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.

环境技术（ET）计划建立了A.A.S.在布朗克斯社区学院（BCC），在纽约（CUNY）系统的第一个同类的ET学位，和一系列的职业健康和安全继续教育证书课程。该方案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。它旨在为少数民族学生和其他个人提供新的职业途径，并将在市中心社区内建立对环境与公共卫生之间联系的更高认识。 为了实现这些主要目标，将致力于以下目标：（1）与工业、私营和公共雇主建立至少15个伙伴关系;（2）开设6门新的教育技术专业课程;（3）为教育技术高中和大学教师开设暑期培训机构和持续讲习班;（4）招收第一批24至30名教育技术学士学位学生;（5）设立13至15个实地工作地点，以进行工作观察、工作观摩和实习;（6）80%的教育技术学生修读高级助理学士学位课程。程序;（7）80%的教育技术毕业生在教育技术或相关领域有效就业;（8）200-300名男性/女性参加教育技术继续教育证书课程;（9）在BCC的教育技术课程和布朗克斯高中的教育技术课程以及整个纽约市立大学的高级学院之间建立全面的衔接协议，这些学院都有环境科学/健康课程。 该方案解决了布朗克斯政府，企业和工业在环境仪器，法规和合规性，以及废物最小化/污染预防和控制技术专长的需求。BCC与商业和工业建立的联系是该计划设计中不可或缺的组成部分，该计划将产生独特的合格A.A.S.毕业生谁可以在公共和私营部门工作，并帮助解决日益增长的内城社区环境法规和关注。 匿名戒酒会。学位课程与布朗克斯的中学技术准备和学校到工作课程以及纽约市立大学和其他学院的相关学士学位课程联系在一起;这样，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起来。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，并通过与工业合作伙伴的实习以及参加会议和研讨会来提高其他教师的能力。
