Broader Impacts: This project features seven interrelated activities designed to advance community college leadership in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, encourage the development of ATE-related programs in more community colleges, and to share information about the value, accomplishments, and community impact of the ATE program in and beyond the education field. The activities build upon the successes previous efforts of the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) supported by the National Science Foundation. The project aims to enrich and expand the current network of institutions in the forefront of technological education reform, support that network by advancing opportunities for professional development and mentoring programs that provide venues and forums for identifying issues and solutions to challenging areas, and disseminate information about successful programs and their national significance. The impact of these activities help community college leaders to make the important connections and partnerships necessary to build and sustain their STEM programs. In addition, the activities help to expand, shape, and focus the future of the ATE program as it positions itself to meet the increasing demand for a trained technical workforce amid the challenges of maintaining U.S. competitiveness in a global economy. Intellectual Merit: The activities include:1. Three National ATE Principal Investigators Conferences in 2005, 2006, and 2007.2. Continuation of the AACC MentorLinks program to help community colleges establish new programs or strengthen existing programs in STEM fields, and a publication of best practices and strategies for program institutionalization from past and present MentorLinks participants. 3. A pilot Regional ATE Conference focusing on the northwest region in 2006.4. Two AACC Briefs, one focusing on the outcomes of the MentorLinks program, and one featuring discipline-based programs, such as the applications of geographic information systems, to come out of the Regional ATE Conference.5. Three issues of a newsletter, TECHcitement, highlighting ATE projects and NationalATE conference proceedings.6. Dissemination of information about ATE programs and goals through AACC publications, presentations, feature stories, conference proceedings, an ATE grantee database searchable by discipline and geographic location, and a Web page.7. Evaluation.

更广泛的影响：该项目有七个相互关联的活动，旨在提升社区学院在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的领导地位，鼓励在更多社区学院发展与ATE相关的项目，并分享有关ATE项目在教育领域内外的价值、成就和社区影响的信息。这些活动是在美国社区学院协会(AACC)在国家科学基金会支持下所取得的成功的基础上开展的。该项目旨在丰富和扩大目前处于技术教育改革前沿的机构网络，通过促进专业发展机会和提供场所和论坛以确定具有挑战性的领域的问题和解决方案的指导方案来支持该网络，并传播有关成功方案及其国家意义的信息。这些活动的影响有助于社区学院领导人建立必要的重要联系和伙伴关系，以建立和维持他们的STEM项目。此外，这些活动有助于扩大、塑造和关注ATE计划的未来，因为它将自己定位为在保持美国在全球经济中的竞争力的挑战中满足对训练有素的技术劳动力日益增长的需求。学术成就：活动包括：1.2005年、2006年和2007.2年度三次全国ATE首席调查员会议。继续AACC MentorLinks计划，以帮助社区大学在STEM领域建立新的计划或加强现有计划，并出版过去和现在MentorLinks参与者的计划制度化的最佳实践和战略。3.2006.4以西北地区为重点的区域ATE试点会议。两份AACC简报，一份侧重于MentorLinks计划的成果，另一份以地区ATE会议将提出的以学科为基础的计划为特色，如地理信息系统的应用。5.三期通讯《科技城市》，重点介绍ATE项目和国家ATE会议进程。通过AACC出版物、专题介绍、专题报道、会议记录、可按学科和地理位置搜索的ATE受赠人数据库和网页，传播有关ATE方案和目标的信息。评估。
