• W2336696826 abstract "For several years, the aerospace industry has been undergoing radical change driven by the pressures caused by an aging workforce and a customer base that has been demanding dramatic increases in productivity. Retirements have and will continue to lead to valuable manufacturing knowledge being lost during very critical times. In 2006, a team of faculty from four institutions received NSF funding to help address this problem through a better-educated incoming workforce via aerospace-centric manufacturing course modules designed to be inserted into existing manufacturing courses. The modules developed over the three-year life of this grant have been very well received and are currently being used by several community colleges, universities, and a number of aerospace companies. In 2010, the team received a second NSF grant to continue their work. The new project will largely focus on the development of a few more key modules, the enhancement of several of the existing modules with defined laboratory exercises and kits and a published digital media for use with the modules. This paper will provide background on the first NSF project and describe the current and pending accomplishments with the most recent project. Details will be presented on the project’s modular approach to aerospace manufacturing education including: topic selection, module development, lab kit development, module implementation, and module dissemination. Current State of the Aerospace Industry The aerospace manufacturing industry continues to face a myriad of challenges brought about through receding defense budgets and global economic conditions. Faced with a number of business contractions and conservative investment the aerospace industry related employment experienced in excess of 600,000 jobs in 2011, half of which were production workers 1 . The aerospace industry is nationwide, with California, Texas, and Washington having the largest employment and significant clusters in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, and Kansas 2 . The Aerospace Industry Association projections through 2013 anticipate growth in the civil aircraft sector propelled by an increasing demand for fuel efficiency. The military aircraft sector, navigating through rough waters, continues to show promise as the country attempts to manage an aging fleet. The international markets for defense aircraft are strong yet exhibits signs of increasing competition from foreign governments. These international campaigns generate further opportunities to reduce costs and improve efficiencies of legacy aircraft programs. Reported in the 2011 year end review and forecast, Marion Blakey, President of the Aerospace Industries Association stated; “The U.S. Aerospace industry continues to provide significant contributions to the country’s economy and provides capabilities vital to our nation’s security. With employees in every state of the union, it generates the highest positive trade balance of any U.S. manufacturing sector” 3 . In 2008, the aerospace industry's $57 billion trade surplus represents the largest positive trade balance of any U.S. manufacturing industry 4 . As new and improved processes and materials are being integrated into aerospace manufacturing the industry is faced with an aging workforce. The average age of a production worker is 54 years based on the 2005 President’s report of findings and recommendations for the US aerospace industry 5 . These workers have continued to retire over the last few years as a result of corporate downsizing and employee reductions. These production jobs, when replaced in the coming years, will lack the skill brought about through years of stewardship and mentorship that have historically been linked to the industry. The introduction of the sophisticated technologies for manufacture of modern air vehicles requires a new type of aerospace manufacturing technologist that is educated and trained to understand and operate modern day systems entering production 6 . At the same time the academic community has been challenged to meet the needs of state and local governments. To meet the needs of industry these same institutions cannot afford to incur lengthy review processes required to change curriculum. Academic Institutions must be positioned to support industry through training in current processes and technology." @default.
