PRAISE- Partnering Regional Academia with Industry to Strengthen Education in Secure Internet Application Development

该项目正在建立工业界、学术界和高中的区域合作伙伴关系，以更有效地招聘和培养熟练和多样化的网络和移动的程序员队伍，他们可以设计和创建安全的、数据驱动的网络和移动的软件应用程序，以满足普吉特海湾地区未满足的就业需求。具体而言，该项目与以下合作伙伴合作：1。通过夏令营和Career Start计划，当地高中增加学生培训的数量和多样性，以成为网络和移动的程序员，通过该计划，学生可以在高中时获得网络/移动的编程的专业技术学位。2.通过网络活动和行业研究员计划，一名教师和一名行业专业人员在课堂上配对，提高学生的工作准备，指导和安置。3.一所四年制大学开发反向转移计划，为大学生提供获得网络/移动的编程证书的机会，同时获得相关的真实的世界经验和实践工作技能，或在转移后完成两年制学位。这些举措的目标是通过接触代表性不足的群体，加强工作技能和为程序毕业生的就业市场做准备，增加作为网络/移动的程序员进入劳动力市场的学生人数。该学院正在与西雅图中央社区学院（SCCC）和华盛顿塔科马大学（UWT）密切合作，以实现这些目标。这些努力的主要受众是高中生和两年制大学生。智力优势：该项目使用了几种创新技术，可作为广泛领域其他项目的典范。第一个是行业研究员计划，该计划将工作专业人员融入关键课程。第二个是一个独特的反向转移计划，允许学生自由地从四年制大学转到社区学院，以满足他们的个人教育目标。反向转移计划正在改善社区学院和大学之间的衔接，并有助于终身学习。更广泛的影响：该方案通过有针对性的招聘，特别是向学生人数众多的当地高中提供培训，在一个需求未得到满足的地区提供一支多样化和训练有素的技术人员队伍。该项目正在加强高中和社区学院之间、学院和产业之间以及学院和大学之间的伙伴关系。为了给其他机构提供一个模式，正在广泛传播该项目的成果和课程产品。

This project is creating a regional partnership of industry, academia, and high schools to more effectively recruit and prepare a skilled and diverse workforce of web and mobile programmers who can design and create secure, data-driven web and mobile software applications to fill unmet job demand in the Puget Sound region. Specifically, the project is partnering with: 1. local high schools to increase the number and diversity of students training to become web and mobile programmers through summer camps and Career Start, a program through which students may earn a professional-technical degree in web/mobile programming while still in high school. 2. industry to improve student job preparation, mentoring, and placement through networking events and the Industry Fellows program, where a faculty member and an industry professional are paired in the classroom. 3. a four-year university to develop a Reverse Transfer program, providing opportunities for university students to earn certificates in web/mobile programming while gaining relevant real world experience and hands-on job skills or complete two-year degrees after transferring. The goal of these initiatives is to increase the number of students entering the workforce as web/mobile programmers by reaching out to underrepresented groups and strengthening job skills and preparation for the job market for program graduates. The college is working closely with Seattle Central Community College (SCCC) and the University of Washington Tacoma (UWT) to accomplish these goals. The primary audiences for these efforts are high school and two-year college students. Intellectual Merit: This project is using several innovative techniques that serve as a model for other programs in a wide range of fields. The first is the Industry Fellows program, which integrates a working professional into key courses. The second is a unique Reverse Transfer program, which allows students to freely move from a four-year university to the community college to meet their personal educational goals. The Reverse Transfer program is improving articulation between the community college and the university and contributing to life-long learning. Broader Impacts: This program is supplying a cadre of diverse and well-trained technicians in an area of large unmet need through targeted recruitment, particularly outreach to local high schools with diverse student populations. The project is strengthening partnerships between high schools and the community college, between the college and industry, and between the college and university. In order to provide a model for other institutions, results and curricular products from this project are being broadly disseminated.
