摘要

Liberal arts graduates, while well prepared with well-rounded education, more often than not face greater challenges finding employment or good paying jobs in their majors. That is especially true during challenging job markets usually encountered during recessionary times. This paper describes an innovative transformation model (TRANSFORM) designed for liberal arts college graduates interested in pursuing careers in advanced manufacturing. The vision of TRANSFORMmodel is motivated by the opportunity to leverage the creative talents of liberal arts students (a segment of the workforce that has long been underemployed) in advanced manufacturing. The model is a 12-month fast track curriculum program offering full-time coursework supported by industry-based internships in advanced manufacturing. The curriculum spans three terms: summer courses, fall courses and spring internship. Internships are designed to provide students with hands-on and project-based learning experience to facilitate their career transitions. The mission of TRANSFORM model is to provide liberal arts graduates with manufacturing education they need to step into the advanced manufacturing jobs that otherwise go unfilled due to shortage of qualified job seekers. TRANSFORM has these objectives: (1) reach out to liberal arts graduates to inform them about the career opportunities in advanced manufacturing; (2) design and deliver a creative transformation curriculum model, informed and supported by industry partners; (3) design and deliver a certificate program in manufacturing technology and manufacturing innovation; and (4) design and deliver an advising and support system tailored for TRANSFORM participants. Thus, TRANSFORM delivers a new curriculum model, a new co-op model, and a new student advising system; all tailored to effectively transition liberal arts graduates to the advanced manufacturing workforce.
