The TIES curriculum modules are cross-referenced in the menu below:

As part of the 3-week TIES externship experience, each participating team of educators is required to develop an interdisciplinary curriculum unit. Each unit contains applied academic-based classroom activities and lessons that relate to the industry experience of the team and some specific student competencies. The format of the curriculum units is based on that developed by the National Center of Excellence for Advanced Manufacturing Education at the AIM Center at Sinclair Community College.
