NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION (ATE)
OVERVIEW
The ATE program provides grants to strengthen the education of technicians for
the high-tech fields that drive the U.S. economy. The program targets both the
undergraduate and secondary school levels, and is managed jointly by the
Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) and the Division of Elementary,
Secondary, and Informal Education (ESIE).
By developing and disseminating educational materials and curricula, supporting
the preparation and continuing professional development of college faculty and
secondary school teachers, and offering opportunities for both students and
educators to gain hands-on experience with technologies used in the modern
workplace, ATE projects prepare technicians for rewarding careers in
biotechnology, environmental technology, information technology, and a range of
other science- and engineering-related fields. The program also supports
projects that improve the core science and mathematics courses that technicians
need in order to succeed in their area of specialization.
Two-year colleges are expected to play a key role in all ATE projects.
Collaborative efforts involving secondary schools, two-year colleges, four-year
colleges and universities, businesses and industries, and government
organizations are encouraged.
During FY1999, the ATE program supported 11 Centers of Excellence and 164
projects. Centers focus on systemic approaches to technician education, usually
within a specific discipline; however, they are also expected to have broad
impact on two-year colleges, secondary schools, the region, and the nation.
Projects focus on specific aspects of technician education, such as curriculum
or educational materials development, faculty or teacher preparation or
enhancement, technical experiences for students, or laboratory development.
Cooperative efforts among projects and centers assure that the ATE program is
having a national impact. In the program's six years of operation, centers
account for 27% of fund allocation ($40.9 million of $151.5 million), and
projects for 65% ($98.5 million). Based on all awards active in FY1999, official
cost-sharing, as pledged in proposals, amounts to 39% of the total NSF funding
for the projects and centers; however, annual and final project reports show
that grantees are, overall, leveraging NSF funds with other funds better than
1:1.
A. Focus Areas of ATE Projects and Centers
Science-Related Technologies
These projects involve two-year colleges, four-year colleges and universities,
secondary schools, businesses and industries, professional societies, and
government agencies. For example, the College of the Mainland in Texas is
partnering with major petrochemical and refining industries, two-year colleges,
and universities to develop and implement an industry-sanctioned standardized
curriculum in process technology (Award No. 9950071). Moorpark College in
California is developing a model curriculum in biomanufacturing (Award No.
9950099). Gadsden State Community College in Alabama is partnering with three
secondary schools to provide technical experiences in aquaculture to
high-potential students (Award No. 9950063).
Engineering and Computer Technologies
These projects cooperate with industries and other partners to educate students
for the high-performance workplace. Bismarck State College in North Dakota is
joining with industry to provide a quality comprehensive curriculum to meet the
national need for education of power plant operators (Award No. 9950034). Mott
Community College in Michigan is developing a curriculum that integrates
manufacturing and simulation skills (Award No. 9950052). Sinclair Community
College in Ohio is adapting and implementing an information technology (IT)
curriculum (Award No. 9950028) originally developed by the NorthWest Center for
Emerging Technologies. Several IT projects have dual enrollments, "2+2+2"
opportunities, and teacher education programs.
Core Mathematics and Science
The ATE program supports the development of core curricula that give students
the prerequisite mathematics and science skills, as well as SCANS (Secretary's
Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills) competencies, necessary for success in
technical programs. Wake Technical Community College in North Carolina is
producing a set of integrated activities to supplement mathematics and physics
courses for engineering technology programs (Award No. 9950101). Joliet Junior
College in Illinois is providing a series of faculty development workshops to
help faculty develop a stronger understanding of science and its applications in
the workplace (Award No. 9950062). The Consortium for Mathematics and Its
Applications (COMAP) is producing a two-semester developmental mathematics
course in which the mathematics is embedded in complex realistic examples (Award
No. 9950036). A companion project funded by NSF's Instructional Materials
Development program (Award No. 9818961) is developing 35 units for a high school
curriculum that emphasizes mathematics in the workplace.
Special Projects
The ATE program continues to support special projects. The American Association
of Community Colleges (AACC) is conducting five interrelated activities to
encourage the development of ATE-related programs in community colleges, to
facilitate networking and joint activities among ATE projects, and to make known
to the education field the accomplishments of these ATE projects (Award No.
9908191).
B. Program Effectiveness
Curriculum
Because industry is requiring new skills from graduates, new courses and
curricula must be developed. To assure international competitiveness, these
curricula must meet internationally recognized benchmarks and standards. All ATE
projects and centers located at two-year institutions use industrial advisory
boards to assure that curricula are relevant to industry's needs. Materials
developed under ATE funding are being widely recognized and used in other
programs. For example, TECH SPAN, a newly developed flexible manufacturing
curriculum developed for the technical colleges in Wisconsin under an ATE grant
(Award No. 9752082), is being used as the curriculum in a newly awarded $1
million project, funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, to retrain dislocated
and incumbent workers for manufacturing technology occupations. The Phi Theta
Kappa project carrying out the dissemination of six ATE projects to 13
institutions (Award No. 9602459) reports that 2,038 students are being served in
FY1999 by courses using materials developed through the six ATE projects.
Students
ATE projects and centers involve large numbers of students. For example, the
NorthWest Center for Emerging Technologies, at Bellevue Community College in
Washington, reports that over 2,700 students per year are currently enrolled in
IT programs at the nine Washington State community colleges involved in the
center. In addition, over 2,000 high school students are using the center's
ATE-funded curriculum to prepare them for further use of IT. The Northwest
Center for Sustainable Resources, at Chemeketa Community College in Oregon,
reports having 537 students in sustainable resources programs, with 124
documented graduates; 94% of these have found jobs or continued their education
in sustainable resources fields. Industry is also recognizing students in ATE
programs by providing scholarships and internships. For example, the South
Carolina ATE Center has recently established an NSF Scholars program at two
institutions in cooperation with local industries; 29 companies have agreed to
sponsor students as ATE Scholars.
