A Partnership for Computer-Based Curriculum Development in Atmospheric Technology

标题：以计算机为基础开发大气技术课程的伙伴关系该项目的目标是开发大气技术方面的计算机互动培训模块，其目的是使全国社区学院的环境技术学位课程大量参与其中。该项目涉及ATE项目所描述的三个活动中的每一个(a)课程和教学材料的开发，(b)教师和师资队伍的提高，以及(c)仪器和实验室的改进。项目目标是：(1)提供大气技术培训，使学生为从事空气质量监测和气象数据应用等职业做好充分准备；(2)制定一个夏季讲习班计划，培训社区大学教师将计算机培训模块与环境技术应用的现场和实验室仪器相结合。该项目是沙漠研究所（DRI）、内华达州大学和社区学院系统、科罗拉多山学院（CMC）和大学大气研究公司（UCAR）的合作成果。DRI在距离CMC阿尔卑斯校区5英里的10500英尺的山顶上运营着一个山顶研究实验室，该实验室将作为开发教学图形、视频和培训模块数据集的现场和教室。实验室和位于同一地点的社区大学校园也将举办教师研讨会。CMC、DRI和UCAR的科学家和教师之间的伙伴关系包括设计、开发、评估和传播基于计算机的培训模块。特别确定了一个少数群体，即美洲土著人，加强外联活动。此外，由工业界、政府机构和环境教育团体代表组成的咨询委员会将就技术课程内容和就业目标提供指导。

Title: A Partnership for Computer-Based Curriculum Development in Atmospheric Technology The objective of this project is to develop computer-interactive training modules in Atmospheric Technology, which are designed to significantly involve environmental technology degree curricula at community colleges nationwide. The project addresses each of the three activities described for an ATE Project (a) Curriculum and Instructional Materials Development, (b) Teacher and Faculty Enhancement, and (c) Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement. Project goals are: (1) Provide training in Atmospheric Technology which adequately prepares students for employment in careers such as air quality monitoring and meteorological data applications; and (2) Develop a summer workshop program to train community college teachers to incorporate the computer-based training modules with field and laboratory instrumentation for environmental technology applications. The project is a collaborative effort of the Desert Research Institute (DRI), of the University and Community College System of Nevada, the Colorado Mountain College (CMC), and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). The DRI operates a mountaintop research laboratory on a 10,500 ft. peak, within 5 miles of the CMC Alpine Campus, which will serve as a field and classroom location for the development of instructional graphics, video and datasets for the training modules. The laboratory and co-located community college campus will also host the teacher workshops. The partnership between the CMC, DRI and UCAR scientists and faculty includes the design, development, assessment and dissemination of the computer-based training modules. A minority population group, Native Americans, is specifically identified for enhanced outreach activities. In addition, an Advisory Committee with members representing industry, government agency, and environmental education groups will provide guidance on the technology curriculum content and empl oyment targets.
