Situation

Lockheed Martin, a world famous defense and weaponry U.S. contractor with facilities in several states employees thousands of semi-skilled and skilled workers in their plants

building technically advanced state-of-the-art mobile units such as ships and airplanes for our national defense and have been doing so for more than ¾ of a century. Currently,

Lockheed has a contract in the Baltimore Maryland facility to revamp several Coast Guard boarder defense ships to be retro-fitted with the most innovative weaponry. The Baltimore facility works under a labor agreement with a union that has been long-standing and who has represents the members for almost as long as the plant has been in existence. Many of

these workers are relatively very near retirement or are already retired. Lockheed is urgently looking to ensure a qualitative/quantitative workforce to handle the current

contracts and those in the future.

Data Collected Skilled and semi-skilled already retired by December 2015 = aprox. 22 Skilled and semi-skilled expected to retire by December 2016 = approx. 10 Skilled and semi-skilled needed to be added to workforce over the next two years = 40

Original Instructional Design and Development

When we first built the Production Technician Program the request was for a sequence that focus on basic production knowledge and associated skills. With an emphasis on mechanical skills, there were several topics removed; electrical skills, Maintenance Certification, and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) Certification due to considerations of budget and time element to fulfill needed workforce requirements.

Summative Evaluation Results

While first student class was successfully hired (80% of class) and had attain the moderate proficiency for job description, thought was given to considering adding an instructional topic to enhance production communication and comprehension of tasks. It has been determined that a blueprint/drawing comprehension needs to be added to the shop skills class.

ENTRY LEVEL PRODUCTION TECHNICIAN: Phase II Continued

EXPLANATION OF PROJECT-BASED

LFEARDING

STUDENTS LEARN PRIMARILY BY HANDS-ON LEARNING IN TASK PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES. STUDENT RECEIVE INSTRUCTION FIRST EITHER BY TEXTUAL

CONTENT OR FACILITATED STRATEGY BY INSTRUCTOR IN WHICH STUDENTS LEARN APPROPIATE SKILLS AND PROCEDURES TO ACCOMPLISHING TASKS.

DESCRIPTION OF STRATEGIES AND

ACTIVITIES

WEB-BASED VIDEOS AND VISUALS ARE USED AS INSTRUCTIONAL AIDS THAT DEOMONSTRATE SKILL TECHNIQUES, PROPER AND SAFE USE OF HAND AND

POWER TOOLS IN MODEL SITUATIONS.

VARIOUS ACTIVITIES ARE BEST LEARNED BY USING A "SHOW-AND-TELL" MODEL OF INSTRUCTION IN ORDER FOR STUDENTS TO ATTAIN UPFRONT VIEW

OF A PARTICULAR OPERATION.

Students will be required to maintain an acceptable grade of at least 70 grade points for each periodical written quiz exams. Material content shall be taken from resource textbook #1. Students are expected to cover material through assignments and discussions in classroom. Students will be expected to perform hands-on activities and task as directed by instructor according to industry safe practices. Proper handling of tools regarding their use and proper storage will constitute the necessary behavioral practice observed.

Formative Evaluation Model

This model is selected to track progression and level of competency for the skills attain from the instructional materials and experiential learning task and activities students engage in. Complexity in accomplishing task is an informal measurement of time spent in solving problem task specifically facilitated by Instructor. Further development of task are considered by the results of the informal data.

Summative Evaluation Model All data informal and formal is collected and reviewed to compare with previous curriculum course completed for improve effectiveness of strategies, criteria, goals and objectives development. Quality of resource materials such as textbooks for particular elements are reviewed and compared to newly discovered materials or editions. Industry innovated tool sources are persistently researched to keep students abreast for
