A nationwide shortage of qualified manufacturing technicians and the demand for training that keeps pace with rapidly changing technology has driven collaboration between education and industry partners. To fill the need for qualified manufacturing technicians, Northwest State Community College (NSCC) will work with industries to improve a competency-based advanced manufacturing program and promote its broader adoption. NSCC plans wide-spread implementation of its instructional model through a Networked Improvement Community (NIC) of partner colleges and their local industries across four states: Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and North Carolina. Through mentorship, professional development, and focused cooperation, this project will improve the effectiveness of advanced manufacturing courses, increase access to technical education programs, and prepare technicians with the skillsets that employers require. On a broad scale, this project will promote diversity by increasing opportunities for underserved populations to pursue high-demand, family-sustaining occupations in the technical workforce.The goals of this project are to: provide a more accessible method of instruction, remove barriers for existing and potential college students, align students' skills attainment with workplace demands, and increase the knowledge of implementing a competency-based hybrid instructional model for advanced manufacturing courses. NSCC will demonstrate the process of converting two traditional courses to the new model, and partner colleges in the NIC will determine which elements of the model are best suited to adapt within their programs. NSCC will then work with the partners to incorporate the model into specific courses. In addition, NSCC will administer nine, two-day professional development workshops for technical faculty from additional colleges in the state-wide networks of the NIC partners, with the potential to impact ninety colleges. NSCC will continue to mentor faculty on scaling elements of the model into programs at their institutions and will provide assistance with implementation efforts.This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the nation's economy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在全国范围内缺乏合格的制造技术人员以及对培训的需求，使培训保持与迅速变化的技术的步伐，这导致教育与行业合作伙伴之间的合作。为了满足合格制造技术人员的需求，西北州立社区学院（NSCC）将与行业合作，以改善基于能力的高级制造计划并促进其更广泛的采用。 NSCC计划通过合作学院及其四个州的当地行业的网络改进社区（NIC）广泛实施其教学模型：俄亥俄州，密歇根州，印第安纳州和北卡罗来纳州。通过指导，专业发展和集中的合作，该项目将提高先进制造课程的有效性，增加对技术教育计划的访问，并为技术人员提供雇主所需的技能。在广泛的范围内，该项目将通过增加服务不足的人口来追求高需求，家庭维持的职业的机会来促进多样性。该项目的目标是：提供更容易获得的教学方法，删除现有和潜在的大学生的障碍，为实施竞争力的工业型培训与实施高级型号的知识相结合，并提高实施型号的知识，并提高实施型号的知识。 NSCC将展示将两个传统课程转换为新模型的过程，而NIC中的合作伙伴大学将确定该模型的哪些要素最适合适应其计划。然后，NSCC将与合作伙伴合作，将模型纳入特定课程。此外，NSCC还将为NIC合作伙伴全州网络的其他学院的技术教师提供9天，为期两天的专业发展研讨会，并有可能影响90所大学。 NSCC将继续指导教师将模型的要素扩展到其机构中的计划，并将为实施工作提供帮助。该项目由高级技术教育计划提供资金，该计划的重点是高级技术领域的技术人员教育，这些领域的技术人员教育驱动了国家经济的促进NSF的法定任务和审查局面的范围，该奖项通过评估范围及其范围的范围来表现出来的范围。
