Description
Hybridizing a Typically F2F Technical
Course - Statics
Josh Nelson, Assistant Professor and Program Chair,
Mechanical Engineering Technology (METC), Ivy Tech
Lafayette IN
Historically, the typical statics course is entirely done on paper. There
is much emphasis on analytical problem solving, but certain concepts
can be difficult to visualize. This was taken as a starting point and built
upon; hands-on lab activities that reinforce and illustrate the concepts
were incorporated. Examples include building trusses and measuring
the forces within their members and observing the simple loading of a
polycarbonate beam via the photoelastic effect.
Joshua Nelson earned a B.A. in Secondary English
Education and a M.S. in Technology from Purdue
University. He has seven years of teaching experience in
a variety of environments, including middle school and
college. Currently, he is Assistant Professor and Program
Chair for Mechanical Engineering Technology at Ivy Tech
Community College in Lafayette. In addition to teaching,
he also enjoys bicycle riding, playing bass, repairing and
restoring vehicles, and spending time with his wife and
four children
Session
In spring 2015, the course was offered for the first time as a hybrid at Ivy
Tech Community College. In this model, lectures are recorded before
class each week. Each topic is approximately fifteen minutes in length
(there are two to four topics in a given week). As students will learn at
various paces, based on their speed of comprehension, requirement for
repetition, and background, this model allows for a variety of learning
styles. Recitation and lab sessions enable students to receive assistance
with their work and see the concepts in action in a physical system.
There is an app for that, the power of
smart phones and tablets.
Julie Byrd, Director of Online Learning, Ivy Tech,
Kokomo, MS Information and Communication,
Ball State IN
This presentation is geared towards teaching the power of smart phones
and tablets. It covers academic apps, business apps, and apps that will
help you stay organized. Safety and home apps will be addressed. Bring
mobile device.
Filling the Middle Skills Gap
through Collaboration with Industry
and Education
Jason Everett, Regional Sales Manager, Amatrol Inc.,
BA Construction Engineering and Management, Purdue
MBA, Indiana University SE.
There is no question that the shortage of middle skilled workers to
fill the millions of job openings for technical jobs is undermining US
competitiveness and widening the gap in income disparity. Collaboration
between industry and education along with a favorable political
environment are critical components for filling these skills gaps and
creating a pro-business environment. This presentation takes a look at
best practices for filling these middle skilled gaps and creating a talent
pipeline for industry in your area.

Accelerating Training
Through Block Scheduling
Presenters represent institutions with the Tribal College
TAACCCT consortium, DeMaND Project
The Team from DeMaND TAACCCT have successfully implemented
blocked scheduling as a means towards accelerating student completion.
The team will share information how they worked through challenges
in scheduling, instructor load, student perspectives, accreditation, and
student services. They will share data measuring their success and lessons
learned. Q & A.
Bring laptop
This presentation will examine a multi-tiered evaluation and continuous
improvement process developed for the Technical Retraining to Achieve
Credentials (TRAC-7) TAACCCT grant program. The model was
used by grant program staff to identify and operationalize performance
indicators, and collect evaluation data to inform procedural and
programmatic improvements, as well as to meet federal reporting
requirements. As a model of continuous improvement, the process builds
on the lessons learned, best practices, and evaluation findings from the
previous data point to identify gaps and develop processes to address
areas in need of strengthening. These strategies were evidence-based
and involved program staff at the partner consortium institutions in
collaborative revisions that increased understanding and consistency to
improve accuracy in reporting performance metrics.

Ivy Tech Deans of Technology current or former.
There is a dramatic shortage in skilled trades, automation, and industrial
maintenance personnel to fill the needs of the manufacturers not only
in Indiana, but in the United States as well. Ivy Tech Community
College was given a task to develop and implement a program focused
on this shortage. A few of the regions in the state were asked to pilot our
Advanced Automation and Robotics Technology Program which follows
the model of that used in Europe. Our presentation shows the challenge
and the approaches used.

was recognized by Ed Castille, Director of Alabama
Industrial Development Training, as key to the

The Alabama FAME (Federation of Advanced Manufacturing
Education) partnership lead by Toyota Motor Manufacturer of
Alabama and several other manufacturers have developed a dynamic
apprenticeship program for industrial Maintenance Technicians that
leads to an Advanced Manufacturing Technician (AMT) associates
degree and full time employment in 5 semesters. The program began
in 2014 and is slated for 200% growth for the upcoming Fall 2015
semester. It has a 92% retention rate.
The 200% growth is due in part to the Decatur/Huntsville community
manufacturing sector ‘s recent announcements of Remington Arms
(2000 jobs) and Polaris (1800 jobs). AL FAME is the by far the most
effective long term solution to developing a highly skilled workforce for
very specifically groomed jobs. Students receive general, yet intense,
classroom formal education while a parallel training opportunity at a
specific manufacturing environment with their sponsoring company.
WIN WIN WIN for all.
