ACCESS: Advancing Community College Engineering Student's Success

该项目的目标是增加授予德克萨斯州中南部居民的工程学副学士和学士学位的数量。为了实现该项目的目标和成果，将实施以下活动：1）在至少五所地区高中建立双学分工程课程; 2）在远程教育和/或将最先进的技术注入工程课程方面培训社区学院的教师; 3）用最先进的工程教育材料和软件补充社区学院的课程; 4）将至少75%的圣安东尼奥大学工程课程和工程数学转换成互联网格式; 5）为圣安东尼奥大学工程和双学分学生开发一门新的工程课程“工程数学”; 6）SAC将获得2 + 2转移的新衔接协议，在德克萨斯州南部和中部地区至少有两个额外的4年工程计划;和7）其他阿拉莫社区学院区和地区工程学院将意识到新课程的可用性。圣安东尼奥学院将与德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校、德克萨斯A& M、西南德克萨斯大学和其他学校密切合作，为“2 + 2 + 2”的学习制定无缝的工程课程。（高中/社区学院/大学）学生。该项目的预期成果如下：1）每年至少有40名高中学生，一半是少数民族，将参加圣安东尼奥学院的双学分工程或工程预科课程; 2）每学期至少有30名学生将参加一个或多个基于网络的工程课程; 3）在圣安东尼奥学院的少数民族工程专业谁转移到四年制院校的工程课程的人数将增加至少200%; 4）从圣安东尼奥学院毕业的少数民族学生中获得工程学副学士学位的人数将增加至少200%。

The goal of the proposed Project ACCESS is to increase the number of associate's and Bachelor's degrees in Engineering granted to residents of South Central Texas.The following activities will be implemented in order to achieve the project's goal and outcomes: 1) Establishing dual credit engineering courses in at least five area high schools; 2) Training faculty at community college in distance education and/or infusion of state-of-the-art technology into engineering curricula; 3) Supplementing community college curriculum with state-of-the-art engineering education materials and software; 4) Converting at least 75% of San Antonio College Engineering Courses and Engineering Math will be converted into Internet format; 5) developing a new engineering course, "Engineering Mathematics," for San Antonio College Engineering and Dual Credit students; 6) SAC will obtain new articulation agreements for 2 + 2 transfers with at least two additional 4-year Engineering programs in the South and Central Texas area; and 7) other Alamo Community College District and area engineering faculty will be made aware of the availability of new curricula. San Antonio College will work closely with the University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas A & M, South West Texas University and other schools to articulate seamless engineering courses of study for "2 + 2 + 2" (high school/community college/university) students.The expected outcomes of this project are the following: 1) at least 40 high school students, half minority, will be enrolled in dual credit Engineering or pre-Engineering courses with San Antonio College each year; 2) at least 30 students each semester will be enrolled in one or more Web-based Engineering course; 3) the number of minority Engineering majors at San Antonio College who transfer to Engineering programs at four-year institutions will be increased by at least 200%; and 4) the numbers of minority students graduating from San Antonio College with an Associate's Degree in Engineering will be increased by at least 200%.
