Fluid Power in Integrated Motion Control Technology


A Suggested Two-Year Post High School Curriculum

This curriculum is a teaching tool for developing new programs or enhancing existing course work. It features a complete outline of courses, list of video tapes and expanded bibliography and reference list.

In view of the increasing impact of technological developments in fluid power and its important and growing role in American industry, It is essential that personnel be trained in this field, There is a developing awareness of the value of highly skilled technicians who can work effectively with professional personnel and who can perform specialized tasks and services in fluid power. Therefore, a need exits for a curriculum guide with supporting materials for a two-year post high school program to educate these fluid power technicians.

Please contact the Fluid Power Educational Foundation for ordering information.

 

A Curriculum for Integrating Pneumatics with Science, Math and Technology

This curriculum guide was prepared by two instructors for a workshop held in 1994, co-sponsored by the Fluid Power Educational Foundation and the Birmingham Public School System. This curriculum guide marries industrial technology - in this case, pneumatics - with theory, and brings them right into the classroom. It was developed for a ninth grade science class and goes a long way toward helping meet a goal of Project 2061 - Science for All Americans, of integrating science and technology with an emphasis on real world applications.

Today's students' scientific and educational needs are vastly different from those in the past. In a world where technological advances are changing our lives daily, an integration of science and technology in the classroom becomes a necessity. This integration offers a unique opportunity to create science programs that allow the student to experience scientific concepts in addition to their technological applications. A fine example of this is the integration of basic pneumatics into the middle or high school science program.

This guide is available by contacting the Fluid Power Educational Foundation or you may view or download this valuable document.
