The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) is conducting a project consisting of a sequence of three interconnected activities designed to enhance the quality of science, mathematics, engineering, and technological (SMET) education in community colleges. Activity One. Fall, 1997 Conference of Community College SMET Educators. This is national meeting of representatives from groups interested in science and engineering advanced technological education, including principal investigators from current National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) projects and centers, private and public sector leaders, and professional associations, among others concerned about such programs. Activity Two. A Case Study of the ATE Program. This activity is a study of the four-year old NSF ATE program. The study is looking at what has been accomplished through the program and its relationship with other stakeholders in the process (businesses, schools, four-year colleges and universities, and others). The case study focuses on approximately ten projects. A 100 to 150 page monograph is being produced which is being widely distributed throughout the community college community. It is being used to shape Activity Three described below. Activity Three. Fall, 1998 Conference of Community College SMET Educators. The purpose of this conference is to underscore and discuss the findings of the assessment conducted in Activity Two. A conference report includes these recommendations and is being shared with conference participants and distributed to the larger community of SMET-interested audiences. *

美国社区学院协会（AACC）正在开展一项由三个相互关联的活动组成的项目，旨在提高社区学院的科学、数学、工程和技术（SMET）教育的质量。活动之一。1997年秋季社区学院SMET教育工作者会议。这是来自对科学和工程先进技术教育感兴趣的团体的代表的全国性会议，包括来自当前国家科学基金会（NSF）先进技术教育（ATE）项目和中心的主要研究人员，私营和公共部门的领导人，以及专业协会，以及其他关注此类计划的人。两个活动。ATE计划的个案研究。这项活动是对已有四年历史的NSF ATE项目的一项研究。该研究着眼于通过该项目取得的成就及其与过程中其他利益相关者（企业、学校、四年制学院和大学等）的关系。案例研究集中在大约十个项目上。一本100至150页的专著正在制作中，并在整个社区学院广泛分发。它被用来塑造下面描述的活动三。活动三种。1998年秋季社区学院SMET教育工作者会议。这次会议的目的是强调和讨论在活动二中进行的评估的结果。一份会议报告包含了这些建议，正在与会议参与者分享，并分发给对smet感兴趣的广大受众。＊
