  1. NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURINGAn Outlook for Southern New EnglandMay 20, 2005 www.nextgenmfg.org

  2. Implemented in 1995 by State legislation Public Act 92-126 Pathway Program in Engineering and Technology between all 12 public community colleges, six universities and secondary High Schools Curriculum Pathways include traditional engineering, engineering technology, and technical education teacher preparation. System to System articulation with Regional Technical High Schools (17) Partnerships with Business and Industry Partnerships with Government Agencies CT College of Technology2 + 2 + 2

  3. Learner centered Inexpensive Agile, responsive Accessible to diverse and under represented populations Geographically distributed Evening and Weekend programs Network of facilities including learning centers Avenue to national dissemination Why Community Colleges? Our Characteristics

  4. CT Community Colleges

  5. 45,743 STUDENTS enrolled in CT 12 public Community Colleges 65.5% are part-time Minority Enrollment represents 31.5% of student body (27.9% black and hispanic) Females compose 69.2% Average age is 28 for full time students and 32 for part time; Full time enrollment has increased by 7.9% 40.8% are under 22 (7.3% increase from 2000) COMMUNITY COLLEGE STATISTICS, FALL 2004 ENROLLMENT REPORT

  6. Build on COT Infrastructure and previous NSF grants NSF funded ATE grant $3 mil workforce development Directed by CT College of Technology Community college system; 6 Universities & Colleges UCONN; CCSU; Univ. Hartford, Univ New Haven, Fairfield University and Charter Oak Technical & comprehensive high schools; outreach to grades 6-12 Industry Partners- CCAT, CBIA, Trumpf, Becton Dickenson Government Partners- OWC, DECD REGIONAL CENTER NEXT GENERATION MANUFACTURING

  7. Contribution to GDP Growth, 1992-2000 Rest of economy Manufacturing 21% Transportation/public utilities Wholesale trade Software* Services Finance/insurance /real estate Retail trade SOURCE: U.S. Department of Commerce

  8. Persistent Skills Gap No shortage Moderate shortage of qualified workers 20% 60% Serious shortage 20% SOURCE: NAM, The skills gap 2001

  9. “Connecticut’s Emerging Industries” • Based on “emerging technologies” and existing regional strengths Requires • Continuous learning (info/nano/bio) • Transfer of people and knowledge from mature companies • Capture both explicit and tacit knowledge • Global innovation and business environment Requires: • Global/multicultural awareness and connectivity • Capture ideas and best practices • Technology, innovation & enterprise • Rapid change Requires: • Agile and adaptive work force • Effective skills identification and upgrade

  10. Precision Manufacturing BusinessesCT is 5th in the US in Aircraft and Parts Manufacturing Source: “The Medical Device Industry in Southern New England’s I-91 Corridor” – Beacon Alliance, page 70

  11. RCNGM Goals & Objectives

  12. Activities Industry Driven Curriculum in Next Generation Manufacturing (Precision Mfg, Laser Mfg, Biomedical Applications, Nanotechnology, Green Engineering, Lean Mfg) using flexible online delivery-hybrid approach System to system articulation Professional development for faculty & teachers; industry externships; online training; train the trainer workshops; student recruitment & retention workshops Student Internships Career Marketing Campaign- TV ad; Computer pop-ups; Website (www.nextgenmfg.org) ; Trade shows (EASTEC-Kiosk & Student Day); Professional conferences “Show Ad”

  13. Summer Externships

  14. National Aerospace Leadership Initiative“this initiative should be used to…” U. S. Air Force The Connecticut Center For Advanced Technologies AVETeC Concurrent Technologies Corporation “ US aerospace Research & Development” “Buttress aerospace OEM’s market share” “Fortify US manufacturing supply chain”

  15. Task I Establish the National Center for Aerospace Leadership in Connecticut Task II Apply Modeling and Simulation to Accelerate Technology Transition Enhance effectiveness of an Integrated Supply Chain. Task III Transition Next Generation Manufacturing Technologies Laser Applications Laboratory Nanotechnology Task IV Address Total Supply Chain Enterprise Effectiveness NALI Task Structure

  16. Lockheed Martin Lockheed Martin JSF Program Focuses on Maintainability with DELMIA Solutions “The timing, flexibility and affordability of simulations gave us a significant amount of influence over the air-system design. The designers are willing, and even eager, to address these concerns while their work is still in its preliminary stages… DELMIA's most important contribution is to make maintainability assessable in the beginning of a design effort, where the payoff is significantly better.” Michael T. Golas, Manager, Lockheed Martin Maintainer–In–Loop Program
