Advanced Manufacturing



Advanced ManufacturingThe Oregon Advanced Manufacturing Model program aligns to the U.S. National Program Office’s definition identified by the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership: “Use of innovative technologies to create existing products and the creation of new products. Advanced manufacturing can include production activities that depend on information, automation, computation, software, sensing, and networking.” Oregon’s Manufacturing SectorOregon’s manufacturing sector is growing more quickly than the nation’s. Since 2010, manufacturing employment in Oregon has grown by 18.6 percent compared with the nation’s 8.7 percent. In the last year, Oregon has seen a 3.0 percent growth, higher than the nation’s 0.9 percent. However, as of 2017 manufacturing employment in Oregon is still 16,200 jobs below its prerecession peak in June 2006. Manufacturing is a critical part of the Oregon economy representing 6,000 companies with a pay roll of more than $10 billion. The industry employs over 195,000 Oregonians with many of those jobs being high-wage. The average annual manufacturing wage is +31% higher than the average for all Oregonians. This industry includes wood and paper products, computer and electronic components, metals, transportation equipment, and food processors. Current Industrial & Engineering Systems Programs of Study- SecondaryThe Industrial and Engineering Systems Career Learning Area relates to the technologies used to design, develop, install, operate, maintain, and upgrade physical systems. These include, but are not limited to, engineering and related design technologies, mechanical systems, manufacturing technologies, precision production, construction, electrical systems, and electronics and information technologies. People in this field use academic and technological knowledge and skills to design, build, inspect, deliver, maintain, and repair aircraft, automobiles, buildings, computer equipment, roads, bridges, and manufacturing machinery.?Advanced Manufacturing Model Program of StudyThis sequence of courses prepares students for pathways into modern manufacturing and engineering industries. Students will have the chance to grow their basic skills to an advanced level of design and production while developing their academic and workplace skills. A program framework should be flexible to focus on the various materials seen in the industry, such as woods, metals, or mixed materials.Dan Findley, Industrial and Engineering Systems Education SpecialistOregon Department of EducationEmail: daniel.findley@state.or.usPhone: 503.947.0338 ................
