Book Description
This publication profiles the strategies and best practices of Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Centers in developing faculty skills, cultivating partnerships, implementing new curricula, recruiting students, preparing for change, utilizing advisors, managing organizations, and nurturing leaders. In this report, ATE center leaders share with community college administrators, faculty, and other stakeholders what they have learned while carrying out their ATE grants. Although their experiences could fill volumes, each was asked to focus on a single activity. The various approaches they use, even when they encounter similar challenges, illustrate the efficacy of more than one solution. The report states that centers funded by the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program use multi-faceted approaches in their efforts to improve technician education in the United States. Their collaborative work with employers and educators is improving the quality of science, math, and technology instruction in secondary schools and in community colleges; the readiness of students for courses in cutting-edge technologies; and the skills of new and incumbent technicians. Section headings include: (1) Introduction; (2) Partnerships; (3) Curriculum; (4) Change; (5) Student Recruitment; (6) Advisors and Evaluation; (7) Organization; (8) Leadership; and (9) Summary. Each section offers such valuable tips in sidebars as: Tips for Providing Faculty Development; Tips for Putting Curricula on the Internet; and Tips for Generating Effective Contracts with other Colleges. There are 27 tips in this report. Appended are: (1) ATE Centers, and (2) Additional Resources.

Book Description
This book is one of several supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to the American Association of Community Colleges. It reviews the first seven years of the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program by showcasing activities, partners, and achievements at 13 colleges. When Congress enacted legislation in 1993 establishing the ATE program, America's community colleges became the focus of a NSF effort to improve the nation's technological workforce. NSF's Division of Undergraduate Education and Division of Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education jointly manage the ATE program. The aims of the ATE program are to improve advanced technology education, create models for other institutions, ensure that students gain strong backgrounds in mathematics and science, and generate educational products that can be applied nationwide. From its inception through the end of fiscal year 1999, the ATE program supported more than 250 individual projects and 12 national centers of excellence. The centers focus on specific technologies and serve as national resources that provide wide-ranging support to all institutions that are concerned about improvement in those specific technologies. Some of the programs described in this report achieved the following outcomes: new courses in telecommunications; new associate of arts and sciences degree and certificate program in environmental technology; and faculty development in geographical information systems, image processing, and remote sensing. Appendices contain ATE Centers of Excellence, ATE Funded Institutions, and Advisory Committee. (Contains 35 references.) (JA)
