The activities include (a) two national meetings approximately one year apart of representatives from groups interested in science and engineering advanced technological education including the principal investigators from many current Advanced Technological Education (ATE) projects and centers, private and public sector leaders, and professional associations; (b) a roundtable of experts on issues in science and engineering advanced technological education; and (c) a live national teleconference on such issues. The sequence of programs is designed to provide people interested in advanced technological education opportunities to network with one another; identify significant issues related to the delivery of effective science and engineering technological education; disseminate the results of these activities to a broad national audience; and, broadcast a national teleconference on these issues. Expected outcomes include a sharper understanding of the characteristics of successful science and engineering technological education programs for all stakeholders in this arena, the development of additional resource documents of use to current and future participants in these education programs, and an increased awareness of the value of each of these activities for deliverin g information to a broad audience.
