Integrating Nanotechnology and Technician Education into the Curriculum

米德尔塞克斯社区学院为期两年的ATE项目侧重于将纳米技术和技术人员教育纳入课程（INTEC），以支持劳动力发展和学生向科学和工程学士学位课程的转移。该项目包括深入的劳动力需求和工作技能分析，以确定与纳米技术和其他相关新兴技术有关的区域技术劳动力需求。 此外，该项目还包括教师纳米技术的专业发展以及课程的制定和修订，以将纳米技术纳入当前的课程，以应对劳动力需求分析。 该项目正在建设机构能力，以提供教育和培训，支持未来与纳米技术和其他新兴技术有关的劳动力发展。 该项目的其他参与者包括北岸社区学院和具有广泛纳米技术研究的大学：洛厄尔的马萨诸塞州大学、东北大学和阿默斯特的马萨诸塞州大学。

Middlesex Community College's two-year ATE project focuses on Integrating Nanotechnology and Technician Education into the Curriculum (INTEC) to support workforce development and transfer of students to baccalaureate programs in the sciences and engineering. The project includes an in-depth workforce needs and job skills analysis to determine the regional technical workforce requirements related to nanotechnology and other relevant emerging technologies. In addition, the project includes professional development in nanotechnology for faculty and the development and the revision of curriculum to integrate nanotechnology into current courses in response to the workforce needs analysis. The project is building institutional capacity to provide education and training to support future workforce development related to nanotechnology and other emerging technologies. Other participants in the project include North Shore Community College and universities with extensive nanotechnology research: the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, Northeastern University, and University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
