Increasing the ImPACT

迈阿密大学米德尔敦分校和化学技术促进伙伴关系联合会正在开展一个为期三年的项目，题为“增加化学技术促进伙伴关系”，该项目以国家努力为基础，扩大国家努力，积极加强和增加获得化学技术教育的机会。该项目正在开展三类活动：⑴加强教师队伍-为200名教育工作者举办10次教师/教师发展讲习班; ⑵编写教材-编写一本专著，编写第二本专著，并通过测试阶段编写，以及编写一张光盘; 3）建立网络，以增加对化学技术学生的影响-合作项目包括主办PACT论坛，编写和分发关于化学技术的职业手册：选择的职业，建立和记录的技术人员在居住计划的模型，并开发一个化学技术学生项目奖励计划。为了完成这些活动，PACT正在汇集化学技术教育领域公认的领导者，化学工业巨头以及改善专业协会先进技术教育运动的先驱者的综合人才，经验和专业知识。

Miami University Middletown and the Partnership for the Advancement of Chemical Technology (PACT) Consortium is conducting a three-year project entitled "Increasing the ImPACT," which builds upon and expands national efforts to proactively enhance and increase access to chemical technology education. Three categories of initiatives are being conducted in this project: 1) faculty enhancement -- 10 faculty/teacher development workshops servicing 200 educators are being offered; 2) curricular materials development -- preparation of one monograph and a second one through the testing stage and one CD-ROM; 3) networking to increase the impact on chemical technology students -- collaborative projects including hosting PACT forums, developing and disseminating a career brochure on Chemical Technology: A Career of Choice, establishing and documenting models for a technicians-in-residence program, and developing a chemical technology student project award program. To accomplish these activities PACT is marshaling the combined talents, experience, and expertise of recognized leaders in chemical technology education, giants in the chemical industry, and the forerunners in the movement to improve advanced technology education from professional societies.
