The purpose of this ATE Regional Center (CREATE) is to address the needs of industry as a multi-County consortium, by producing highly skilled and educated technicians to better meet national and regional workforce demands in the fields of information and manufacturing technologies. The Center is completing the following objectives in the institutionalization of technical teaching training across the CREATE community colleges: completing the first cohort of 2+2 B.S. in Information Technology students both on-line and on-site at California State University, Channel Islands; conducting a feasibility study on the first 2+2 B.S. in Mechatronics/Engineering Technology at California State University, Northridge; increasing high school outreach efforts, including targeted camps and workshops for ESL and migrant worker high school students; along with industry partners, conducting gender outreach to women; revamping multicampus curricula and faculty professional development to better meet emerging industry need based on CREATE's skills mapping developed with industry focus groups; completing the first phase of out-of-state dissemination for the teaching facilitator programs; and continuing the longitudinal study of faculty training and student learning and development of 2+2+2 pathways.Intellectual MeritThe CREATE team, formed from seven regional community colleges, has met monthly for nine years to develop curricula, share equipment and expertise, conduct joint professional development, and work with employers for the benefit of their students and their programs. Two of the three BS programs are the first of their kind in the State of California. CREATE also develops, adapts, and disseminates curricula and materials to other colleges needing support, primarily in the areas of security and wireless information technology and in project-based manufacturing and electromechanical technologies. The assessment and evaluation team have enabled CREATE to validate the impact of the current objectives and begin a comprehensive longitudinal study on the impact of CREATE's technical teacher training on student and faculty learning.Broader ImpactThe CREATE Center colleges and their partners act as demonstration sites for regional technical workshops that pilot test new curricula, delivery systems, enhance delivery to underrepresented student populations, and conduct innovative professional development. A total of 17,735 students have completed at least one CREATE-developed credit course. All CREATE courses apply to a degree or certificate. The addition of participants from multiple states and NSF Centers has resulted from requests to expand the teacher training nationally.

该ATE区域中心（CREATE）的目的是通过培养高技能和受过良好教育的技术人员，以更好地满足信息和制造技术领域的国家和区域劳动力需求，来满足行业作为多县联盟的需求。该中心正在完成以下目标，在整个创建社区学院的技术教学培训制度化：完成第一批2+2学士学位。在信息技术学生在线和现场在加州州立大学，海峡群岛;进行可行性研究的第一个2+2学士学位。在北岭的加州州立大学的机电一体化/工程技术;增加高中外展工作，包括针对ESL和移民工人高中学生的有针对性的营地和讲习班;沿着，对妇女进行性别外展;修改多校区课程和教师专业发展，以更好地满足新兴行业的需求，基于CREATE与行业焦点小组制定的技能地图;完成教学促进者方案的州外传播的第一阶段;继续进行教师培训和学生学习的纵向研究，以及2+2+2途径的发展。智力优势CREATE团队由七所地区社区学院组成，九年来每月开会，制定课程，共享设备和专业知识，进行联合专业发展，并与雇主合作，为他们的学生和他们的计划的利益。 三个BS项目中有两个是加州同类项目中的第一个。CREATE还开发，调整和传播课程和材料到其他需要支持的学院，主要是在安全和无线信息技术领域以及基于项目的制造和机电技术。评估和评价小组使CREATE能够验证当前目标的影响，并开始全面的纵向研究，研究CREATE的技术教师培训对学生和教师学习的影响。更广泛的影响CREATE中心学院及其合作伙伴作为区域技术研讨会的示范点，试点测试新课程，交付系统，加强对代表性不足的学生群体的交付，进行创新的专业发展。共有17，735名学生完成了至少一门CREATE开发的学分课程。所有CREATE课程均适用于学位或证书。来自多个州和NSF中心的参与者的增加是由于要求在全国范围内扩大教师培训。
