According to the Wall Street Journal, manufacturing executives indicate that they struggle to find workers with the required skills to operate in the modern factory, despite the presence of two unemployed manufacturing workers per manufacturing job opening (Sussman, 2016), because there is a knowledge gap between traditional and current and future industry requirements due to the accelerated pace of technological advances. In collaboration with industry partners, this project at Lone Star College University Park (LSC-UP) in Texas entitled Advanced PLC, Robotics, and Networking is designed to better prepare technicians to operate and maintain modern factory machines and work in the digital plant of the future, thus enhancing the employability of graduates and developing a diverse, globally competitive science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce. Project activities will include curriculum and educational materials development, the evaluation of curriculum, and dissemination of the knowledge gained. It will assist employees as they become more employable and are trained on cutting edge industry standard equipment. This will allow future employees to enhance their personal well-being and that of their families while increasing the economic competiveness of the United States by ensuring that employee education and training keeps pace with employer demand and is aligned with industry skill needs. The knowledge obtained from this project will allow for the dissemination of industry driven curricula to transform the education and training of technicians to account for advancing technology and lead to long term enhanced technician education at the college as the courses are institutionalized through the Energy & Manufacturing Institute. The curricula will be disseminated through a paper for publication, conference presentations, and submission to the Workforce Education Course Manual (WECM), impacting the education of technicians at higher education institutions across the state and the country.To address the industry needs for a multi-skilled technician to work in the manufacturing plant of the future that will rely heavily on integrated and intelligent ecosystems that use real-time and historical data to run efficiently and safely, the college will stack computer networking courses upon their current Mechatronics Technician education and training programs. Two new Mechatronics courses will be developed to incorporate computer networking to better prepare technicians for the modern digital plant. These new networking courses will provide students with the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary to utilize the distributed control systems used to control manufacturing processes that are continuous or batch-oriented as well as the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems used for remote monitoring and control in technical workplaces. This project will advance knowledge regarding technician education and training by identifying the emerging needs of employers hiring graduates of Mechatronics programs. The curricula will be evaluated by industry partners to ascertain its compliance with the current and projected needs of the occupations supported by Mechatronics programs, such as engineering technicians, process technicians, and mechatronics technicians.

根据《华尔街日报》的报道，制造业高管表示，尽管每个制造业工作都有两名失业的制造工人，但他们仍在寻找具有在现代工厂运营所需技能的工人（Sussman，2016年），因为由于传统和当前和未来的行业需求之间存在知识差距，因此技术进步加快了技术进步的加快。在与行业合作伙伴合作的情况下，该项目在德克萨斯州的孤星大学公园（LSC-UP）题为“高级PLC，机器人技术和网络”旨在更好地准备技术人员操作和维护现代工厂机器，并在未来的数字工厂中工作，从而增强了毕业生的就业能力，从而增强了毕业生的就业能力，从而增强了竞争性的科学，技术，技术，工程学，工程学，工程学和数学技术，并开发了竞争性的科学，工程学（STEM和Mathermatics和STEM）。项目活动将包括课程和教育材料开发，课程评估以及所获得的知识的传播。当员工变得更加雇用并接受了尖端行业标准设备的培训时，它将有助于他们。这将使未来的员工通过确保员工的教育和培训能够与雇主的需求保持同步，并与行业技能需求保持一致，从而增强了他们的个人福祉和家庭的福祉和家庭的福祉。从该项目获得的知识将使行业驱动的课程传播，以改变技术人员的教育和培训，以说明技术的发展，并导致大学的长期增强技术人员的教育，因为这些课程通过能源和制造学院进行了制度化。课程将通过论文进行出版，会议演讲和提交劳动力教育课程手册（WECM）的分解，从而影响了全州和国家高等教育机构对技术人员的教育，以解决该行业的需求，以解决多技能的技术人员在未来和智能上依靠的企业中依靠的企业，以实现良好的发展，以实现良好的发展，以实现型号的运行，并依靠整体的发展效果，并将其依赖于历史悠久的企业。大学将根据其当前的机电一体化技术人员教育和培训计划堆叠计算机网络课程。将开发两种新的机电一体化课程，以合并计算机网络，以更好地为现代数字工厂准备技术人员。这些新的网络课程将为学生提供使用用于控制连续或面向批处理的制造过程的分布式控制系统所需的知识，技能和能力，以及用于远程监视和控制技术工作场所的监督控制和数据获取（SCADA）系统。该项目将通过确定雇用机电一体化计划毕业生的新兴需求来提高有关技术人员教育和培训的知识。该课程将由行业合作伙伴评估，以确定其符合机电一体化计划（例如工程技术人员，过程技术人员和机电一体化技术人员）所支持的职业的当前和预计需求。
