New Economy Technician: A Dissemination Project of MATEC

Marvila先进技术教育中心（MATEC）正在转型为NSF在半导体行业教育领域的技能标准，想法，材料，联系和指导的领先传播中心。自1996年以来，MATEC与行业和教育工作者合作，将半导体制造技术（SMT）项目的数量从32个增加到80个;创建了行业第一个国家技能标准;并通过独特的电子交付系统开发和分发了44个学习材料模块。作为一个传播中心，MATEC的目标是：1）到2005年，激励全国至少50%的SMT教师采用MATEC学习系统，部分是通过开发行业认可的ChipReady工作筛选评估; 2）在全国SMT教师中传播最佳实践和新思想。MATEC继续使用过去六年中开发的传播工具（采用者和专题讲习班、网站、季度印刷通讯和电子邮件公告、出席会议、教师发展和赞助行业最有影响力的年度劳动力发展会议）。MATEC还在开发五种新的传播工具（学习发明实验室、课程计划识别、示范教师视频、与亚利桑那州立大学东分校合作、与行业劳动力开发人员合作）。

The Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC) is transitioning to serve as the NSF's leading dissemination center for skill standards, ideas, materials, contacts, and mentoring in the field of semiconductor industry education. Since 1996 MATEC has collaborated with industry and educators to increase the number of semiconductor manufacturing technology (SMT) programs from 32 to 80; create the industry's first national skill standards; and develop and distribute 44 modules of learning materials through a unique electronic delivery system. As a dissemination center, MATEC's goals are 1) to motivate at least 50 percent of the nation's SMT faculty to adopt the MATEC learning system by 2005, in part by developing an industry-accepted ChipReady job-screening assessment; and 2) to broadcast best practices and new ideas among SMT faculty nationwide. MATEC continues to use the dissemination vehicles developed in the last six years (adopter and topic workshops, Web site, quarterly print newsletter and e-mail bulletins, conference attendance, faculty development, and sponsorship of the industry's most influential annual workforce development conference). MATEC is also developing five new dissemination vehicles (Learning Invention Lab, lesson plan recognition, exemplary instructor video, collaboration with Arizona State University East, collaboration with industry workforce developers).
