Conference: Two-Year College Data Science Initiative (TYCDSI) Workshop

该项目旨在通过邀请两年制大学教师参加旨在开发新的数据科学副学士学位途径的研讨会，为国家利益服务。通过促进合作和知识交流，该项目寻求创建一个强大的实践社区，将从事此类项目的教职员工相互联系起来，并为他们提供发展这一研究领域所需的基本知识和技能。这一努力将扩大编程，让学生在新兴领域追求令人兴奋的新职业道路。这一倡议与推进知识前沿、加强国家科学基础设施和培养多样化、熟练劳动力的使命无缝结合。为期两年的大学数据科学倡议项目将支持为两年制大学教职员工举办的研讨会，这些教师致力于在其机构开发数据科学项目。研讨会的主题包括组建跨学科团队、审查示范数据科学课程、与本科院校建立合作伙伴关系、研究地区劳动力需求和项目评估。研讨会结束后，与会者将继续作为美国两年制学院数学协会(AMATYC)内的实践社区(COP)建立联系。参与者将培养在其机构创建数据科学转移项目所需的技能和信心，包括项目开发计划、启动与合作机构的衔接协议以及项目开发和评估计划。NSF IUSE：两年制大学STEM教育创新(ITYC)计划 寻求 to Accelerate 两年制本科STEM教育中新兴和循证实践的影响和促进知识。 该奖项反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This project aims to serve the national interest by engaging two-year college faculty in a workshop aimed at developing new data science associate degree pathways. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, this project seeks to create a robust community of practice that will connect faculty working on such programs with one another and provide them with essential knowledge and skills needed to evolve this field of study. This endeavor will expand programming for students to pursue exciting new career paths in an emerging field. This initiative aligns seamlessly with the mission to advance the frontiers of knowledge, strengthen the Nation's scientific infrastructure, and cultivate a diverse, skilled workforce.The Two-Year College Data Science Initiative project will support a workshop for two-year college faculty working to develop data science programs at their institutions. Workshop topics include forming interdisciplinary teams, examining exemplary data science curricula, establishing partnerships with baccalaureate institutions, researching regional workforce needs, and program evaluation. After the workshop, participants will continue to connect as a community of practice (CoP) within the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC). Participants will develop skills and confidence needed to create data science transfer programs at their institution, including a plan for program development, initiating articulation agreements with partner institutions, and plans for program development and evaluation. The NSF IUSE: Innovation in Two-Year College STEM Education (ITYC) Program seeks to accelerate the impact of and advance knowledge about emerging and evidence-based practices in undergraduate STEM education at two-year colleges. 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.
