Interdisciplinary Laboratory Science Technology Program

卑尔根社区学院和帕塞伊克县社区学院正在与四年制大学和行业代表合作开展跨学科科学技术（IST）项目。该项目旨在满足行业雇主的需求，包括对跨学科科学技术人员的日益增长的需求，这些技术人员可以使用各种分析仪器，并处理快速变化的任务，可变功能和多元文化团队的新就业现实。社区学院的教师和来自四年制大学的专家顾问以及该地区高科技行业的雇主将开发、实施和评估一个基础广泛的跨学科a.s.课程，以便：使学生能够有效地使用商业和工业雇主所要求的各种现代实验室设备和分析方法。帮助学生获得基于互动课堂的关于工作的体验式学习。创建互动的跨学科学习模块，模拟工作场所的问题、活动和任务。整合实验室实习、基于工作的学习经历和导师关系。安排同伴支持小组和一系列学术支持服务，以确保学生保留，完成学业，就业或继续教育，特别是在代表性不足的人群中。

Bergen Community College and Passaic County Community College are collaborating with four-year colleges and industry representatives on the Interdisciplinary Science Technology (IST) project. This project is designed to meet needs identified by industry employers, including a growing demand for interdisciplinary science technologists who can use a variety of analytical instruments and deal with the new employment realities of rapidly changing assignments, variable functions, and multicultural teams. Community college faculty and expert advisors from four-year colleges and from high technology industry employers in the region will develop, implement, and evaluate a broad-based Interdisciplinary A.A. S. curriculum to: 1. Prepare students to effectively use a variety of modern laboratory equipment and analytical methods required by business and industry employers.2. Help students gain interactive classroom based experiential learning about work.3. Create interactive interdisciplinary learning modules that simulate workplace problems, activities, and assignments.4. Integrate laboratory internships, work based learning experiences, and mentor relationships.5. Arrange peer support groups and an array of academic supportive services that will ensure student retention, completion, and employment or further education, especially among under-represented populations.
