Georgia’s New Heavy Equipment Operator Training Program’s Success

Cat® Simulators Systems and SimScholars™ Curriculum Play Key Roles in Georgia’s New Heavy Equipment Operator Training Program’s Success

Peoria, Ill.— Simformotion™ LLC’s Cat^® Simulators systems and SimScholars™ heavy equipment operator (HEO) curriculum are playing key roles in the state of Georgia’s newly launched HEO simulator training program.

The new HEO program is one of Georgia’s 17 Career Clusters/Pathways which provide a structure for organizing and delivering quality Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) programs in Georgia’s public high schools. The HEO program provides a pathway for students in 12 high schools and career technical centers throughout the state of Georgia to learn and enter the construction industry.

C.W. Matthews Contracting Co., Inc. recently piloted the program with its employees and deemed the program as very effective in placing individuals on the “fast track” to becoming heavy equipment operators in the horizontal construction industry. Jeremy Whitaker, Director of Training & Recruitment, attributes much of the program’s success to the Cat® Simulators systems and SimScholars™ curriculum.

“Cat® Simulators are the main focus of the program because the simulators are so authentic to the real equipment,” said Whitaker who explained how the SimScholars curriculum provides instructors with a course overview, exercise objectives, learning outcomes, lesson plans, step-by-step procedures, checklists/schedules, student management tools, quizzes and pre/post-tests. “The simulators, along with the SimScholars curriculum, really puts our students on the fast track to becoming operators.”

The program consists of three classes, Industry Fundamentals & Occupational Safety (the beginning course for all construction pathways in Georgia), Intro to Heavy Equipment: Excavator and Heavy Equipment 1: Bulldozer. Starting in the Intro to Heavy Equipment class, instructors split the class into two groups.

Students in Group 1 complete in-class learning using the SimScholars curriculum. They learn in-depth reasons on why they need to operate machines a certain way. Meanwhile, students in Group 2 experience hands-on excavator training on the Cat Simulators systems and complete exercises like the Machine Walkaround, Bench & Truck Loading, Trench Box & Pipe and Trenching, just to name a few. Once both groups finish their objectives, they switch places with the in-class students training on the simulators and the simulator students completing the in-class learning.

During the second and third classes in the HEO pathway, industry partners provide “vision trips” to the students which benefit both the industry partners and students. The partners have the opportunity to build relationships with the students; the students get to experience the real equipment and see skilled operators run the machines.

Whitaker explained during the vision trips students see that the controls on the simulators are the same as the controls on the real iron. “Having the same controls on the simulator as the real equipment is very important. It makes the learning curve less steep when they move to the real equipment.”

At the end of the second and third classes in the pathway, industry partners host students at real jobsites where students perform their “Capstone Projects.” The students’ capstone projects require them to perform the same series of tasks on the real equipment as they did on the simulators. During the capstones, seasoned operators observe the students and make sure they adhere to strict safety guidelines.

“Students are familiar and comfortable with the real machines because of the time they’ve spent learning and practicing on the simulators,” said Whitaker. “Transitioning from the simulator to the real equipment is like putting on a comfortable pair of boots that you’ve broken in. You’re already familiar and comfortable with them. The students are able to make an impact in the field on the real equipment on day one.”

Whitaker explained that students who successfully complete the entire program, their capstone project and receive a favorable evaluation and recommendation from their CTAE instructor will have a variety of career opportunities in the horizontal construction industry from contractors across the state.

“We are thankful for all the support this new pathway has received,” commented Whitaker. “Our intent is to continue to work with the Georgia General Assembly to budget additional funding so that more programs can be launched across the state to impact students while meeting our industry’s workforce demand.”

SimScholars Online Curriculums Provide Heavy Equipment Training for Cat® Simulators In or Out of the Classroom

Peoria, Ill.— Simformotion^™ LLC – a leader in heavy equipment simulator training solutions – now offers SimScholars^™ heavy equipment training curriculum turn-key solutions to use with Cat^® Simulators.

Currently used in conjunction with 10 construction Cat Simulators systems, SimScholars’ online, scalable and customizable curriculums provide educational materials, support and guidance to instructors, in or out of the classroom. From beginning to end, the curriculums provide instructors with a course overview, exercise objectives, learning outcomes, lesson plans, step-by-step procedures, checklists/schedules, maps, student management tools, quizzes and pre-tests.

C.W. Matthews Contracting Co., Inc., located in Marietta, GA, structures its entire 12-week, in-house apprenticeship program around the SimScholars curriculum.

“The curriculum really gives us a good path to follow to get our apprentices on the fast track to becoming operators for C.W. Matthews,” explained Jeremy Whitaker, Recruitment & Development Manager. “I really love the program.”

“Starting each module with safety is very important,” said Whitaker. “That’s the foundation of everything that we do. Because it doesn’t matter if you’re the best operator on planet earth. If you’re not working safely, it doesn’t matter.”

Because safety is a priority on any jobsite, every SimScholars course begins with lessons in jobsite, machine and personal safety. Students learn how to recognize and avoid jobsite hazards, the importance of personal protection equipment (PPE) and how to operate heavy equipment safely so everyone returns home safe every day. Students learn how to conduct machine-specific walkaround inspections and operate the machine by familiarizing themselves with the authentic Cat controls. Learners review videos of expert guided step-by-step simulations, walk through specific lessons associated with each simulation exercise, then are ready to begin their hands-on training on Cat Simulators.

As students train on the Cat Simulator, the system generates a report instructors can compare to expert benchmarks set by Caterpillar subject matter experts. In addition to the simulator-generated reports, each curriculum includes multiple quizzes throughout the course to evaluate students’ in-class knowledge.

Whitaker explained that the apprentices have to pass all the quizzes and simulator module tasks according to the curriculum metrics. Their program ends with a field experience where the apprentices are evaluated on real excavators.

“We have tasks for them to do on the real equipment that line up with what they learned throughout the program,” explained Whitaker. Whitaker then asks each apprentice which was easier to operate, the simulator or real machine.

“After approximately 40 hours of in-class instruction and simulator time, every one of them says the real equipment is easier to operate than the simulator.” He continued, “And that’s exactly what we want. The level of training and preparation of the program prepares them so well that when they sit in the real machine it’s like putting on a comfortable pair of blue jeans. The simulator has prepared them just that well to become operators.”

SimScholars turn-key curriculum solutions are currently available for Articulated Truck, M-Series Motor Grader, Dozer/Track Type Tractor, Advanced Dozer, SimLite Dozer, Hydraulic Excavator, Advanced Construction Excavator, SimLite Excavator, Small Wheel Loader and Mining Truck Cat Simulators with more in development.
