The two-year project involves academically disadvantaged students beginning their collegiate studies in technical programs through the Department of Academic Development. The project provides comprehensive preparedness for college level degree programs and for work in technical careers. The focus is on interdisciplinary, cooperative, project-based learning in order to improve the basic science, technology, engineering, mathematical, and communication skills of students. By adapting and implementing the Technology Gateway curriculum, developed by the South Carolina Advanced Technological Education (SCATE) Center of Excellence, students investigate various technical fields through hands-on, experiential learning in the context of several workplace problem-scenarios. The goal of this project is to prepare students for technical careers and develop life-long learning skills to advance themselves and also to benefit society. Adapting and implementing this project-based education model in the Technical Career Lab increases student engagement, provides for hands-on learning, promotes teamwork and cooperation, and creates adaptive problem-solvers. The recursive nature of the Technology Gateway curriculum allows for careful measurement of increased teaming skills, the ability to transfer knowledge to new contexts, and the application of academic concepts to real-life situations. The entire community is being impacted through the opportunity for training in this educational model by SCATE and the interdisciplinary project team. Given the target student population, the project is preparing this ethnically, culturally, and economically diverse community to be more successful in the technical workforce.

这个为期两年的项目涉及学术上处于不利地位的学生，他们通过学术发展部开始在技术课程上的大学学习。该项目为大学水平的学位课程和技术职业工作提供全面的准备。重点是跨学科，合作，基于项目的学习，以提高学生的基础科学，技术，工程，数学和沟通技能。通过调整和实施技术网关课程，由南卡罗来纳州高级技术教育（SCATE）卓越中心开发，学生通过动手，体验式学习，在几个工作场所的问题场景的背景下，调查各种技术领域。该项目的目标是为学生的技术职业做好准备，并发展终身学习技能，以提高自己并造福社会。在技术职业实验室中调整和实施这种基于项目的教育模式可以提高学生的参与度，提供动手学习，促进团队合作和合作，并培养适应性问题解决者。 技术门户课程的递归性质允许仔细测量增加的团队合作技能，将知识转移到新环境的能力，以及将学术概念应用于现实生活中。SCATE和跨学科项目小组通过这种教育模式的培训机会对整个社区产生了影响。鉴于目标学生群体，该项目正在准备这个种族，文化和经济多元化的社区在技术劳动力中取得更大的成功。
