This project involves a partnership of 12 public community colleges, two universities, comprehensive and technical high schools, a pre-engineering program, local industry, and NASA. It is strengthening the 2 + 2 + 2 pathway in STEM disciplines by providing the opportunity for a diverse population of students to collaboratively work on real-world science, technology, and engineering applications. The partners are establishing interdisciplinary teams of high school, community college, and university students and mentors from two-year colleges, four-year colleges, and industry. These teams are conducting research on real-world problems in life support and sustainable living projects for NASA, the U.S. Coast Guard, medical facilities, and other industry partners. The project is also developing industry-mandated professional skills and competencies such as teaming, leadership, and oral and written communications. The results of these real-world, problem-based-case-based projects are being used to write multi-media classroom and laboratory curricula that is piloted and disseminated regionally and nationally. The project is increasing the pool of technicians, scientists, and engineers who possess the requisite skill sets necessary for the 21st century workforce. The 2 + 2 + 2 seamless pathway provides a model for addressing a diverse population of students who may enter the workforce at various exit and entry points while continuing their education.

该项目涉及12所公立社区学院，两所大学，综合和技术高中，工程预科课程，当地工业和NASA的合作伙伴关系。它正在加强STEM学科的2 + 2 + 2途径，为不同人群的学生提供机会，共同致力于现实世界的科学，技术和工程应用。合作伙伴正在建立由高中、社区学院和大学学生以及来自两年制大学、四年制大学和行业的导师组成的跨学科团队。 这些团队正在为NASA、美国海岸警卫队、医疗机构和其他行业合作伙伴研究生命支持和可持续生活项目中的现实问题。该项目还开发了行业规定的专业技能和能力，如团队合作，领导力以及口头和书面沟通。这些现实世界、基于问题和案例的项目的成果正被用于编写多媒体教室和实验室课程，并在区域和国家两级进行试点和传播。该项目正在增加拥有21世纪世纪劳动力所需的必要技能的技术人员、科学家和工程师的人数。2 + 2 + 2无缝路径提供了一个模型，以解决学生谁可能进入劳动力在不同的出口和入口点，同时继续他们的教育多样化的人口。
