This project at J F Drake State Technical College builds on a very successful previous implementation project and has the goals to expand the number and diversity of STEM educational opportunities for students, to expand the number of minority, female, and first-generation students entering and completing postsecondary STEM education opportunities at Drake State, and to increase the percentage of students retained in and completing postsecondary STEM education programs at Drake State.The project includes twelve elements to further improve the college's STEM programs and to prepare students for study at 4-year institutions and high-demand, high-wage careers in STEM. They are: nanotechnology integrated across the curriculum, development of a chemistry program, faculty professional development in nanotechnology and chemistry, interactive, 3-D visualization learning objects and a 3-D classroom for STEM courses, Summer Bridge activities emphasizing nanotechnology, summer technology camps for middle school students, a Summer Technology Institute to introduce nanotechnology to secondary school educators, a first-year student coaching program shown to be effective in raising second-year and long-term retention rates, supplemental instruction that places peer mentors and tutors in classrooms to assist faculty and students, faculty and student research projects that can be presented at conferences, virtual learning communities utilizing interconnection between the College's Blackboard Learning Management System and various social network systems, and research on the effectiveness of student coaching, supplemental instruction, and interactive, 3-D learning objects on the retention and learning outcomes of minority, female, first-generation, and economically under-resourced students. This project will prepare veterans, minorities, women, first-generation students, and economically under-resourced students for a broad range of new and exciting, high-wage, high-demand STEM careers.

J·F·德雷克州立技术学院的这个项目建立在之前一个非常成功的实施项目的基础上，目标是为学生扩大STEM教育机会的数量和多样性，增加少数族裔、女性和第一代学生进入德雷克州立大学接受和完成中学后STEM教育机会的数量，并提高德雷克州立大学保留和完成中学后STEM教育项目的学生比例。该项目包括12个要素，以进一步改善学院的STEM项目，并为学生在四年制院校学习和进入高需求、高工资的STEM职业做好准备。它们是：将纳米技术融入课程，开发化学计划，教师在纳米技术和化学方面的专业发展，互动，3-D可视化学习对象和STEM课程的3-D教室，强调纳米技术的夏季桥活动，中学生暑期技术夏令营，向中学教育工作者介绍纳米技术的暑期技术学院，被证明在提高二年和长期保留率方面有效的一年级学生辅导计划，在教室里安排同伴导师和导师以帮助教师和学生的补充指导，可以在会议上介绍的教师和学生研究项目，利用学院的黑板学习管理系统和各种社交网络系统之间的互联，以及研究学生辅导、补充指导和互动3-D学习对象对少数民族、女性、第一代和经济资源不足学生的留存和学习结果的有效性的虚拟学习社区。该项目将使退伍军人、少数民族、女性、第一代学生和经济资源不足的学生为广泛的新的、令人兴奋的、高工资、高需求的STEM职业生涯做好准备。
