This project is developing and hosting two workshops, one each year of the project, that are helping build collaborations between regional technical workforce employers and New Mexico two-year community college faculty. During these workshops, faculty and regional industry personnel will develop outcome-based measures of needed engineering technician and engineering skills, industry sponsored student projects, and topics for short training classes for current engineering technicians and engineers. This project leverages New Mexico's rural Native American and Hispanic students' cultural values of natural resource stewardship in project based work to help them succeed. The industry sponsored student projects and instructional activities that are being developed are combining real-world industry problems, technology, field research, and student project work in transformative ways to engage rural New Mexico's two-year community college students. This project's intellectual merit is in making the rigors of technical education relevant to rural community college students and preparing these students to serve in the growing regional technical workforce. The establishment of a permanent Industry Advisory Committee helps maintain a connection between New Mexico State University (NMSU) Grants, other New Mexico two-year community colleges, and the regional technical workforce employers in a way that enables continued relevance and growth of NMSU Grants' and New Mexico's engineering technician and engineering programs. The broader impacts of this project are being realized through the distribution of the learning outcomes, materials, and industry projects and contacts with New Mexico two-year community college faculty and the broader ATE community through annual conference participation.

该项目正在开发和举办两个研讨会，每年一次，这有助于建立区域技术劳动力雇主和新墨西哥两年制社区学院教师之间的合作。在这些研讨会期间，教师和区域行业人员将制定基于结果的措施，以所需的工程技术人员和工程技能，行业赞助的学生项目，以及为当前的工程技术人员和工程师提供短期培训课程的主题。该项目利用新墨西哥州农村的美洲原住民和西班牙裔学生的自然资源管理文化价值观，在基于项目的工作中帮助他们取得成功。正在开发的行业赞助的学生项目和教学活动将现实世界的行业问题、技术、实地研究和学生项目工作结合起来，以变革的方式吸引新墨西哥州农村的两年制社区大学学生。这个项目的智力价值在于使严格的技术教育与农村社区大学生相关，并使这些学生为不断增长的区域技术劳动力做好准备。建立一个永久性的行业咨询委员会有助于保持新墨西哥州立大学（NMSU）赠款、其他新墨西哥州两年制社区学院和区域技术劳动力雇主之间的联系，从而使NMSU赠款和新墨西哥州的工程技术人员和工程项目持续相关和增长。通过分发学习成果、材料和行业项目，以及通过参加年度会议与新墨西哥州两年制社区学院教师和更广泛的ATE社区建立联系，该项目正在实现更广泛的影响。
