This interdisciplinary project is designed to increase the number of students pursuing information technology careers by developing a new degree. Faculty members within Lehigh Carbon Community College's Computer Science and Digital Media departments are developing a two-track associate degree in Computer Game and Simulation Development. The curriculum is expected to prepare students for immediate employment as technicians as well as for transfer to four-year institutions. Strategies include learning communities, mentoring by professionals and internships with employers. Outreach activities with high schools including summer camps for students and professional development for teachers enable a 2+2+2 career pathway. The partnership with employers, secondary schools and four-year institutions will have an impact on regional labor market needs.

这个跨学科项目旨在通过开发新学位来增加追求信息技术职业的学生数量。 Lehigh Carbon 社区学院计算机科学和数字媒体系的教职人员正在开发计算机游戏和模拟开发双轨副学士学位。 该课程旨在帮助学生为立即就业为技术人员以及转入四年制院校做好准备。 策略包括学习社区、专业人士的指导和雇主实习。 与高中的外展活动，包括学生夏令营和教师专业发展，可实现 2+2+2 职业道路。 与雇主、中学和四年制院校的伙伴关系将对地区劳动力市场需求产生影响。
