MATEC NetWorks National Resource Center II

MATEC网络是一个先进技术教育（ATE）国家资源中心，支持有关半导体，自动化制造和电子的教学。除了教师发展机会之外，该中心还提供了创建、共享和使用其数字资源集合的场所。这些包括一个网站；提供课堂技术课程和其他教学资源的数字在线图书馆；网络系列研讨会；有论坛的虚拟社区；还有一个全国性的会议。该中心继续为全国各地的技术和社区大学项目提供资源，并希望扩大服务，更多地关注学生和影响措施。在这项工作中，该项目有四个主要目标：目标1：扩大技术教育社区对数字资源库的贡献和使用。这一目标的重点是开发增强的数字图书馆资源和服务。目标2：建立有效的方法和计划，广泛传播学习材料和教师专业发展。这一目标的重点是传播。目标3：加速技术教育社区适应学习者需求和技术变化的能力。重点是技术人才的培养。目标4：确定并应用适当的评估框架。这一目标侧重于网络活动对改善学生、教师和技术人员学习的影响。智力价值：关注使用和可用性目标和目的导致资源的产生和获取，以及实现这些资源的集成方法。战略、活动、网络研讨会、播客、会议和其他活动都集中在帮助社区利用资源和服务来增强STEM技术人员教育计划和课程的内容和教学方法。更广泛的影响：模范资源收集影响着教学与学习网络的课堂准备技术课程和教学资源的收集，每个月都有越来越多的用户访问。几乎所有可搜索数据库的用户都报告说，他们将网络的材料直接纳入他们的教学和实验活动中。网络与其他ATE资源中心、ATE中央和国家科学数字图书馆的协调将教育者与更广泛的资源联系起来。

MATEC NetWorks is an Advanced Technological Education (ATE) National Resource Center that supports teaching about semiconductors, automated manufacturing, and electronics. In addition to faculty development opportunities, the center provides venues for creating, sharing, and using its collection of digital resources. These include a web site; a digital online library of classroom-ready technology lessons and other pedagogical resources; a web seminar series; a virtual community with forums; and a national conference.The center continues to provide resources to technical and community college programs across the country and expects to expand services with an additional focus on students and impact measures. In this effort there are four major goals for the project: Goal 1: Expand the contribution to and usage of the Digital Resource Library by the technician education community. This goal is focused on developing enhanced Digital Library resources and services. Goal 2: Establish effective approaches and programs for broadly disseminating learning material and faculty professional development. This goal is focused on Dissemination. Goal 3: Accelerate the ability of the technician education community to adapt as learner needs and technologies change. The focus is on of technician education. Goal 4: Identify and apply appropriate frameworks for evaluation. This goal is focused on the impact of NetWorks' activities on improving student, faculty and technician learning. Intellectual Merit: Focus on Use and Usability The goals and objectives lead to the generation and acquisition of resources and to an integrated approach to implementation of those resources. The strategies, events, webinars, podcasts, conferences and other activities all focus on helping the community utilize the resources and services to enhance the content of and pedagogical approaches to STEM technician education programs and curricula. Broader Impacts: Exemplary Resource Collection Influences Teaching & Learning NetWorks' collection of classroom-ready technology lessons and pedagogical resources are accessed by an increasing number of users each month. Almost all users of the searchable database report that they incorporate NetWorks' materials directly into their teaching and laboratory activities. NetWorks' coordination with other ATE resource centers, ATE Central and the National Science Digital Library connects educators with an even wider array of resources.
