Teaching With Technology

摘要

A North Carolina machining instructor says the industry should give community colleges a second look. Isothermal Community College (Spin-dale, North Carolina) is combating the met-alworking industry's skilled labor shortage one student at a time. It is also helping to alter young people's misperceptions about manufacturing and improve the industry's view of community colleges. The school is accomplishing all of this by being a "leader in technology," in the words of machining technology instructor Scott Bradey. "We aren't teaching behind the tunes," he says.
