AB  - In response to a nationwide call to keep manufacturing in step with rapid technological change, in this NSF Grantees Poster Session, we will share findings to-date from a three-year Advancing Technological Education Targeted Research project to empirically document school-to-career pathways enabled by the advanced manufacturing (AM) programs at rural community colleges in Northwest Florida.  Guided by the overarching research question “To what extent do curriculum content, employer needs, and student experiences align within an advanced manufacturing educational pathway,” we will share: 1) our foundational work analyzing industry and governmental policy documents relating to definitions of, competency models for, and prior applied research in AM; 2) the model we created to inform, develop, and refine an advanced manufacturing body of knowledge; 3) the results of in-depth interviews and focus groups conducted with key stakeholders; 4) the text-mining approaches we used to assess the alignment between the Florida Department of Education Advanced Manufacturing (AM) Curriculum Framework, two-year AM curricula, new professional interviews, faculty interviews, and employer interviews; and 5) preliminary results of AM syllabi analyses and data integration.  This collaborative research aligns the efforts of educators directly to the needs of employers and new professionals, and provides strategies for improving workforce readiness 2-year CTE programs, informing postsecondary educational policy, and boosting regional economic development.  The project is centered in a representative highly diverse rural locale in which faculty, workforce policymakers, employers, and new professionals directly benefit from evidence-based methods to build regional capacity for the AM workforce through employment and economic development.
