2YR - 4YR ENGINEERING/TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PILOT

摘要：充分利用社区学院作为理工科专业人才的生源，是国家建设理工科专业人才队伍的重要组成部分。美国的科技政策。奥巴马总统强调了科学技术对国家的重要性。他谈到了奥巴马未来的竞争力和福利、社区学院在美国高等教育中的重要性，以及他打算把社区学院作为其增加大学毕业生数量战略的关键部分。在工程和工程技术社区中，社区学院最关键的作用是提供工程和工程技术学士学位课程。事实上，一些州（如加利福尼亚和佛罗里达）明确地将社区学院作为学生在各个领域寻求学士学位的关键途径。这一努力的智力价值在于对两年制和四年制大学的入学情况、学位获得情况和e/et学生转学情况进行试点调查。这可以在50所（35所2年制和15所4年制）院校的试点中实施。数据将有助于更好地理解和加强社区学院在促进工程学士人数方面的作用。这个项目的直接影响将是从社区大学电子教育学生试点人群中确定电子教育关键数据，并将他们转到学士电子教育项目。

Abstract:Taking full advantage of community colleges as sources of science and engineering majors is an important component of the nation?s science and technology policy. President Obama has emphasized the criticality of science and technology to the nation?s future competitiveness and welfare, the importance of community colleges within US higher education, and his intention to focus on community colleges as a key part of his strategy to increase the number of college graduates.Within the engineering and engineering technology communities, the most critical role of community colleges is as feeders to baccalaureate engineering and engineering technology programs. Indeed, some states (e.g., California and Florida) explicitly depend on community colleges as a key pathway for students seeking baccalaureate degrees in all fields.The intellectual merit of this effort is to conduct a pilot surveying of 2-year and 4-year colleges about enrollments, degree attainments, and transfers by e/et students. This can be implemented in a pilot of 50 (35 2-year and 15 4-year) institutions. Data will assist with better understanding and enhancing the role of community colleges in contributing to the baccalaureate engineering population. The immediate impact of this project will be on determining e/et key data from a pilot population of community college e/et students and their transfer to baccalaureate e/et programs.
