The Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center will continue its marine technical internship program, which represents a partnership with University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG). The program will provide 14 undergraduate students with two to eight week internships and one student with a six-month internship each year for the next three years (2014-2017). MATE interns work with marine technicians and scientists onboard UNOLS and USCG research vessels, and these experiences provide them with the opportunity to develop their technical, scientific, seamanship, and interpersonal skills. MATE's at-sea technical internships help undergraduate students gain the experience they need to be qualified for technical jobs in marine-related academic and industry careers, and it provides ocean-related employers with access to qualified technical professionals who can fill their workforce needs. The MATE Center has 56 formal community college and university partnerships from which the interns are actively recruited. The program targets community college students enrolled in marine science and technology programs and university students interested in marine technical careers. The program's primary target audience is students enrolled in community colleges as these students tend to be more diverse (age, socioeconomic and ethnic) than four-year university students and are not typically provided with research opportunities. Evaluation into the success of the internship's long-term impact on student career trajectories is planned. Through this work, the internship program continues to expand its reach and impact on undergraduate marine technical education.

海洋先进技术教育（MATE）中心将继续其海洋技术实习计划，该计划代表与大学国家海洋实验室系统（UNOLS）和美国海岸警卫队（USCG）的合作伙伴关系。该项目将在未来三年（2014-2017）每年为14名本科生提供2至8周的实习机会，并为1名学生提供为期6个月的实习机会。 MATE 实习生与 UNOLS 和 USCG 研究船上的海洋技术人员和科学家一起工作，这些经验为他们提供了发展技术、科学、航海技术和人际交往技能的机会。 MATE 的海上技术实习帮助本科生获得胜任海洋相关学术和行业职业技术工作所需的经验，并为海洋相关雇主提供了能够满足其劳动力需求的合格技术专业人员的机会。 MATE 中心与 56 所正式的社区学院和大学建立了合作伙伴关系，并积极招募实习生。该项目针对的是就读海洋科学与技术项目的社区学院学生和对海洋技术职业感兴趣的大学生。该项目的主要目标受众是社区学院的学生，因为这些学生往往比四年制大学生更加多样化（年龄、社会经济和种族），并且通常没有研究机会。计划评估实习是否成功对学生职业轨迹的长期影响。通过这项工作，实习计划不断扩大其对本科海洋技术教育的影响力。
