What should I be teaching? This is a question that all teachers ask themselves when they begin to develop plans for upcoming classes. The answer is easy for some subjects. After all, algebra and ancient history don’t change much from year to year.
However, the question of what to teach takes on greater importance — and can be much more difficult to answer — when you’re a career and technical education (CTE) instructor. When you’re tasked with teaching students the skills that will prepare them to excel in the modern workplace, you must ensure that you’re teaching relevant knowledge and skills that today’s employers need in a work environment constantly impacted by advanced technologies.
For example, many schools across the nation have taught Mechatronics for years. But those basic automation technologies that were once cutting-edge are rapidly being surpassed by newer advanced Industry 4.0 technologies.
Fortunately, those schools that have invested in Amatrol Mechatronics systems are well-positioned to transform those systems into Smart Factories capable of teaching students a wide variety of smart automation skills desperately needed by today’s employers.
In this article, we’ll examine why it’s critical to teach these new skills. Then we’ll explain how easy it is to transform your current Amatrol Mechatronics system into a Smart Factory. We’ll also discuss how teaching these critical skills opens up a new world of opportunity for your students to earn smart automation certifications that will help them prove that they have the in-demand skills employers need.
