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%.

该项目的目标是增加授予德克萨斯州中南部居民的副学士学位和学士学位，以实现项目的目标和成果：1)在至少5所地区高中开设双学分工程课程；2)培训社区学院的教员进行远程教育和/或将最先进的技术融入工程课程；3)用最先进的工程教育材料和软件补充社区大学的课程；4)将至少75%的圣安东尼奥学院工程课程和工程数学课程转换为互联网格式；5)为圣安东尼奥学院工程学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转学的新衔接协议，并在得克萨斯州南部和中部地区至少另外两个4年制工程课程；以及7)其他阿拉莫社区学院学区和地区工程学教员将被告知新课程的供应。圣安东尼奥学院将与德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校、德克萨斯农工学院、西南得克萨斯大学和其他学校密切合作，为“2+2+2”(高中/社区学院/大学)学生提供无缝的工程课程。该项目的预期结果如下：1)每年至少有40名高中生，其中一半是少数族裔，将在圣安东尼奥学院注册参加双学分工程或工程预科课程；2)每学期至少有30名学生参加一门或多门基于网络的工程课程；3)圣安东尼奥学院的少数族裔工程专业转到四年制院校攻读工程专业的人数将至少增加200%；以及4)从圣安东尼奥学院毕业并获得工程学副学士学位的少数族裔学生的人数将至少增加200%。
