Chemical Technology Education Collaborative (ChemTEC): Advanced Technology Education Project

迈阿密大学米德尔顿大学的Chemtec项目继续建立在稳固的化学技术促进伙伴(PACT)联盟和全国公认的卓越科学合作伙伴工业/学术伙伴关系的基础上。通过所有利益相关者之间的合作，Chemtec项目有六个目标(与获得竞争优势的六个主题平行)：1)提高化学技术人员、化学技术教育工作者和化学技术学生的专业性；2)加强和扩大利益相关者现有的合作；3)赋予化学技术教育工作者内容和教学知识、时间、资源和专业支持；4)与业界合作，与最新技术发展保持同步，以更好地为化学技术学生在当今经济环境中竞争做好准备；5)开发、出版和分发内容丰富、教学合理的课程材料；以及6)为中学阶段开发课程材料，让学生参与实验室驱动的挑战。为了实现这些目标，Chemtec项目规划侧重于六项倡议：建立实践社区的网络、研究概况项目、化学和相关技术教育的课程材料、教育工作者的专业发展机会、学生规划以及传播和外联。

Miami University Middletown's ChemTEC project continues to build on the solidly established Partnership for the Advancement of Chemical Technology (PACT) Consortium and the nationally recognized Partners for Terrific Science industrial/academic partnership. Through collaboration among all stakeholders, the ChemTEC project has six goals (which parallel the six themes in Gaining the Competitive Edge): 1) advancing the professional nature of chemical technicians, chemical technology educators, and students of chemical technology; 2) strengthening and expanding existing collaborations of stakeholders; 3) empowering chemical technology educators with content and pedagogical knowledge, time, resources, and professional support; 4) collaborating with industry to keep abreast of the latest technological developments to better prepare chemical technology students to compete in today's economic environment; 5) developing, publishing, and distributing content-rich, pedagogically sound curricular materials; and 6) developing curricular materials for the secondary school level that engage students in laboratory-driven challenges. To accomplish these goals, ChemTEC project programming focuses on six initiatives; Networking to Build a Community of Practice, Research Profile Project, Curricular Materials for Chemical and Related Technology Education, Professional Development Opportunities for Educators, Student Programming, and Dissemination and Outreach.
