The National Science Foundations (NSF) Advanced Technological
Education (ATE) program is a diverse and dynamic set of projects
intent on improving the USA's technical workforce. This book uses
the ATE work as a means to focus on key issues for federally funded
projects and all community colleges facing the difficult challenges
of staying current and reaching constituents in positive ways.
This book brings a wealth of information on key issues for
community colleges. Topics addressed include:
How to sustain innovative programs
How to develop effective instructional materials
How to promote and maintain collaboration among
various institutions including business and
industry
How to provide high quality professional
development
How to strengthen and improve programs of study
How to recruit and retain diverse students
How to evaluate and use evaluation effectively
How to engage advisory committees to
effectively serve program needs
In developing these topics the authors drew heavily on previous
research and a common set of evaluation studies including site
visits at 13 different projects and surveys of more than 100 ATE
projects.
