Articulated Project for the Preparation of Instrumentation and Control Technicians

该项目正在现有AETE认可的电子和计算机工程技术(ECET)课程中开发一门仪器和控制工程技术(ICET)课程。这一努力使萨凡纳技术学院(STC)和历史上的黑人大学萨凡纳州立大学(SSU)结成了明确的合作伙伴关系，为副学士学位或四年制课程提供新的和潜在的学生途径。该伙伴关系还包括行业代表，他们为促进改善工程技术人员的教育提供重要意见。该项目开发和实施了ICET课程，以确保和维持在萨凡纳沿海地区和其他地区迅速崛起的工业应用中仪表和控制工程技术方面知识不足的学生的入学和毕业。ICET课程包括正式的课程作业、实验室作业和工业实习。该项目人口代表性不足的招聘活动有助于提高工程技术员的入学率和毕业率，通过提高技术员的技能来满足劳动力需求，并通过改善STEM准备来满足学生的需求。课程符合教资会认可的国家标准。该项目还对区域和国家经济产生广泛影响，并通过基于网络的材料传播国际教育与技术中心的课程和其他活动。

This project is developing a curriculum in Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology (ICET) within the existing ABET accredited Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) program. This effort engages Savannah Technical College (STC) and Savannah State University (SSU), a Historically Black University, in an articulated partnership, which provides new and prospective student pathways either to associate degrees or four year programs. The partnership also includes industry representatives who provide critical input to promote improvement in the education of engineering technicians. The project develops and implements an ICET curriculum that ensures and sustains the enrollment and graduation of underrepresented students knowledgeable in instrumentation and control engineering technology for rapidly emerging industrial applications in the Savannah coastal region and beyond. The ICET curriculum consists of formal course work, laboratory work, and internships in industry. The project's recruitment activities with underrepresented population contributes to increased enrollment and graduation rates of engineering technicians to meet workforce demands by improving technician skills and meeting student needs by improving their STEM preparation. The curriculum meets the national standards as affirmed by ABET accreditation. The project also has broad range impact on the regional and national economy and disseminates the ICET curriculum and other activities through web based materials.
