As partnership between community college leaders and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), this project aims to broaden the participation and increase the success of diverse students, particularly under-represented minorities. This project will convene a conference for community college administrators, engineering faculty and engineering technology faculty with the following goals: 1) identify the obstacles which prevent and best practices that promote diverse community college students to successfully navigate pathways to degree attainment; 2) establish working groups of community college professionals to continue to work on specific engineering education challenges that surface during this conference; 3) better integrate community college leadership and educators into ASEE’s extensive network of members and resources; and 4) expand ASEE’s Diversity Recognition Program (ADRP) to include community colleges recognizing their unique strengths and needs. This convening is the precursor for additional future meetings to be held virtually and at ASEE national conferences.

This convening is the precursor for additional future meetings to be held virtually and at ASEE national conferences. The conference will be held in the fall of 2023 on Ivy Tech Community College’s campus in Indianapolis. To maximize scale and impact, the focus of this effort is on the larger community college systems or multi-campus colleges with multiple faculty and at least one hundred students in pre-engineering, engineering, or engineering technology programs. This conference will produce the following products: 1) a plan for a physical and an electronic community linking engineering and engineering technology community college faculty in support of enhanced student learning and transfer success with particular attention to populations underrepresented in engineering and engineering technology; 2) a plan for a physical and an electronic community linking community college administrators in support of more effective teaching by engineering and engineering technology faculty as well as recruitment/retainment of more diverse faculty; 3) a plan for incentivizing and recognizing community college commitment to and success at diversifying their student and faculty populations including participation in the ADRP program; and 4) a plan for continuing conversations towards the reimagining of engineering and engineering technology at a national level.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.

作为社区大学领导人和美国工程教育学会(ASEE)之间的合作伙伴关系，该项目旨在扩大不同学生的参与，提高他们的成功，特别是代表不足的少数族裔。该项目将为社区学院管理者、工程教师和工程技术教师召开一次会议，目标如下：1)找出阻碍不同社区学院学生顺利获得学位的障碍和最佳实践；2)建立社区学院专业人员工作组，以继续应对会议期间出现的具体工程教育挑战；3)更好地将社区学院领导层和教育工作者整合到ASEE广泛的成员和资源网络中；以及4)扩展ASEE的多样性认可计划(ADRP)，将社区学院纳入其中，承认它们的独特优势和需求。这次会议是今后举行更多会议的前奏，这些会议将虚拟地在ASEE国家会议上举行。作为社区大学领导人和美国工程教育学会(ASEE)之间的合作伙伴关系，该项目旨在扩大不同学生的参与，提高他们的成功，特别是代表不足的少数族裔。该项目将为社区学院管理者、工程教师和工程技术教师召开一次会议，目标如下：1)找出阻碍不同社区学院学生顺利获得学位的障碍和最佳实践；2)建立社区学院专业人员工作组，以继续应对会议期间出现的具体工程教育挑战；3)更好地将社区学院领导层和教育工作者整合到ASEE广泛的成员和资源网络中；以及4)扩展ASEE的多样性认可计划(ADRP)，将社区学院纳入其中，承认它们的独特优势和需求。这次会议是今后举行更多会议的前奏，这些会议将虚拟地在ASEE国家会议上举行。会议将于2023年秋季在印第安纳波利斯的常春藤科技社区学院校园举行。为了最大限度地扩大规模和影响，这项工作的重点是更大的社区学院系统或拥有多个教员和至少100名学生的工程预科、工程或工程技术专业的多校区大学。这次会议将产生以下产品：1)一个连接工程和工程技术社区学院教员的实体和电子社区计划，以支持增强学生的学习和转移成功，并特别关注在工程和工程技术方面代表性不足的人群；2)一个链接社区学院管理人员的实体和电子社区计划，以支持工程和工程技术教师更有效的教学以及招聘/保留更多不同的教师；3)激励和认可社区大学致力于和成功地实现学生和教职员工多样化的计划，包括参与ADRP计划；以及4)继续讨论在国家一级重新构思工程和工程技术的计划。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。
