0510158LunsfordThis award to Monterey Peninsula College in California extends a program of support for internships on academic ships conducting oceanographic research. The MATE Center, based at Monterey Peninsula College in California, was established with support from the NSF Advanced Technology Education Program (ATE) in 1997. A component of the curricular and educational activities developed under this program is an internship program, placing students from community colleges and universities involved in marine technology studies in career training situations where they can obtain work experience in marine technology careers. Seagoing experience is a particularly important component of this training, but one with limited opportunities that can readily be integrated with classes and the academic calendar. MATE has for six years sponsored a collaborative internship program with research ships of the US academic fleet (UNOLS, or University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System) and the Ocean Drilling Program, both supported by NSF. The present proposal is to provide funds for fifteen student interns to sail on research vessels annually for each of the next three years, developing technical, scientific, seamanship and interpersonal skills. The internship program includes skills evaluations and project evaluations by both student and mentor, and data on prior years' internships is maintained by MATE to track successes and failures and improve program operations.***

该奖项授予加州蒙特利半岛学院（Monterey Peninsula College），为在进行海洋学研究的学术船上实习提供支持。MATE中心位于加利福尼亚州蒙特利半岛学院，于1997年在美国国家科学基金会先进技术教育计划（ATE）的支持下成立。在该计划下开发的课程和教育活动的一个组成部分是实习计划，将参与海洋技术研究的社区学院和大学的学生置于职业培训环境中，使他们能够获得海洋技术职业的工作经验。航海经验是这种培训的一个特别重要的组成部分，但它的机会有限，可以很容易地与课程和学术日历相结合。MATE已经与美国学术船队（UNOLS，或大学-国家海洋实验室系统）的研究船和海洋钻探计划赞助了六年的合作实习计划，这两个计划都由NSF支持。目前的建议是为今后三年每年15名实习学生提供经费，让他们在研究船上航行，发展技术、科学、航海和人际交往技能。实习项目包括由学生和导师进行的技能评估和项目评估，前几年的实习数据由MATE维护，以跟踪成功和失败并改进项目运营
