The college is completing an institution-level reform of its Engineering Technology Associate degree program in an effort to better meet the workforce demands of industry in central New Jersey. The project brings together a consortium of secondary schools, a community college, a four-year university, workforce development professionals, and industry leaders. This project strengthens the ties within the technical education community and promotes industry participation in educating students and training technicians. The goals of the project are to develop a comprehensive and detailed plan to transform the Engineering Technology curricula to meet the technical standards of industry, develop customized training opportunities for incumbent and displaced workers, integrate work-based activities and internship programs for students, develop initiatives to increase enrollment including underrepresented students, enhance faculty development opportunities with local industry partners, and promote a working relationship among interested industrial stakeholders. The activities being completed to meet these goals include two planning conferences with industry and education partners and a week-long curriculum development retreat. This project serves as a model for transforming a community college technical education program in collaboration with secondary schools and a four-year university, to create a seamless educational and work-entry pathway for future technicians.

该学院正在完成其工程技术副学士学位课程的机构级改革，以更好地满足新泽西中部工业的劳动力需求。 该项目汇集了中学，社区学院，四年制大学，劳动力发展专业人士和行业领导者的联盟。该项目加强了技术教育界之间的联系，并促进工业界参与教育学生和培训技术人员。 该项目的目标是制定一个全面而详细的计划，以改造工程技术课程，以满足行业的技术标准，为在职和失业工人开发定制的培训机会，为学生整合基于工作的活动和实习计划，制定措施，以增加入学人数，包括代表性不足的学生，加强教师与当地行业合作伙伴的发展机会，并促进有关工业利益相关者之间的工作关系。 为实现这些目标而正在完成的活动包括与工业和教育合作伙伴举行的两次规划会议以及为期一周的课程开发务虚会。 该项目作为与中学和四年制大学合作改造社区大学技术教育计划的典范，为未来的技术人员创造一个无缝的教育和工作进入途径。
