He was inducted into the Auto Racing Hall of Fame in 2010 and is currently one of only two living who were never a participant. In 2013, he was inducted into the Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame. Keynote at Opening Session Wednesday April 15, 2015 Fall/Winter 2014 | ATEA JOURNAL 7 Topic Presenter 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.

Chair GM Institute and University of OKLA Team-Based Learning (TBL) has evolved from the Health Science Education to the area of automotive education. This session will discuss the system of individual, team and peer evaluations. Students establish goals, facilitate outcomes, and recognize the value of team effort in problem solving and content engagement and sharing. Net effect, less lecture, greater facilitation and a positive learning environment. Projector and screen Room Topic Presenter Description Session 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.

Room Topic Presenter Description Advanced Automation and Robotics Technology Program 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. Steve Bardonner Dean of Schools of Technology, Applied Science and Engineering Technology, Fine Arts and Design, Central IN.

Alabama FAME –Federation of Advanced Manufacturing EducationAn apprenticeship match made in Heaven (The Rocket City) Bethany Shockney, Dean of Business, CIS, Technologies and Workforce Development, Calhoun Community College, Decatur/Huntsville, Alabama. Dean Shockney was recognized by Ed Castille, Director of Alabama Industrial Development Training, as key to the development of Robotic Technology Park. 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.
