Technology Conference

July 2017

Following the Advanced Manufacturing Forum, this 5-day event was held for faculty to envision the incorporation of identified skills and competencies into the curriculum. Over 60 college and secondary school education partners met to review and develop curriculum, to provide input on applications, to conduct presentations on applications and equipment needs, and to participate in outcome assessments.

After this conference, faculty worked to update curricula and align texts, including detailing pre-requisite pathways, and to add firm continuity between secondary, two-year and four-year educational partners.
