CURRICULUM: LOUISIANA ADVANCED MANUFACTURING PROGRESS DELGADO COMMUNITY COLLEGE SERVES 17 000 STUDENTS OVER THE GREATER NEW ORLEANS AREA WITH MINORITY ENROLLMENT OVER 55%. OUR PROPOSED PROJECT WILL EXPAND OUR EXISTING ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE CURRICULUM THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A THREE SEMESTER PROJECTBASED ADVANCED MANUFACTURING COURSE WITH AN EMPHASIS ON SPACE APPLICATIONS. THIS COURSE WILL SERVE NASA'S GOAL TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN UNDER-REPRESENTED STUDENTS IN SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) CAREERS THROUGH HANDS ON PROJECT BASED TEACHING. FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF COURSE DEVELOPMENT DIRECT SCHOLARSHIPS WILL BE OFFERED TO QUALIFYING STUDENTS WHO TAKE THE COURSES. ENROLLED STUDENTS WILL ALSO COMPLETE A WEEK-LONG FIELD TRIP TO OUR PARTNER INSTITUTION UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA IN LAFAYETTE TO BECOME INVOLVED WITH THE ISM-LMA ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PROJECT. HIGH PERFORMING STUDENTS WILL BE PLACED IN INTERNSHIPS AT MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER OUR PARTNER NASA INSTITUTION. OUR PARTNER AT NORTHWESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA WILL WRITE A FULL SET OF ONLINE AND IN CLASS COURSE MATERIALS. THESE COURSES WILL BE AVAILABLE CONTINUOUSLY AT BOTH COLLEGES AFTER THE PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE OF THE AWARD. TO ENHANCE RECRUITMENT IN STEM EACH YEAR WE WILL OFFER FIELD TRIPS TO NEARBY NASA FACILITIES AND SEMINARS FROM PROFESSIONALS INVOLVED IN A VARIETY STEM RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. THESE SEMINARS AND FIELD TRIPS WILL BE OPEN TO ALL DELGADO COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS. A THREE SEMESTER CURRICULUM AT DELGADO COMMUNITY COLLEGE WILL DEVELOP BASIC COMPETENCIES AND CONFIDENCE IN FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORE STUDENTS INTO THE FIELD OF ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AND ASSIST PRE-ENGINEERING STUDENTS. WE INTEND TO DEVELOP A CURRICULUM THAT COVERS BASIC MATERIALS OF PROPERTIES AN INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING IN CAD DAQ ROBOTICS AND COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE. ANNUALLY WE WILL ASSIGN PROJECTS USING OUR EXISTING MAKER SPACE AND ADVANCED MANUFACTURING FACILITIES AND WE PLAN TO HAVE STUDENTS APPLY TO MSFC AS INTERNS TO GAIN HANDS ON EXPERIENCE AS COLLABORATORS. DELGADO COMMUNITY COLLEGE HAS EXPANDED ITS VOCATIONAL-TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM TO INCLUDE ROBOTICS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE. IT HAS ALSO EXPANDED ITS PRE-ENGINEERING PROGRAM TO INCLUDE TRANSFERABLE FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE ENGINEERING COURSES IN CALCULUS-BASED PHYSICS I-III AND MATHEMATICS FOR ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS FROM CALCULUS I THROUGH LINEAR ALGEBRA AND DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS. MORE LOUISIANA STUDENTS ARE STAYING AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES FOR FINANCIAL REASONS. THESE NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS ARE AN UNTAPPED WORKFORCE FOR NASA AS BOTH COLLABORATORS AND FUTURE WORKFORCE. THESE STUDENTS CAN BE TAPPED FOR DUAL ENROLLMENT AND BETTER RETAINED TO A STEM WORKFORCE WITH EARLIER EXPOSURE TO MULTIPLE STEM DISCIPLINES. THESE STUDENTS WOULD BENEFIT FROM BEING EXPOSED TO MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A FUNCTIONAL COMMUNITY MAKER SPACE AT OUR INSTITUTION. TWICE A WEEK WE HAVE COURSES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AND TO STUDENTS THAT TEACH PROFICIENCY ON OUR ROUTERS CUTTERS AND PRINTERS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE WORK-SHOPPING DAYS M-F THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR K-12 STUDENTS TO USE OUR LAB. IN ORDER TO PERMIT THIS RESOURCE TO BECOME PART OF OUR STUDENTS' HERITAGE A FULL CURRICULUM OF THE LAB S CAPABILITIES NEEDS TO BE DEVELOPED BEYOND K-12 WORKSHOPS THAT IS SUITABLY ADVANCED FOR FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE ENGINEERING STUDENTS. IF A CURRICULUM WERE AVAILABLE TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS AND TO OUR COMMUNITY AS A COURSE WE COULD INCREASE RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF STUDENTS INTERESTED IN STEM FIELDS. THIS CURRICULUM WILL BE ALIGNED WITH NASA'S CURRENT RESEARCH EFFORTS AND WORKFORCE NEEDS.
