  1. REC Foundation Industry Certifications • Event Partner Summit • July 10, 2014 • Dan Larochelle and Matt Conroy 1

  2. Intended Outcomes • Learn about industry certifications growth and need • Understand the REC Foundation Certifications and their design, curricula content, facilities needed, various state and national funding for certifications • Understand proctoring procedures • Understanding the scoring rubric for the certifications • Learn the process to take the certifications • Management of student data and their results • Learn how to purchase certifications (handouts)

  3. What are Industry Certifications? • Growing number of states are now requiring industry certifications • Potential funding for students passing • Federal Carl Perkins funding available • Provides students with a certificate for entry level • Help students determine areas of interest and strength in Pre Engineering and Robotics • Developed over four years by teams of engineers from local and internationally based corporations, physicists, HS teachers, and university professors

  4. REC Foundation Certifications • Based on 150 hours of HS level coursework. • Designed to work with a school’s available resources for the facility, teacher expertise and curricula • Two certifications – • Pre-Engineering • Robotics • Fundamentals of Engineering exam must be passed first for both certifications • Certificates will be issued if the set criteria is met. • Proctors will have access to student’s progress and certificates earned.

  5. Certification Requirements Robotics Certification Fundamentals of Engineering Mechanical Computer Science & Engineering (Programming) Electrical • Pre-Engineering Certification • Fundamentals of Engineering • Students choose “ANY” two of the following modules: • Mechanical • Computer Science & Engineering (Programming) • Electrical • Chemical • Aerospace • Civil Engineering • Engineering Technology • Manufacturing Technology Note: Students earn BOTH Certifications when completing Robotics Certification, as requirements exceed Pre-Engineering Certification.

  6. Certification Scoring Rubric • Pre-Engineering Certification • Minimum score is 70 Points • Must pass Fundamentals of Engineering module • Must pass a minimum of two of engineering modules • Robotics Certification • Minimum score is 80 Points • Must pass Fundamentals of Engineering module • Must pass Mechanical, Electrical and Programming modules

  7. Certification Scoring Example 1 Albert Einstein scores a 82% on the Fundamentals of Engineering and earns 50 points. He scores a 92% on the Electrical module and earns 15 points. He scores a 78% on Chemical and earns 5 points: Fundamentals   50 pointsElectrical            15 pointsChemical          5 pointsTotal:                70 points Albert earns a Pre-engineering certification with emphasis in Electrical and Chemical. Rubric for all engineering module areas Prerequisite:  Pass the Fundamentals of Engineering moduleExam Length: 30 MinutesMinimum Passing Grade: 70%Certification Scoring Rubric:90-100%   15 Points80-89%     10 Points70-79%      5 Points< 70%         0 Points Fundamentals of Engineering Rubric Exam Length: 90 MinutesMinimum Passing Grade: 70%Certification Scoring Rubric: 95-100%  65 Point85-94%  60 Points75-84%    50 Points70-74%    40 Points< 70%        0 Points

  8. Certification Scoring Example 2 Henry Ford scores a 92% on the Fundamentals of Engineering and earns 60 points.  He scores a 91% on the Mechanical module and earns 15 points. He scores a 61% on Aerospace module and earns no points: Fundamentals 60 pointsElectrical       15 pointsAerospace         0 pointsTotal:                75 points While Henry has 75 points, he did not pass the minimum two modules and receives no certification. Henry can retake Aerospace module or take a different module in order to earn his certification.
