Advanced manufacturing skills panel scheduledfor 2/13/19.Mechatronics non-credit curriculum approved and shared with regionalcolleges. Not-for-credit Amatrol curriculum is proprietary, but resourceshave been shared with colleges who may want to purchase thatcurriculum (online LMS/hybrid curriculum.)Regional breakout session for mechatronics on 2/4/19 will provideguidance to participating colleges regarding industry desired certifications.Round 3 and 4 (if funding is approved) will assist SBVC, Norco, and Barstow(as well as VVC with Round 4) develop their certificate programs.A Mechatronics “train the trainer” program was offered at InTech on10/26-27. Additional follow up trainings will be offered to the region in thenext quarter utilizing Round 3 funding.The number of participating colleges increased from 4 in Round 3 to 5colleges in Round 4 (if funded.)Norco CollegeApproved Workplan ActivityContinue to expand curriculum andprogram offerings in mechatronics.Focus heavily on employerengagement in Mechatronics. Thisincludes, but is not limited to,expanded work-based learningopportunities, enhanced industryadvisory activities, joint partnershipswith workforce stakeholders andregional high schools.ResponseNorco College continues to explore ways to build out our educationalofferings in mechatronics including the possibility of noncredit curriculumin this area.Norco College has developed a partnership with the City of Corona,Corona-Norco Unified School District and local employers to supportpathway development for students from local high schools to NorcoCollege.San Bernardino Valley CollegeApproved Workplan ActivityDevelop the appropriate curriculumand align it with the needs of theindustry and employers.Procure the necessary equipmentneeded in the laboratories.Provide professional development tothe faculty in order to enhance theirknowledge in the use of theequipment.ResponseContinually exploring additional 3rd party certs that align with thisprogram.We have acquired a Flexible Manufacturing System trainer that can beassembled/ dis-assembled, troubleshooted, commissioned, maintained,and it includes common automated manufacturing and logistical functionslike product movement, barcode reading, sorting, shelving, stackingcapability. All of which utilize Mechatronics Technology in accordance withthe project.We are in the process to acquire further training on these up-to-datetrainers and equipment in order to enhance and support the Mechatronicsproject objectives at hand.IE/DRC Strong Workforce – Regional Quarterly Report – Results as of December 31, 2018Page 2

Create pathways with the highschools.Promote and offer the MechatronicsCertificate program to the communitytargeting the minorities, underservedand the unemployed.Outreach activities continue in order to enhance enrollment in ourprogram. In addition, we continue to perform articulation agreementswith certain high schools in order to provide a path for students whoalready are enrolled in basic electrical courses. We are also working onconcurrent enrollment as well as dual enrollment classes in order toprovide the necessary pathways.Outreach activities targeting minorities, underserved, and unemployedcontinue to be held in order to provide them with viable employable skillsneeded for the Mechatronics industry.IE/DRC Strong Workforce – Regional Quarterly Report – Results as of December 31, 2018Page 3
