The Advanced Technology Environment and Energy Center: A Resource Center

先进技术环境教育中心（ATEEC）成立于1994年，作为美国国家科学基金会（NSF）的卓越中心，其使命是通过课程开发、专业发展和国家社区学院和中学的项目改进来推进环境技术教育。目前的项目提供了一个全面的，以市场为导向的资源中心，以促进专业发展，教学，培训和支持环境和可持续能源教育计划在中等和高等教育水平。该中心最近更名为先进技术环境与能源中心。这个项目的三个主要目标是：在环境和可持续能源技术领域扩大ATEEC的传播和提供示范教材、课程和教学方法；扩大以网络为基础的数字电子环境资源图书馆，纳入可持续能源技术，并扩大用户基础；并为高中和社区大学教师提供环境和能源技术领域的专业发展机会。ATEEC与商业和工业、教育工作者和政府机构合作，向全国各地的高中和社区大学教育工作者和学生以及技术人员传播环境和能源技术领域的示范教材、课程和资源。本项目利用国家和区域环境技术教育伙伴关系网络、邮件、通讯（印刷和电子）、基于网络的环境技术教育图书馆、印刷信息、展览、区域和国家报告、cd - rom、ATEEC网站和期刊文章来传播项目活动、产品以及环境和能源技术教育信息。

The Advanced Technology Environmental Education Center (ATEEC) was established in 1994 as an NSF ATE Center of Excellence whose mission is to advance environmental technology education through curricula development, professional development, and program improvement in the nation's community colleges and secondary schools. This current project provides a comprehensive, market-driven Resource Center to promote professional development, teaching, training, and support to environmental and sustainable energy educational programs at the secondary and postsecondary levels. The Center has recently been renamed Advanced Technology Environment and Energy Center. The three major goals of this project are to expand ATEEC dissemination and availability of exemplary educational materials, curricula, and pedagogical practices in the areas of environmental and sustainable energy technology; to expand the web-based, digital electronic Environmental Resources Library (eERL) to include sustainable energy technology and expand the user base; and to provide professional development opportunities in the area of environmental and energy technology to high school and community college teachers. ATEEC works with business and industry, educators and government agencies to disseminate exemplary educational materials, curricula and resources in the areas of environmental and energy technology to high school and community college educators and students as well as technicians across the country. This project utilizes the national and regional Partnership for Environmental Technology Education networks, mailings, newsletters (print and electronic), the web-based eERL library, print information, exhibits, regional and national presentations, CD-ROMs, the ATEEC website, and journal articles to disseminate project activities, products, and environmental and energy technology education information.
