Computational Thinking-Enabled STEM Professionals Workshop

计算思维驱动的STEM专业人员研讨会（CTSTEM-PW）是教育发展中心（EDC）、新墨西哥州刺激竞争性研究实验计划（NM-EPSCoR）、英特尔公司、洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室、新墨西哥大学和纳瓦霍技术学院之间的合作项目。这是一个为期六个月的项目，分为两个阶段：(1)研讨会规划阶段，在此阶段，项目团队将与工业界、政府和学术界的主要利益相关者合作，调整和应用劳动力发展工具，以确定工作场所的计算思维需求，并评估这些需求与现有教育产品之间的一致性；(2)举办研讨会，与来自部落学院和西班牙裔服务机构的本科生分享第一阶段的研究成果，并帮助这些学生规划成为ct支持STEM （CTSTEM）专业人员的职业。在培训期间，本科生将熟悉CTSTEM专业人员的主要工作职责和工作活动。他们还将确定为这些职业做准备的课程和基于工作的学习机会，并将制定职业规划，列出CT学习目标、必要的教育活动和实现目标的时间表。简而言之，CTSTEM-PW项目将完善和测试一种创新的研讨会形式，帮助来自弱势背景的本科生在新兴的计算科学和工程领域开展职业生涯。CTSTEM- pw项目将吸引来自学术界、政府和工业界的主要利益相关者来确定CTSTEM劳动力需求，将这些需求映射到现有的教育机会上，并将由此产生的劳动力发展愿景转化为针对具体本科生群体的实用职业建议。通过将试点车间设在新墨西哥州，并同时与世界级技术领导者、当地部落学院和西班牙裔服务机构合作，CTSTEM- pw团队希望开发一个广泛可复制的模板，以深化和多样化全国经济和社会弱势社区的CTSTEM专业人员。

The Computational Thinking-Enabled STEM Professionals' Workshop (CTSTEM-PW) is a collaboration between Education Development Center (EDC), the New Mexico Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NM-EPSCoR), Intel Corporation, Los Alamos National Laboratory, the University of New Mexico, and Navajo Technical College. It is a six-month project with two phases: (1) a workshop-planning phase, in which the project team will collaborate with key stakeholders in industry, government and academia, to adapt and apply workforce-development tools for identifying computational-thinking needs in the workplace and for assessing the alignment between those needs and available educational offerings; and (2) a workshop to share the findings from phase 1 with a group of undergraduate students from Tribal Colleges and Hispanic Serving Institutions, and to assist those students in planning for careers as CT-enabled STEM (CTSTEM) professionals. During the workshop, undergraduate students will become familiar with the major job responsibilities and work activities of CTSTEM professionals. They will also identify the courses and work-based learning opportunities available to prepare for those careers, and will develop a career plan laying out CT learning goals, necessary educational activities, and a timeline for achieving targeted objectives.In short, the CTSTEM-PW project will refine and test an innovative workshop format for helping undergraduate students from disadvantaged backgrounds to launch professional careers in the emerging field of computation-enabled science and engineering. The CTSTEM-PW project will engage key stakeholders from academia, government and industry in determining CTSTEM workforce needs, in mapping those needs onto available educational opportunities, and in translating the resulting workforce-development vision into practical career advice for a concrete group of undergraduate students. By situating the pilot workshop in New Mexico, and by partnering simultaneously both with world-class technology leaders and with local Tribal Colleges and Hispanic Serving Institutions, the CTSTEM-PW team hopes to develop a broadly-replicable template for deepening and diversifying the pool of CTSTEM professionals in economically and socially disadvantaged communities across the nation.
