术劳动力的应用学习。项目成果将通过西北俄亥俄学院校长会议进行传播。将广泛提供关于从传统学习模式转向混合学习模式的有效性的研究数据。

In Ohio, manufacturing supports 17% of the state's economy. For many years Northwest State Community College supported programs on separate skilled trades based on industry practice related to their separate job classifications. A recent trend has been the combining of these separate skilled trades into a multi-craft maintenance position. This project will convert a traditional automation maintenance technology program to a competency-based, hybrid instructional model with flexible laboratory scheduling options. The Hands On Maintenance Education for Technicians (HOME4TECHS) project will support professional development for faculty on competency-based education, and the development and deployment of modular online courses. This project will advance the knowledge and understanding of competencies required by manufacturing companies for students entering the automation maintenance field. The project will also advance the knowledge and understanding of the steps a college needs to take in order to convert a traditional college curriculum and delivery system, to an employer-driven, competency-based curriculum, delivered through hybrid learning.The goals of the project are to: re-structure 3 courses in the automation maintenance curriculum to a competency-based curriculum, so that they will be aligned with the needs of the local industry. This will involve moving the lecture portion of the courses to a modular online format, and developing an open lab delivery model for the hands-on portion of the 3 courses. Restructuring the delivery system will make the courses more accessible to students and incumbent workers. The project will engage college faculty and manufacturing employers in a collaborative effort to develop a competency-based, hybrid learning model that can be widely disseminated and scaled to promote applied learning in the technical workforce. Project outcomes will be disseminated through a meeting of the Northwest Ohio College Presidents. Research data on the effectiveness of moving from the traditional learning model to the hybrid learning model will be made broadly available.
