Marine technology is vital to many aspects of our national economy. This project characterizes and researches trends in the ocean workforce, identifies the knowledge and skills this workforce needs, places this information in the hands of educational institutions at all levels, and works to ensure that curricula and programs are appropriately preparing students for the workplace. MATE's programs represent unique approaches to engaging students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning experiences and developing the capacity for increasing the nation's technological workforce. As a Support Center for marine technology education, the MATE Center will: 1. Expand and strengthen partnerships with academic institutions, employers, and professional societies to better prepare students for the ocean workforce. 2. Develop an international remotely operated vehicle (ROV) technician competency and assessment program endorsed by industry. 3. Continue to improve student learning in STEM through activities such as regional and international underwater robotics (ROV) competitions that simulate the high performance workplace and build academic and industry partnerships. 4. Offer faculty professional development institutes that focus on marine technology, create an awareness of ocean-related careers, and empower instructors to deliver interdisciplinary, technology-rich learning experiences to their students. 5. Continue the MATE at-sea technical internship program and increase the numbers of underrepresented students participating in the program. 6. Disseminate MATE products, including curricula, textbooks, occupational guidelines, competencies, and procedural guides, in both traditional formats and electronically through the Center's web sites www.marinetech.org and www.OceanCareers.com. The MATE Center's breadth of academic, industry, and professional society partnerships support the development, testing, and widespread implementation of exceptional marine technical education programs, instructional materials, activities, and the dissemination of these innovative resources. This, in turn, strengthens linkages between educational programs; catalyzes other activities that provide students with additional educational opportunities and pathways to careers; and helps to address both regional and national marine technical workforce needs. These efforts will prepare a diverse workforce that will help ensure U.S. competitiveness in a global economy that is currently, and increasingly, dependent on ocean activities.

海洋技术对我国国民经济的许多方面至关重要。该项目描述和研究海洋劳动力的趋势，确定这支劳动力所需的知识和技能，将这些信息交给各级教育机构，并努力确保课程和计划为学生的工作做好适当的准备。MATE的课程代表了让学生参与科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学习体验并发展增加国家技术劳动力的能力的独特方法。 作为海洋技术教育的支持中心，MATE中心将：1。扩大和加强与学术机构，雇主和专业协会的伙伴关系，以更好地为学生的海洋劳动力做好准备。2.制定一项国际遥控飞行器技术人员能力和评估计划，并得到行业认可。3.继续通过区域和国际水下机器人比赛等活动提高学生在STEM方面的学习，这些比赛模拟高性能工作场所并建立学术和行业合作伙伴关系。4.提供专注于海洋技术的教师专业发展机构，创造海洋相关职业的意识，并授权教师为学生提供跨学科，技术丰富的学习经验。5.继续MATE海上技术实习计划，并增加参与该计划的代表性不足的学生人数。6.传播MATE产品，包括课程、教科书、职业指南、能力和程序指南，既可以采用传统格式，也可以通过中心的网站www.marinetech.org和www.OceanCareers.com以电子方式传播。MATE中心广泛的学术，工业和专业社会合作伙伴关系支持开发，测试和广泛实施卓越的海洋技术教育计划，教学材料，活动以及这些创新资源的传播。这反过来又加强了教育方案之间的联系;促进了为学生提供更多教育机会和职业途径的其他活动;并有助于满足区域和国家海洋技术劳动力的需求。这些努力将为多样化的劳动力做好准备，这将有助于确保美国在目前越来越依赖海洋活动的全球经济中的竞争力。
