PRAISE- Partnering Regional Academia with Industry to Strengthen Education in Secure Internet Application Development

该项目正在建立产业界、学术界和高中之间的区域合作伙伴关系，以更有效地招聘和培养一支技术熟练、多样化的网络和移动程序员队伍，他们能够设计和创建安全的、数据驱动的网络和移动软件应用程序，以满足普吉特湾地区未得到满足的工作需求。具体地说，该项目正在与：1.地方高中合作，通过夏令营和职业生涯开始，增加接受网络和移动程序员培训的学生的数量和多样性，通过这一计划，学生可以在还在高中的时候获得网络/移动编程专业技术学位。2.行业通过网络活动和行业研究员计划改善学生的就业准备、指导和安置，在该计划中，一名教师和一名行业专业人员在课堂上配对。3.建立一所四年制大学，制定反向转学方案，为大学生提供获得网络/移动编程证书的机会，同时获得相关的现实世界经验和实际工作技能，或在转学后完成两年制学位。这些举措的目标是通过接触代表性不足的群体，加强工作技能，为项目毕业生的就业市场做好准备，增加作为网络/移动程序员进入劳动力大军的学生人数。该学院正与西雅图中央社区学院(SCCC)和华盛顿大学塔科马分校(UWT)密切合作，以实现这些目标。这些努力的主要受众是高中生和两年制大学生。智力优势：这个项目正在使用几种创新的技术，作为广泛领域中其他项目的样板。第一个是行业研究员计划，它将在职专业人员整合到关键课程中。第二个是独特的反向转学计划，允许学生自由地从四年制大学转到社区学院，以满足他们的个人教育目标。反向转学计划正在改善社区学院和大学之间的衔接，并有助于终身学习。更广泛的影响：该计划通过有针对性的招聘，特别是向拥有不同学生人口的当地高中提供大量未得到满足的需求，为一支多样化和训练有素的技术人员队伍提供服务。该项目正在加强高中和社区学院之间、学院和行业之间以及学院和大学之间的伙伴关系。为了给其他机构提供一个范本，该项目的成果和课程产品正在广泛传播。

This project is creating a regional partnership of industry, academia, and high schools to more effectively recruit and prepare a skilled and diverse workforce of web and mobile programmers who can design and create secure, data-driven web and mobile software applications to fill unmet job demand in the Puget Sound region. Specifically, the project is partnering with: 1. local high schools to increase the number and diversity of students training to become web and mobile programmers through summer camps and Career Start, a program through which students may earn a professional-technical degree in web/mobile programming while still in high school. 2. industry to improve student job preparation, mentoring, and placement through networking events and the Industry Fellows program, where a faculty member and an industry professional are paired in the classroom. 3. a four-year university to develop a Reverse Transfer program, providing opportunities for university students to earn certificates in web/mobile programming while gaining relevant real world experience and hands-on job skills or complete two-year degrees after transferring. The goal of these initiatives is to increase the number of students entering the workforce as web/mobile programmers by reaching out to underrepresented groups and strengthening job skills and preparation for the job market for program graduates. The college is working closely with Seattle Central Community College (SCCC) and the University of Washington Tacoma (UWT) to accomplish these goals. The primary audiences for these efforts are high school and two-year college students. Intellectual Merit: This project is using several innovative techniques that serve as a model for other programs in a wide range of fields. The first is the Industry Fellows program, which integrates a working professional into key courses. The second is a unique Reverse Transfer program, which allows students to freely move from a four-year university to the community college to meet their personal educational goals. The Reverse Transfer program is improving articulation between the community college and the university and contributing to life-long learning. Broader Impacts: This program is supplying a cadre of diverse and well-trained technicians in an area of large unmet need through targeted recruitment, particularly outreach to local high schools with diverse student populations. The project is strengthening partnerships between high schools and the community college, between the college and industry, and between the college and university. In order to provide a model for other institutions, results and curricular products from this project are being broadly disseminated.
