NSF Faculty Workshop

该项目是由南阿肯色大学理工学院（SAU Tech）为南阿肯色社区学院教师举办的为期一天的NSF研讨会，旨在增加该州南部地区的NSF项目数量，并增加该地区的STEM知识。年代人口。该研讨会旨在提高阿肯色州南部社区大学教师准备国家科学基金会提案的能力，并在获奖提案中担任项目负责人。这有可能加强阿肯色州就业基地的STEM知识，这是阿肯色州在世界经济中保持竞争力所迫切需要的。该项目的最终目标是增加阿肯色州南部的STEM知识，这不仅对当地经济，而且对整个州都有深远的影响。学院位于高地工业园区，这是美国南部最大的私营工业园区。学院有能力与行业建立合作伙伴关系，开发新的项目，通过国家科学基金会资助的项目提高行业生产。园区内的跨国公司和SAU Tech之间的关系有可能影响与其他公司和全州其他社区学院之间关系的发展。使教师具备国家科学基金会的知识，以及他们在开发和实施项目中所能发挥的作用，对这个项目至关重要。

This project is a one-day NSF workshop hosted by South Arkansas University Tech (SAU Tech) for community college faculty in south Arkansas in an attempt to increase the number of NSF projects in the southern part of the state as well as increase the STEM knowledge in the area?s population.The workshop aims to increase the ability of community college faculty in the southern part of Arkansas to prepare NSF proposals and to act as a PI on awarded proposals. This has the potential to bolster the STEM knowledge in the employment base in Arkansas, something that Arkansas desperately needs to stay competitive in the world economy. The eventual goal of this project to increase STEM knowledge in south Arkansas will have far reaching impacts with not only the local economy but the state as well. The college is located in Highland Industrial Park, the largest privately owned industrial park in the southern part of the nation. The college has the ability to forge partnerships with industries in developing new programs that will enhance the industries production through NSF funded projects. The relationship between multi-national corporations in the park and SAU Tech has the potential to influence the development of relationships with other corporations with other community colleges all across the state. Equipping faculty with knowledge of NSF and the role they can play in developing and conducting projects is essential to this project.
