詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学（James Madison University）的综合科学与技术（ISAT）项目提供了一种课程模式，让专业人士做好成为运营集成商的准备。根据SME委托进行的一项研究的结果，作为运营集成商的工程师将有望在技术专家和制造策略师的传统职能领域拥有良好的深度和广度平衡。现有项目培养了足够的技术专家和制造策略师。因此，有必要将重点放在培训运营集成商上。

The Integrated Science and Technology (ISAT) program at James Madison University offers a curricular model that will prepare professionals to become operations integrator. According to the findings of a study commissioned by SME, engineers acting as operations integrators will be expected to possess a good balance of depth and breadth in the traditional functional areas of technical specialists and manufacturing strategists. Enough technical specialists and manufacturing strategists are produced by existing programs. It is therefore necessary to focus on educating the operating integrator.
