CMCC gets grant for technician education
Central Maine Community College in Auburn has received a $1.3 million grant to lead a first-of-its-kind machine tool project.
The grant is from the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technical Education program to launch the Virtual Ideation Platform, a project that will improve how machine parts are built, according to the Sun Journal in Lewiston. Cameras will be installed on equipment to allow students in Auburn who make machine parts to communicate with engineering students at other colleges who design machine parts, to help the engineering students design parts that are easy to build. CMCC will be the lead school in the project and will work with other technical schools, most of those in the Northeast, including the University of Southern Maine's Department of Technology.
The college expects to install the cameras and launch the project by January, according to the paper.
