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.

该项目正在开发和主办两个研讨会，每年一个，帮助建立地区技术劳动力雇主和新墨西哥州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所需工程技术人员和工程技能、行业赞助的学生项目以及当前工程技术人员和工程师的短期培训课程的主题。该项目利用新墨西哥州农村、美国原住民和西班牙裔学生在基于项目的工作中对自然资源管理的文化价值观来帮助他们取得成功。行业赞助的学生项目和正在开发的教学活动正在以变革性的方式结合现实世界的行业问题、技术、实地研究和学生项目工作，以吸引新墨西哥州农村地区的两年制社区大学学生。该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，并为这些学生在日益增长的地区技术劳动力中服务做好准备。成立一个常设的行业咨询委员会有助于保持新墨西哥州州立大学(NMSU)助学金、其他新墨西哥州两年制社区学院和地区技术劳动力雇主之间的联系，从而使NMSU助学金和新墨西哥州的工程技术员和工程项目继续保持相关性和增长。该项目的更广泛影响正在通过分发学习成果、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职员工和更广泛的ATE社区联系来实现。
