Note: Project COMPLETE focused on engineering technology careers, but it's still helpful to understand the big "umbrella" of all engineering-related careers through this video!
Instrumentation Technician
ABOUT
The instrumentation technology programs at Louisiana Delta Community College and Louisiana Tech University support an engineering technology career pathway for high school and post-secondary students. Project COMPLETE aimed to prepare students for instrumentation technician careers in manufacturing and other highly automated industries. Through our partnerships, we also promoted increased participation in the STEM workforce by underrepresented students. The project positively affected local industry and residents by strengthening the pipeline into high-technology, high-wage jobs. As a result, Project COMPLETE improved the quality of life for these residents and shared successes and lessons for high-tech workforce development in other rural areas across the nation.
During our funding period, the Project COMPLETE team and its partners reached over 40 teachers/counselors and 750 students from 30 schools. We built a hands-on curriculum with over 40 lessons and assessments that can be combined with industry-based certifications (IBCs). Many projects in the curriculum use our classroom kits.
