Operations, Construction and Architecture Technical Education (OCATE) Professional Development

高性能设计、建造和运营（HP-DBO）项目旨在为区域建筑相关行业提供具有可持续发展技能的工人，特别是针对太平洋西北地区的条件。该项目以以前的活动为基础，为太平洋西北地区的教师提供专业发展，如建筑制图和设计、建筑施工技术、建筑维修技术、能源管理和景观技术等领域的可持续发展。这些领域的地区企业已经认识到需要接受可持续技术教育的工人，这将最大限度地减少对生态系统的影响，并最大限度地提高资源效率。夏季可持续发展学院每年向60名教师介绍可持续设计、建筑和运营的核心概念、理论和问题，以便他们将其纳入课程。将提供活动，帮助教员解决代表性不足的少数民族的需要。14名教师参加地区行业资助的实习。与可持续发展有关的教育材料和录象是通过一个网站制作和传播的。提供奖学金是为了增加该项目学生的多样性。评估衡量活动达到目标的程度。

The High Performance Design, Build and Operations (HP-DBO) project is to supply regional building related industries with workers who are skilled in sustainable development particularly for the conditions in the Pacific Northwest. The project builds on previous activities to provide professional development to faculty and teachers in fields such as architectural drafting and design, building construction technology, building maintenance technology, energy management and landscape technology in the Pacific Northwest on sustainable development. Regional businesses in these fields have already identified the need for workers educated in sustainable technologies, which minimizes impact on ecosystems and maximizes resource efficiency. The Summer Sustainability Institutes introduce 60 instructors annually to broad concepts, theories and issues central to sustainable design, building and operations so that they can incorporate them into their courses. Activities to help instructors address the needs of underrepresented minorities will be provided. Fourteen instructors participate in funded externships with regional industry. Sustainability-related educational materials and videos are developed and disseminated through a website. Scholarships are provided to increase the diversity of students in the program. An evaluation measures the extent to which the activities lead to the goal.
