Development of Articulated Competency-Based Curriculum in Computer Integrated Manufacturing Technology. Final Report.
Luzerne County Community Coll., Nanticoke, PA.
A project was conducted at the Community College of Luzerne County (Pennsylvania) to develop, in cooperation with area vocational-technical schools, the first year of a competency-based curriculum in computer-integrated manufacturing. Existing programs were reviewed and private sector input was sought in developing the curriculum and identifying needed equipment and facilities. The curriculum developed by the task force is included in this document, presented in three sections. The first section covers general business/industry trends; computer-integrated manufacturing/computer-aided manufacturing technology programs; program competencies; course competencies for technical drafting, manufacturing processes, computer-assisted drafting, and industrial safety; articulation; and a proposed second-year course listing. The second section of the curriculum lists educational specifications for the various courses, and the last section lists equipment specifications. Appendixes to the report list the task force members, describe the literature search, and provide a task listing with manufacturers' ratings of their relative importance. Sample task force letters complete the report. (KC)
