CAPTIVATE: Collaboratory Achievement Project To Impact the Value of Architecture & Engineering Technology Education

洛杉矶皮尔斯学院工程图形与设计技术（EG&amp；DT）和建筑技术（AT）课程通过为学生提供开发和实施社区问题解决方案的机会，弥合了学习与感知相关性之间的脱节。该项目复制了专业经验，同时为社会提供直接利益，因为学生在多学科合作的环境中设计和实施现有问题的解决方案。影响建筑工程技术教育价值的合作成果项目（CAPTIVATE）开发了一个项目，让学生参与到有效的角色模型中，获得文化响应经验，并认识到eg&dt和AT项目是通往具有社会影响的职业的途径。这种方法对学生、校园、雇主和社区都有好处。洛杉矶皮尔斯学院致力于在体验式学习环境中培养学生的内在动力，以促进他们获得证书并加强他们的21世纪技能，特别是解决问题和合作能力。CAPTIVATE协调课程和课外项目，包括六个关键组成部分：基于项目的学习、多学科合作、现实世界的联系、社区伙伴关系、切实影响和环境可持续性。洛杉矶皮尔斯学院将通过调整课程与劳动力需求，并为整个行业提供有意义的参与渠道，加强与地区企业的合作关系。洛杉矶皮尔斯学院正在开发一个可复制的框架，包括一般和项目具体结果。通过该项目开发的模型将与其他希望在其项目中做出有意义改变的机构和教师共享。

Los Angeles Pierce College Engineering Graphics & Design Technology (EG&DT) and Architecture Technology (AT) programs are bridging the disconnect between learning and perceived relevance by providing students with opportunities to develop and implement solutions to problems in their community. The project replicates professional experiences while providing direct benefits to society as students design and implement solutions to existing problems in a multidisciplinary, collaborative environment. The Collaboratory Achievement Project To Impact the Value of Architecture & Engineering Technology Education (CAPTIVATE) develops a program where students engage with effective role models, have culturally responsive experiences, and recognize the EG&DT and AT programs as a pathway to professions with social impact. This approach benefits students, campus, employers, and the community.Los Angeles Pierce College is working to engage EG&DT and AT students in an experiential learning environment that fosters students' intrinsic motivation in order to advance them toward a credential and strengthen their 21st century skills, particularly problem-solving and collaboration. CAPTIVATE coordinates curricular and extracurricular projects consisting of six key components: project-based learning, multidisciplinary collaboration, real-world connection, community partnerships, tangible impact, and environmental sustainability. Los Angeles Pierce College will strengthen its partnerships with area businesses by aligning curriculum with workforce needs, and providing a conduit for meaningful engagement across the sector. Los Angeles Pierce College is developing a replicable framework that includes generalized and project specific outcomes. Models developed through this project will be shared with other institutions and faculty that are looking to make meaningful change in their programs.
