AB  - With a growing need for a more skilled workforce, providing industry-driven and employment-centric training services is an important national priority. Over 3.4 million manufacturing jobs will need to be filled across the United Sates over the next decade, The skills gap is becoming greater based on the statistics provided by the Global Robotics Technology Market: Forecast, 2014-2020 published by Research and Markets, reporting that the worldwide robotics market is forecast to grow from the 2015 level of $26.98 to $82.78 in 2020. This 11 % compounded average growth in the next five years is unprecedented. Given the anticipated growth of the robotics industry, the number of jobs that will be required to meet the demand will grow exponentially as well. The future is bright for careers in STEM fields; today, the average annual salary for a STEM worker is $33,200 higher than the average of all U.S. workers, making the need for a novel robotics credential imperative.
The proposed curriculum development in the area of Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing was carried out broadly in two Tasks. Task I of the project focuses on investigating and compiling the curricula offered by different community colleges, work force education programs in universities and other industry certificate programs in the state of Virginia and then in other states. Task II of this project focuses on curriculum development at CCAM (Commonwealth Center for Manufacturing, VA) that improves/adds the topics, compliments and fills the gap from the data gathered in the first stage. Task II not only depends on Task I information but also data gathered from industry needs and new technologies that are required in the manufacturing robotics area. The future goals include implementing the developed curriculum at Communit College level and at 4 year degree colleges.
