As local industries implement cloud-based solutions, there is an increasing need of skilled technicians to implement, maintain, and troubleshoot cloud services. This project team plans to design the curricula for a degree in Cloud Administration Technology with the input from local industry representatives to meet industry workforce needs. Students will get training related to networking, Internet of Things (IoT), programming, virtualization, and cloud computing. The project will take an interdisciplinary approach to prepare students to transfer their knowledge and skills to the workforce. The proposed project has the potential to grow the local talent-pool of cloud service technicians and provide a model curriculum informed by industry's needs for other community colleges to use.The three main goals of this project are: (1) to design a new curriculum leading to an AAS degree and/or a certificate in Cloud Administration Technology, (2) to increase the supply and diversity of the IT workforce in the Mississippi Gulf Coast region by increasing the enrollment of military veterans, removing obstacles for attendance of other students, and incorporating devices specific to students with special needs, and (3) to improve curriculum for the existing certificate in IoT and Smart Technology. The project team intends to work with local industry and high schools to enhance existing courses and develop new courses, while making the program more accessible to all students. The proposed curricula will be disseminated on the ATE Central website and outcomes will be shared locally at the biannual advisory committee meetings. The project team will attend and present at the annual ATE PI conference, as well other professional development conferences and workshops. 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.

随着当地行业实施基于云的解决方案，对实施、维护和故障排除云服务的熟练技术人员的需求日益增加。该项目团队计划根据当地行业代表的意见设计云管理技术学位的课程，以满足行业劳动力需求。学生将获得与网络、物联网(IoT)、编程、虚拟化和云计算相关的培训。该项目将采取跨学科的方法，为学生将他们的知识和技能转移到劳动力市场做好准备。拟议的项目有可能扩大当地的云服务技术员人才库，并提供一个了解行业需求的示范课程，供其他社区学院使用。该项目的三个主要目标是：(1)设计一个新的课程，导致获得云管理技术学位和/或证书，(2)通过增加退伍军人的入学人数，消除其他学生的入学障碍，并纳入特定于特殊需求学生的设备，来增加密西西比湾沿岸地区IT劳动力的供应和多样性，以及(3)改进现有物联网和智能技术证书的课程。该项目团队打算与当地行业和高中合作，加强现有课程并开发新课程，同时使该项目更容易为所有学生所接受。拟议课程将在ATE中央网站上散发，并将在当地咨询委员会一年两次的会议上分享成果。项目组将出席并出席一年一度的ATE国际会议以及其他专业发展会议和研讨会。该项目由高级技术教育计划资助，该计划专注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优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
