- Increased awareness of VET Teachers about 3D printing system, design, print & slicing models, creation of 3D models. -Larger comprehension of 3D printing technical demands including equipment and software benchmark - The elevated experience level of VET teachers by efficient application of learning outcomes and curriculum with assessment opportunities - Advanced expertise, qualifications and ability to improve and acquire new skills of Automotive Technology teachers in vocational high schools. - Larger understanding of 3D printing process by VET teachers. - High level of experience in developing models suitable for 3D printing, increased modelling skills, slicing techniques & materials, 3D printing for automotive field. - Development of knowledge and competencies progress framework compatible with ECVET, containing results, syllabus, technical prerequisites report with equipment and software benchmark. - Composition, verification, modernization, and preservation of 3D printing educational program mobile HUB for vocational schools - Supporting EU VET preference to improve vocational skills in consideration of labor market and sector requirements - Increase the level of skills in VET learners for employability
Professional improvement of vocational teachers is a foundation of good quality and applicable technical and vocational education, both school and work-based. Implementing new technologies, such as 3D print and prototyping in high schools of VET will reinforce bonds between the labour market and school education. As of today, we do not have at our disposal an advanced curriculum for a training course of 3D printing for the Automotive Technology department to apply 3D modelling to stimulate young minds, awaken their creativity and potential in a school laboratory. As a consequence of the increased utilization of 3D printing across industries, it is necessary for teachers to improve their design and technical competencies mandatory to handle this automation. The progress in skills anticipation can be achieved through the use of updated curriculum applicable for effective learning in line with the demands of the sectors and innovations. Vocational teachers are indispensable to support the skills improvement of the labour force.
