A Partnership for Computer-Based Curriculum Development in Atmospheric Technology

标题：大气技术计算机课程开发伙伴关系 该项目的目标是开发大气层技术方面的计算机交互式培训单元，其目的是使全国社区学院的环境技术学位课程大量参与。该项目涉及ATE项目所描述的三项活动中的每一项：（a）课程和教材开发，（B）教师和教师增强，以及（c）仪器和实验室改进。项目目标是：（1）提供大气技术方面的训练，使学生能为从事空气质量监测和气象数据应用等职业作好充分准备;（2）制订暑期工作坊计划，培训社区学院教师，使他们能把以计算机为基础的训练单元与环境技术应用的实地和实验室仪器结合起来。 该项目是沙漠研究所（DRI）、内华达州大学和社区学院系统、科罗拉多山区学院（CMC）和大学大气研究公司（UCAR）的合作努力。DRI在10，500英尺的山顶上运营着一个研究实验室。位于山顶，距离CMC Alpine Campus不到5英里，将作为培训模块教学图形，视频和数据集开发的现场和教室位置。实验室和共同定位的社区学院校园也将举办教师研讨会。CMC、DRI和UCAR科学家和教师之间的合作伙伴关系包括基于计算机的培训模块的设计、开发、评估和传播。特别确定了一个少数民族群体，即美洲原住民，以加强外联活动。此外，一个由代表工业界、政府机构和环境教育团体的成员组成的咨询委员会将对技术课程内容和就业目标提供指导。

Title: A Partnership for Computer-Based Curriculum Development in Atmospheric Technology The objective of this project is to develop computer-interactive training modules in Atmospheric Technology, which are designed to significantly involve environmental technology degree curricula at community colleges nationwide. The project addresses each of the three activities described for an ATE Project (a) Curriculum and Instructional Materials Development, (b) Teacher and Faculty Enhancement, and (c) Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement. Project goals are: (1) Provide training in Atmospheric Technology which adequately prepares students for employment in careers such as air quality monitoring and meteorological data applications; and (2) Develop a summer workshop program to train community college teachers to incorporate the computer-based training modules with field and laboratory instrumentation for environmental technology applications. The project is a collaborative effort of the Desert Research Institute (DRI), of the University and Community College System of Nevada, the Colorado Mountain College (CMC), and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). The DRI operates a mountaintop research laboratory on a 10,500 ft. peak, within 5 miles of the CMC Alpine Campus, which will serve as a field and classroom location for the development of instructional graphics, video and datasets for the training modules. The laboratory and co-located community college campus will also host the teacher workshops. The partnership between the CMC, DRI and UCAR scientists and faculty includes the design, development, assessment and dissemination of the computer-based training modules. A minority population group, Native Americans, is specifically identified for enhanced outreach activities. In addition, an Advisory Committee with members representing industry, government agency, and environmental education groups will provide guidance on the technology curriculum content and empl oyment targets.
