Connecticut College of Technology: Curriculum Reform Project

技术学院（COT）正在开发两个ATE专业课程-电信和制造。每个ATE专业由四门选修课程组成，允许学生在正常学习期间注册所有专业的选修课程。这个NSF ATE项目使COT能够开发和完善信息技术、聚合物和复合材料方面的四门课程。这两种ATE选择性序列都是与强大的商业和行业合作伙伴共同开发的。COT也在为这些新开发的选修课程设计和测试远程学习策略。正在为高中数学、科学和技术教师以及两年制和四年制的ATE教员提供教师和教员增强讲习班。这些专业发展机会说明了与基于特定行业的ATE主题相关的新的教学方法。此外，COT教师、四年制ATE专上教师和高中技术教师也可获得工业技术经验。康涅狄格社区学院系统，COT和康涅狄格商业和工业协会合作提供这些技术经验。

The College of Technology (COT) is developing courses in two ATE concentrations - Telecommunications and Manufacturing. Each ATE concentration consists of four elective courses, allowing students to enroll in all the concentration's elective courses during the regular course of study. This NSF ATE project enables the COT to develop and refine four courses in information technology and polymers and composites. Both of these ATE elective sequences are being co-developed with strong business and industry partners. The COT is also designing and testing distance learning strategies for these newly developed elective courses. Teacher and faculty enhancement workshops are being offered to high school math, science and technology teachers and to two-year and four-year ATE faculty. These professional development opportunities illustrate new teaching and learning approaches related to the specific industry-based ATE topics. In addition, technical experiences in industry are available for COT faculty, four-year ATE post-secondary faculty and high school technology teachers. The Connecticut Community College System, the COT, and the Connecticut Business and Industry Association cooperate to offer these technical experiences.
