The View from Oregon

The Biggest Changes Time Compression Distance Compression Respond quickly before the competition dominates a new market. Distance Compression The whole world has become a potential source for supply and competition. Trade and Industry Development 2013

Traditional Manufacturing vs. Advanced Manufacturing Mass production Unskilled and semi skilled labor Focus on floor space Investment in production Highway and rail access Traditional craft skills Customization Semi skilled and technically skilled labor Focus on IT and infrastructure Investment in R&D Global supply chain access High tech skills

Manufacturers Need Our Help “Prepare students for success in the workplace- teach them how to Solve Problems with People.” OMEP Presentation - 2017

“Talk among yourselves…” Things to discuss- What does this mean for high school manufacturing programs? What should a manufacturing program look like?

Advanced Manufacturing – A Proposal

Key Characteristics Aligned to the future of Oregon Manufacturing. Defined core sequence. Incorporated workplace skills. Not dependent on certain materials. Simulated work-based learning.

Solving Problems Design Digital Technology Production

Solving Problems- Specifics Production Set up a production process Meet customer needs Improve efficiency of production

People Professional Health and Safety Academic

People - Specifics Teamwork Problem Solving Critical Thinking Professional Teamwork Problem Solving Critical Thinking Planning and Prioritizing Willingness to Work

Course Sequence Manufacturing 1 Manufacturing 2 Manufacturing 3 BASIC SKILLS Focus is on using basic tools for design, layout, and production. Manual processes are emphasized as well as 2D design Manufacturing 2 ADVANCED SKILLS Focus is on building existing skills with development of 3D design and technology enhanced processes such as CNC. Manufacturing 3 PRODUCTION Focus is on design and production of products that require integration of skills. The goal is to simulate a production facility.

Advanced Manufacturing Course Flow

Manufacturing 1 Projects often teacher-generated Work off of existing drawings Focus on specific production skills Students generate improvements on original design

Manufacturing 2 Class of project chosen by teacher. Students work in teams to produce a design Team production on specific timeline and budget Integrated skills Example – CTE Online

Manufacturing 3: Examples from the Field Creating student-run companies Student generated (Shark Tank) Community generated (Made in Gaston) Coproduction with a partner (Building Trailers) Community service (Holiday Toys) Ongoing business (Garden Benches) Others?

Some Key Features Student input Identified customer Accountability Skill integration Workplace skills

Beyond the Core Connections to Community Colleges. Industry Recognized Credentials. Career guidance. Updated facilities and equipment. Equitable access.
