The National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), a college of the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) is the planning for the development of a resource center, the Center for Advancing Technological Education for the Deaf (CATED). The goal of this center is to increase the number of deaf and hard-of-hearing (deaf/hh) technicians entering the high-technology fields. The center will serve as a resource for deaf/hh students, adults, and the high schools and community colleges that serve them by providing: 1. An on-line clearinghouse for career information on STEM-related technician programs (including, but not limited to, the fields of engineering, information technology, computer-assisted precision machining, computer-aided drafting, digital imaging and laboratory science) and best teaching practices targeted specifically for deaf/hh students in high schools and community colleges, and information on working successfully with deaf/hh technicians for employers and co-workers. 2. A virtual community of both mentors and peers for deaf/hh students and professionals in STEM-related technical programs and technician careers. 3. Community college partnerships that include professional development and faculty-in-residence and/or exchange programs to help community college faculty improve the success of their deaf/hh students. 4. Expansion of the ATE-funded Project Fast Forward: Pathway to an IT Education for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Student to other technical disciplines and to more high schools, including public high schools with isolated mainstreamed deaf students, and creating agreements with local community colleges to accept the RIT/NTID credit. 5. Expansion of the ATE-funded Deaf Initiative in Information Technology project to provide training through distance learning technology for deaf/hh professionals in STEM-related technician fields. The PIs are visiting several existing ATE Centers to determine the best organizational structure and budget requirements for a Center. Evaluation of career awareness material and determination of how targeted material can be developed; investigation of web portal development that supports the virtual learning community and the delivery of dual credit courses and DIIT workshops through distance learning; and development of partnerships for collecting and sharing materials, providing career information, and for mentoring, training, and networking are part of the planning process..

国家聋人技术学院(NTID)是罗切斯特理工学院(RIT)的一个学院，正在规划发展一个资源中心--聋人高级技术教育中心(CATE)。该中心的目标是增加进入高科技领域的聋人和重听人(聋人/重听人)技术人员的数量。该中心将为聋人/HH学生、成人以及为他们提供服务的高中和社区大学提供以下资源：1.一个在线信息交流中心，提供与STEM相关的技师课程(包括但不限于工程、信息技术、计算机辅助精密加工、计算机辅助绘图、数字成像和实验室科学等领域)的职业信息和专门针对高中和社区大学聋人/HH学生的最佳教学实践，以及为雇主和同事提供成功与聋人/HH技术人员合作的信息。2.为与STEM相关的技术方案和技术员职业方面的聋人/HH学生和专业人员提供导师和同伴的虚拟社区。3.社区学院伙伴关系，包括专业发展和教师驻校和/或交流计划，以帮助社区学院教师提高其聋人/HH学生的成功。4.将ATE资助的项目Fast Forward：为聋哑人和听力障碍学生提供信息技术教育的途径扩展到其他技术学科和更多的高中，包括有孤立的主流聋人学生的公立高中，并与当地社区大学达成协议，接受RIT/NTID学分。5.扩大ATE资助的信息技术聋人倡议项目，通过远程学习技术为STEM相关技术领域的聋人/HH专业人员提供培训。PI正在访问几个现有的ATE中心，以确定中心的最佳组织结构和预算要求。评价职业认识材料并确定如何编写有针对性的材料；调查支持虚拟学习社区的门户网站开发，并通过远程学习提供双学分课程和DIIT讲习班；发展伙伴关系，收集和共享材料，提供职业信息，以及指导、培训和联网，这些都是规划进程的一部分。
