The traditional public high school is not satisfying the industrial high-tech needs demanded by the highly competitive global marketplace. A “technical competency gap” exists between industry and public high school education. The Mechanical/Industrial Engineering Technology Division of State Technical Institute at Memphis has developed an innovative approach to help “bridge” this technical competency gap. Dual-credit courses, school-to-work programs, college transfer credit, and resource sharing are all involved in the State Tech endeavor. This paper will explain how this innovative approach develops qualified manufacturing technicians and engineers to serve the Memphis community for the new millennium.
