Innovative Training on Additive Manufacturing: AMTE@CH Learning Experience

Abstract

Enhancing Additive Manufacturing (AM) education at graduate and professional levels is a strategic lever to improve the manufacturing sector skills. This paper aims at presenting the design of an additive manufacturing training for Vocational Education and Training (VET), developed in the AMTE@CH project. The novelty design of training complements the Instructional Design Model (IDM) with practical activities for AM elevating the awareness of the use of novel pedagogical models for VET. It is fundamental to change the type of teaching/coaching approach, more oriented to active learning and direct participation of students/trainees with project-based learning methods. The innovative AM training method proposed in AMTE@CH project encourages and enables trainers to acquire transversal key competences such as design skills, and technical knowledge on AM. © 2023 IEEE.
