Automotive Manufacturing Technical Education Collaborative (AMTEC) Details
The Automotive Manufacturing Technical Education Collaborative (AMTEC) National Center of Excellence in Advance Automotive Manufacturing is funded by the National Science Foundation as an Advance Technological Education Center. We are a recognized collaboration of community colleges and automotive original equipment manufacturers and suppliers working to strengthen the competency and global competitiveness of our automotive manufacturing and service technology. Through the development of industry endorsed and scientifically valid standards as well as innovative competency-based modularized curriculum and assessments, AMTEC has created a unique collaboration of industry and colleges that provides the effective education of workers prized by the industry. The National Governors Association (NGA), through case study, has selected AMTEC as a model and National Best Practice. NGA states that "The AMTEC story shows that it is possible for governors to work collaboratively with industry, with community colleges, and with each other to provide people with the opportunity to build their technical skills and ensure both America's future prosperity and their own economic security", (A Sharper Focus On Technical Workers, How to Educate and Train for the Global Economy, Martin, et. al. 2010). AMTEC is at the forefront of education because the future involves a very different kind of technical worker, a very different kind of partnership, and a very different kind of education. As a collaborative we are excited about the future as we ignite our students' interests, educate them to compete in a global economy, and accelerate them into the workplace to become competent, well-educated members of the automotive and advanced manufacturing industries.
