The revolution for a more automated and  techno-centric workforce has also brought a host of new technologies to  NWTC. The College is heavily focused on three Industry 4.0 areas,  augmented reality\/virtual reality (AR\/VR), the Internet of Things (IoT),  and additive manufacturing (which incorporates new ways of material  manufacturing \u2013 like 3D printing). These technologies are shaping  industry, and NWTC is working hard to find new ways to include them in  course curriculum to enhance student learning. \u00a0<\/p><p>NWTC already has  the technology \u2013 zSpace computers, HP Reverb G2 and Microsoft HoloLens 2  headsets, 3D printers, and more \u2013 and is working to continue  integrating it into courses. If you are interested in seeing all the  technologies the College is piloting, stop by room ET103, our new AR\/VR  learning lab on the Green Bay campus. All these technologies are  available to students and will be integrated into courses over the next  several months. \u00a0<\/p><p>Zspace computers have been installed in ET103,  the Trades and Engineering Technologies atrium, and the Transportation  Center. These resources are available for students to use on their  projects, and we encourage you to sit down, test them out, and immerse  yourself in the new technology. \u00a0<\/p><p>\u201cYou get so immersed in all the  cool things you are doing you do not realize you are even working on  projects \u2013 it almost feels like you are playing a video game,\u201d said  Jason Trombley. Trombley is the NWTC Instructor and Industry 4.0 team  member leading the College\u2019s AR\/VR efforts.<\/p>     <\/div>                  <\/div>         <\/div>     <\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/main><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industry 4.0, the merging of smart digital technologies into production, manufacturing, and operation practices, has become increasingly important for regional businesses to stay competitive and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"chat","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-chat","hentry","category-business-programs","post_format-post-format-chat"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kglodowski.bitweb1.nwtc.edu\/webmgmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kglodowski.bitweb1.nwtc.edu\/webmgmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kglodowski.bitweb1.nwtc.edu\/webmgmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kglodowski.bitweb1.nwtc.edu\/webmgmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kglodowski.bitweb1.nwtc.edu\/webmgmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=329"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/kglodowski.bitweb1.nwtc.edu\/webmgmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":343,"href":"https:\/\/kglodowski.bitweb1.nwtc.edu\/webmgmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329\/revisions\/343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kglodowski.bitweb1.nwtc.edu\/webmgmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kglodowski.bitweb1.nwtc.edu\/webmgmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kglodowski.bitweb1.nwtc.edu\/webmgmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
