This document discusses the need for career enhancement and just-in-time skill training for technicians working in innovation economies. It outlines a nanotechnology training program with courses on nanomaterials, characterization tools, and fabrication methods. The program aims to reskill both recent graduates and more experienced transitional workers by providing hands-on training on instruments at NASA's Advanced Studies Lab, in order to fill skill gaps in local high-tech industries and keep the innovation workforce competitive.

Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) provides UK businesses of any size, access to world-leading R&D facilities and expertise, to help solve problems impossible to tackle using conventional technologies and techniques. STFC is one of Europe’s largest multi-disciplinary science and research organisations, operating world-class large-scale research and innovation facilities.
Competency is a measure of an individual’s ability in terms of knowledge, skills, and behaviour to perform a given role in the Systems Engineering processes. The competency planning and deployment of Systems Engineering competencies are considered as one key factor in the successful re-industrialisation and digital transformation of Europe.
ISECF can be applied in the context of any application, project, organisation or enterprise for both individual and/or organisational assessment and/or development.

Dr. Robert Voigt from the Krell Institute presented this deck at the recent HPC Saudi conference.
"This talk will provide a historical perspective on the challenges of educating computational scientists based on my personal involvement over a number of years. Three decidedly different activities will be drawn on to indicate how one can successfully approach the challenge. The first is based on experiences at the Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering at the NASA Langley Research Center where visiting students were exposed to multidisciplinary research driven by computer simulations. The second is the Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program funded by the National Nuclear Security Administration, a component of the US Department of Energy (DOE). The third is the Computational Science Graduate Fellowship program funded by the DOE. The latter two programs provide students with exposure to multidisciplinary research and perhaps more unique, require them to spend a three month period at one of the DOE national laboratories. My experience with these three efforts suggest that development of computational scientists require three key components: class room exposure to applied mathematics, computer science and a scientific or engineering discipline; exposure to teams conducting multidisciplinary research; and a significant internship at a major research facility."

Innovate UK and the Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) brought together representatives from 30 projects currently being funded by Innovate UK in the area of Additive Manufacturing. The event used the ‘concept fan’ technique to develop directions, concepts and generate ideas for the UK that could potentially be focussed on, for example looking at new business models in new processes, developing new processes linked to specific sectors and continuing to invent AM processes in the UK.
This is a case study on how Sealed Air is using Innovare's Tech Explorer approach as part of their open innovation program. The show was co-presented by Blaine Childress of Sealed Air and Don Ross of Innovare at the PDMA's Innovate Carolina conference in May of 2012.
The presentation describes how the Tech Explorer is helping Sealed Air break out of a "quick fix" approach to problem solving which often goes after the wrong problem with a less than effective technical solution.

1. Career Booster =>
JIT Skill Enhancement
Robert D. Cormia
Foothill College
Michael Oye
NASA-ASL
2. Overview
• Technicians in innovation economies
• Two student audiences
• Career preparation vs. enhancement
• Just in time / rapid skilling
• Putting SKILL to WORK
• US competitiveness in manufacturing
3. Innovation Economies
• Are dynamic
• Industry clusters
• Silicon Valley
• Computation / networks
• Materials engineering
• Biomedical device
• Clean energy technology
4. Innovation Economies
Silicon Valley is home to
innovation through the hard work
of people bringing ideas, talent,
and capital. In this equation,
human capital is a critical factor.
In Silicon Valley our innovation
workforce is multidisciplinary,
with foundations in science,
engineering, and technology. Our
skilled workforce takes decades
to develop, and the talent is
highly refined. When start-ups
come together, the most difficult
task can be finding people with
strong backgrounds in bringing
innovation to reality. These skills
are valuable, but atrophy quickly
when companies fail suddenly.
5. Three Problems
• Underutilized physical capital
– Instruments sitting idle
• Underutilized human capital
– People sitting idle
• Problems that need to be solved
– Falling behind in key industries
– Energy, materials, advanced
manufacturing
6. Putting Skill to Work
• Valuable work experience
– Advanced materials, instruments
• Start-up / big company environments
• Emerging / complex industries
– Biomedical device / diagnostics
– Clean energy / cleantech
– Thin film coatings
– Smart materials
7.
8. Career Booster: 3 Stages
• Stage one – LIFT OFF
– College degree / BS/MS
• Stage two – Career GROWTH
– First two => three jobs
• Stage three – REINVENTION
– Transitional workforce
– Dislocation => adaptation
9. Younger technicians rise through the ranks
quickly
In stage two of technical growth, new graduates pick up very specific
skills and knowledge related to local innovation economies, especially
industrial clusters from energy to biomedicine to semiconductors
10. Career Enhancement
• Meeting changing demands in a
company
– Core technical competency evolves
– Need to understand / master materials
• Overcoming an existing ‘skill deficit’
– Materials knowledge / instrument skills
• Transitioning into a new / related field
– Clean energy bridges two disciplines:
– Energy and Advanced Materials Engineering
11. Filling the Missing Skill
Companies in high speed growth need people to acquire new skills quickly
12. Nanotechnology Program
• Four course program to develop
technicians for Silicon Valley
• NANO51 – Nanotechnology Applications
• NANO52 – Nanostructures /
Nanomaterials
• NANO53 – Nanocharacterization Tools
• NANO54 – Nanofabrication Methods
15. Two Student Audiences
• Transfer student (18-21)
– Some science foundation
– No industry experience
• Returning student (30-55)
– Science / engineering degrees
– Significant industry experience
Our two student audiences are completely different We have changed strategy
to deliver training to our students, and reached out to transitional workers
16.
17. NASA-ASL
Lab Curriculum
• Thin film deposition
• Nanocarbon synthesis
• Characterization tools
– FE-SEM / TEM
– AFM / SEM / XPS
• Design of Experiments (DOE)
• Materials safety / nanomaterials
18. Integrating Curriculum
• Online support materials
– Nanostructures
– Nanocharacterization
– Nanofabrication
• More skill / less lecture
• References for learning
• Nanoscience / materials engineering
19. MACS Instruments
• Hitachi S4800 Field Emission SEM
(Scanning Electron Microscope)
– Magnification to 500K x
– EDX (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis)
• Hitachi H4500 TEM (Transmission
Electron Microscope)
– Magnification to 300K x
– EDX (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis)
21. Hitachi H9500 TEM
High performance imaging is
key to understanding
nanostructures and advanced
materials. The Hitachi S4500
at NASA-ASL provides
students with the ability to
image materials and see grain
boundaries, lattice structure
of thin films, and the complex
nature of carbon bonding in
nanocarbon structures.
Through a special
arrangement with NASA-ASL,
we are able to provide 8-10
hours of TEM training for a
students, and give them an
edge on their resume, and get
them ‘back in the game’.
22. Design of Experiments
• Experimental design
• Sample selection
• Factorial design
• Statistical analysis
• Process control
28. Initial Cohort
• A dozen technical students / professionals
• Six are consultants / industry connecters
– One person consulting firms
– IEEE working group members
– Nanotech organization (Foresight) etc
• Six are transitional / incumbent workers
– Former technology / recently unemployed
– Students transitioning back into high-tech
31. Summary
• Innovation workforce
– Multidisciplined
• Constant reskilling / career enhancement
• Valuable to innovation economy
– Know how to work in start-up environments
• Need to be reskilled quickly
– Get people ‘back in the saddle’ quickly
• Growing segment of CTE programs
