A team of experienced ATE Principal Investigators (PIs), working in collaboration with ATE Center and project PIs and the American Association of Community Colleges, is initiating a regenerative mentoring system for leadership development and knowledge transfer to broaden the impact of the ATE Program. Targeted outreach is facilitating participation of technician educators from underserved groups and from community colleges that have either not been successful or have never received funding from the NSF. Peer mentoring is facilitating knowledge transfer and helping prepare the next generation of community college faculty leaders in advanced technological education fields critical to economic development and national security. This project builds on three successful pilot projects that engaged new institutions in the work of the ATE Program and improved outcomes for ATE projects and ATE Centers. Mentor-Connect has involved ATE PIs, NSF Program Officers, current grantees, potential grantees, the National Academy of Engineering, and the IBM Corporation in project planning. The project is delivering:* A system benchmarked to the IBM Global Mentoring Program with multiple innovative mentoring strategies and effective use of technology;* An increase in engagement with and competitive proposals from colleges and populations underrepresented in the NSF/ATE Program;* Online referral, resources and support services for use by mentors, prospective and current PIs, and NSF Program Officers;* A cadre of new, diverse Principal Investigators with leadership skills;* Broader utilization of existing ATE resources and;* Engagement of successful ATE PIs as mentors who give back to the ATE Program.

一个由经验丰富的ATE首席调查员组成的团队，与ATE中心、项目pi和美国社区学院协会合作，正在启动一个领导力发展和知识转移的再生指导系统，以扩大ATE计划的影响。有针对性的外展促进了来自服务不足群体和社区大学的技术教育工作者的参与，这些社区大学要么没有成功，要么从未获得过NSF的资助。同侪辅导促进了知识的转移，并帮助培养了下一代社区大学的高级技术教育领域的教师领袖，这些领域对经济发展和国家安全至关重要。该项目建立在三个成功的试点项目的基础上，这些试点项目使新机构参与了ATE计划的工作，并改善了ATE项目和ATE中心的成果。Mentor-Connect项目涉及到ATE pi、NSF项目官员、当前受助者、潜在受助者、美国国家工程院和IBM公司的项目规划。该项目提供：*一个以IBM全球指导计划为基准的系统，具有多种创新的指导策略和有效的技术使用；*增加与在NSF/ATE项目中未被充分代表的大学和群体的接触和竞争性提案；*在线推荐、资源和支持服务供导师、未来和当前的pi和NSF项目官员使用；*拥有一批具有领导才能、多元化的新首席调查人员；*更广泛地利用现有行政辅助技术资源；*聘请成功的ATE pi作为导师回馈ATE计划。
