This $520,281 National Science Foundation project grant supports Piedmont Virginia Community College's implementation of a mastery learning model in six core advanced manufacturing courses. The goal is to improve student learning outcomes and increase graduates for the college's Advanced Manufacturing program. Mastery learning will be applied using a flipped classroom approach with hands-on learning for advanced manufacturing technologies. Courses will be structured in modules allowing students to progress at their own pace. Professional development will enable implementation in four dual enrollment courses to provide a pathway for regional high school students. The college will partner with existing programs to recruit broadly for the advanced manufacturing program and provide industry engagement opportunities like site visits and job shadowing. Insights gained on mastery learning's effectiveness will be disseminated to other technical education programs. This award advances the goals of the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to support technician education in advanced technology fields critical to the economy.
