Environmental Technology Program

环境技术(ET)项目在布朗克斯社区学院(BCC)设立了环境技术(ET)的A.A.S.学位，这是纽约城市大学(CUNY)系统中的第一个此类学位，以及一系列关于职业健康和安全的继续教育证书课程。该计划解决了整个布朗克斯和其他市中心社区对训练有素的环境技术人员的关键就业和公共卫生需求。它旨在为少数族裔学生和其他个人提供新的职业道路，并将在市中心社区内建立更多关于环境和公共卫生之间联系的意识。为了实现这些主要目标，将实现以下目标：(1)与工业、私营和公共雇主发展至少15个伙伴关系；(2)实施6门新的教育技术专业课程；(3)为教育技术高中和大学教职员工发展暑期培训机构和正在进行的讲习班；(4)招聘和招收第一批24-30名教育技术学位学生；(5)实施13至15个实地工作地点，用于工作观察、工作跟踪和实习；(6)使80%的教育技术专业学生在A.A.S.方案中毕业；(7)80%的ET毕业生在ET或相关领域的有效就业；(8)参加ET继续教育证书课程的200-300名男性/女性；(9)BCC的ET项目和布朗克斯高中的ET项目与全市设有环境科学/健康课程的高级学院之间的全面衔接协议。该计划满足了布朗克斯政府、企业和行业对环境仪器、法规和合规以及废物最小化/污染预防和控制方面的技术专业知识的需求。北京商贸中心与工商界建立的联系是该项目设计中不可或缺的组成部分，该项目将培养出能够在公共和私营部门工作的唯一合格的美国大学毕业生，并帮助解决S日益增长的市中心社区环境法规和关切。AA.S.学位课程与布朗克斯的中学技术预科和从学校到工作的课程以及纽约州立大学和其他大学的相关学士学位课程挂钩；通过这种方式，该课程将从高中到副学士学位和学士学位到研究生院的环境技术教育走廊联系在一起。该计划的一个主要组成部分是利用暑期学院进行教师培训，并通过与行业合作伙伴的实习以及参加会议和研讨会来增加其他教师的机会。

The Environmental Technology (ET) program establishes an A.A.S. degree in ET at Bronx Community College (BCC), the first of its kind in the City University of New York (CUNY) system, and a series of continuing education certificate courses in occupational health and safety. The program addresses a critical employment and public health need throughout the Bronx and other inner-city neighborhoods for trained environmental technicians. It is designed to provide new career pathways for minority students and other individuals and will establish greater awareness of the link between the environment and public health within inner-city neighborhoods. To accomplish these primary goals, the following objectives will be addressed: (1) development of a minimum of 15 partnerships with industrial, private and public employers; (2) implementation of 6 new specialized courses in ET; (3) development of summer training institutes and on-going workshops for ET high school and college faculty; (4) recruitment and enrollment of a first cohort of 24-30 ET degree students; (5) implementation of 13 to 15 field work-sites for job observations, job shadowing and internships; (6) graduation of 80% of all ET students in A.A.S. program; (7) effective job placement of 80% of ET graduates in ET or related fields; (8) enrollment of 200-300 men/women in continuing education certificate courses in ET; (9) full articulation agreements in place between BCC's ET program and Bronx High School's ET program and senior colleges throughout CUNY that have Environmental Science/Health programs. The program addresses the Bronx governmental, business and industry needs for technical expertise in environmental instrumentation, regulation and compliance, as well as waste minimization/pollution prevention and control. BCC's established ties with business and industry are an integral component in the design of the program, which will produce uniquely qualified A.A.S. graduates who can work in the public and private sectors and help addres s growing inner-city community environmental regulations and concerns. The A.A.S. degree curriculum is tied to secondary school Tech Prep and School-To-Work programs in the Bronx and related bachelor's degree programs in CUNY and other colleges; in that way the program links an environmental technology educational corridor from high school to associate and bachelor's degrees to graduate school. A major component of the program is the use of summer institutes for faculty training and opportunities for other faculty enhancement through internships with industrial partners as well as participation in conferences and workshops.
