Abstract:Taking full advantage of community colleges as sources of science and engineering majors is an important component of the nation?s science and technology policy. President Obama has emphasized the criticality of science and technology to the nation?s future competitiveness and welfare, the importance of community colleges within US higher education, and his intention to focus on community colleges as a key part of his strategy to increase the number of college graduates.Within the engineering and engineering technology communities, the most critical role of community colleges is as feeders to baccalaureate engineering and engineering technology programs. Indeed, some states (e.g., California and Florida) explicitly depend on community colleges as a key pathway for students seeking baccalaureate degrees in all fields.The intellectual merit of this effort is to conduct a pilot surveying of 2-year and 4-year colleges about enrollments, degree attainments, and transfers by e/et students. This can be implemented in a pilot of 50 (35 2-year and 15 4-year) institutions. Data will assist with better understanding and enhancing the role of community colleges in contributing to the baccalaureate engineering population. The immediate impact of this project will be on determining e/et key data from a pilot population of community college e/et students and their transfer to baccalaureate e/et programs.

摘要：充分发挥社区学院作为理工科专业生源地的优势，是国家S科技政策的重要组成部分。奥巴马总统强调了科学技术对国家的重要性--S未来的竞争力和福利，社区学院在美国高等教育中的重要性，以及他打算把社区学院作为他增加大学毕业生数量战略的关键部分。在工程和工程技术社区，社区学院最关键的角色是为工程和工程技术学士学位项目提供资金。事实上，一些州(如加利福尼亚州和佛罗里达州)明确依赖社区大学作为学生在所有领域寻求学士学位的关键途径。这一努力的智力价值在于对两年制和四年制大学进行了一次关于招生、学位获得和e/et学生转学的试点调查。这可以在50所(35所2年制和15所4年制)机构的试点中实施。数据将有助于更好地理解和加强社区学院在促进学士学位工程人口方面的作用。该项目的直接影响将是确定社区大学e/et学生试点群体的e/et关键数据，并将他们转移到本科e/et项目。
