In the Bay Area, there are currently over 10,000 job openings for electronics technicians. In addition, the number of electronics technician jobs is projected to grow at a rate of over 20% within the next ten years. This project aims to meet local workforce needs by developing a new engineering electronics technology program. This program will be developed in partnership with local industry to ensure that graduates of the program have the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to meet this critical local workforce need. The new program has the potential to improve the capacity and quality of the electronics technician workforce in the Bay Area and to serve as a model for building new engineering technology programs. This project will adopt, adapt, and develop courses covering DC and AC circuits, math for electronics, electronics test and measurement, schematic entry, custom cabling, printed circuit board design and manufacturing, soldering and printed circuit board rework, and battery technology. The program will align with the eleven elements of high-quality Career Technical Education programs as outlined by the California Department of Education. The project will include an intensive student support program and a funded internship and job placement program with integrated support from industry partners. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the nation's economy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在湾区，目前有超过10，000个电子技术人员的职位空缺。 此外，电子技术人员的工作数量预计将在未来十年内以超过20%的速度增长。 该项目旨在通过开发新的工程电子技术计划来满足当地的劳动力需求。 该计划将与当地行业合作开发，以确保该计划的毕业生拥有满足这一关键的当地劳动力需求所需的知识，技能和能力。 新计划有可能提高湾区电子技术人员的能力和质量，并成为建立新工程技术计划的典范。该项目将采用，调整和开发涵盖直流和交流电路，电子数学，电子测试和测量，原理图输入，定制布线，印刷电路板设计和制造，焊接和印刷电路板返工以及电池技术的课程。该计划将与加州教育部概述的高质量职业技术教育计划的11个要素保持一致。 该项目将包括一个密集的学生支持计划和一个资助的实习和就业安置计划，并得到行业合作伙伴的综合支持。 该项目由先进技术教育计划资助，该计划侧重于为推动国家经济的先进技术领域培养技术人员。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
