Economic competitiveness, rapid technology advances and changing workforce requirements call for new ATE teaching strategies, curricular reform and better teamwork among educators, business and industry and professional organizations. Urban ATE colleges face these and other challenges, serving largely economically disadvantaged and predominantly minority students many under-prepared for ATE college learning. Yet, these same urban institutions offer diversity, academic expertise and opportunities for urban businesses seeking flexible, dynamic partnerships to meet their workforce needs. New ATE curriculum development and program improvement resources and initiatives must be developed by urban ATE colleges and their partners in a more cost-effective and coordinated way. The National Urban ATE Center is directed by a consortium of City University of New York (CUNY) associate degree colleges, eventually offering services to between 25-35 of the country's largest urban ATE colleges. Services include: (1) establishment of a Resource Clearinghouse creating an Internet hub, teleconferencing and traditional research services; (2) exemplary ATE curricula dissemination in engineering technology and development of an ATE Curriculum Frameworks; (3) exemplary faculty enhancement services in the use of technology in associate degree engineering technology; and (4) student academic support services to urban ATE colleges in mathematics and communications. Ten major urban ATE colleges throughout the United States will participate in the first year, along with national professional organizations and businesses, including CORD, American Chemical Society, Urban League, NYNEX, Hughes Corporation and others. CUNY expects substantial resource gains among participating colleges and development of effective strategies to improve student achievement and to meet the workforce needs of business and industry.

经济竞争力、快速的技术进步和不断变化的劳动力需求要求新的ATE教学战略、课程改革以及教育工作者、工商业和专业组织之间更好的团队合作。 城市ATE学院面临着这些和其他挑战，主要为经济上处于不利地位的学生和少数民族学生提供服务，其中许多学生对ATE大学学习准备不足。 然而，这些城市机构为寻求灵活，动态伙伴关系以满足其劳动力需求的城市企业提供多样性，学术专业知识和机会。 城市ATE学院及其合作伙伴必须以更具成本效益和协调的方式开发新的ATE课程开发和计划改进资源和举措。 国家城市ATE中心由纽约（CUNY）副学士学位学院组成的联盟领导，最终为全国25-35所最大的城市ATE学院提供服务。 服务包括：（1）设立资源交换中心，作为互联网枢纽，提供电话会议及传统研究服务;（2）推广工程科技方面的先进自动测试课程，并制订先进自动测试课程大纲;（3）为副学士学位工程科技应用方面的科技应用，提供先进自动测试课程的示范服务;以及（4）为城市ATE学院提供数学和通信方面的学生学术支持服务。 全美10所主要的城市ATE学院将沿着国家专业组织和企业参加第一年的活动，包括CORD、美国化学学会、城市联盟、NYNEX、休斯公司等。 纽约市立大学期望参与的学院获得大量资源，并制定有效的战略，以提高学生的成绩，满足商业和工业的劳动力需求。