Faculty and Teachers
ATE projects and centers focus on preparing college faculty and K-12 teachers
for upgraded courses and programs. The National Center of Excellence for
Advanced Manufacturing Education, at Sinclair Community College in Ohio, reports
that in the last year, its outreach programs engaged 460 faculty and teachers in
professional development activities. Jones County Junior College (Award Nos.
9752060 and 9950085) reports that its workshops have prepared 130 middle and
high school teachers and 37 two-year college faculty to teach a new curriculum
in computer networking. Most participants have earned CNA (Certified Novell
Administrator) certifications. Over 75% of the community college teachers in
Virginia and 39% of the high school teachers in Virginia who teach drafting and
computer-aided design (CAD) courses have participated in Piedmont Community
College's project (Award No. 9752021) to prepare them to teach solid modeling
courses, which are now required for most industry positions.
Partnership Development
ATE projects and centers focus on the development of partnerships among two-year
colleges, secondary schools, four-year institutions, and business and industry.
Prince George's Community College reports that 12 community colleges, along with
10 NASA centers, are actively involved in its project for innovative technology
transfer (Award No. 9553662). Boeing, Microsoft, and other software companies in
Washington contribute approximately $1 million per year to the NorthWest Center
for Emerging Technologies. This center has also recently formed partnerships
with the Gartner Group and AACC for the publication and dissemination of
educational materials. A project at the University of New Mexico (Award No.
9850310) involves three universities and three community colleges working
extensively with Intel and other semiconductor firms to create a learning
environment in which four-year college engineering students and students in
two-year technician programs work side-by-side in real-world, factory-like
settings.
Evaluation Activities
The evaluators of ATE centers and projects both contribute to the continuous
improvement of projects and provide summative evaluations. They also collect
data for project reports. For example, the New England Board of Higher Education
conducted a comprehensive follow-up evaluation of an ATE project in photonics
education that ended last year (Award No. 9553762). The evaluation found that
over a period of 30 months, a total of 4,964 students (1,920 from high schools
and 3,044 from community colleges) were enrolled in new or extensively revised
courses that were taught by project participants and included fiber optics
concepts. It is expected that materials developed by ATE projects and centers
will be validated by industry and reviewed by academics; that National Advisory
Boards or National Visiting Committees will review progress; and that most ATE
projects will have an outside evaluator who monitors and reports progress.
With the assistance of the Evaluation Center at Western Michigan University, the
ATE program is developing a survey form so that each project and center reports
on:
* educational materials, courses, and curricula being developed, modified, or
adapted;
* the number of students in programs, courses, and internships in industry, as
well as the number who have been placed in jobs;
* the number of faculty and teachers involved;
* partnership development;
* recognition and dissemination activities;
* evaluation activities; and
* other factors that indicate the impact of the project.
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA)
The ATE program contributes to NSF's GPRA Performance Goal 3, which calls for "a
diverse, globally oriented workforce of scientists and engineers." In a
secondary role, the ATE program contributes to Performance Goal 4, which calls
for "improved achievement in mathematics and science skills needed by all
Americans." Some of the program's achievements with regard to these goals are
noted in Section D.
C. Programmatic Issues
Broadening the Impact
A new emphasis in the ATE program announcement for proposals due in 1999
encouraged the adaptation and implementation of high-quality educational
materials, novel degree programs, effective educational practices, and thriving
partnerships that have been developed by projects supported by the ATE program.
The ATE Principal Investigators Conference in the fall of 1999 had the theme
"Broadening the Impact" and involved professional societies, publishers, and the
press in discussions about informing the broader community.
Articulation to Engineering and Science Majors at Four-Year Institutions
Many two-year colleges are developing ATE programs that incorporate increasing
amounts of core mathematics, science, and engineering. These programs are
developing articulation agreements with four-year colleges and universities. A
new emphasis in the ATE program announcement for proposals due in 2000
encourages "articulation partnerships" that link two-year programs with
bachelor's degree programs.
Cooperation with Other NSF and Government Programs
Many ATE projects and centers leverage Tech Prep and School-to-Work activities
to support their projects. ATE program officers regularly participate in forums
and other activities of the Departments of Education, Labor, and Transportation
and the National Institute of Standards and Technology to learn about other
programs that support technician education. In FY1999, several ATE program
officers collaborated with the other agencies in exploring technician education
in European countries. Representatives from these agencies serve on advisory
boards and National Visiting Committees of ATE projects and centers. Principal
Investigators from NSF's systemic initiatives attend the ATE Principal
Investigators Conference and communicate with ATE program officers and project
leaders. Discussions are being held to link ATE programs and products more
closely with other programs.
Increasing Diversity in ATE Projects and Centers
Of the new ATE awards made in FY1999, 40% have indicated a significant focus on
the education of women, 45% have indicated a significant focus on the education
of minorities, and 5% have indicated a significant focus on the education of
persons with disabilities. The "21st Century Urban Technical Education Project"
at Milwaukee Area Technical College (Award No. 9950046) is focusing on the
recruitment and retention of minorities in Milwaukee's Central City, on the
fringe of the city's Enterprise Zones. Aiming to attract and retain students in
construction education programs, the project is expanding an already successful
minority student retention program at the college. The ATE project "The
Technological Connection: Computer Training for Residents of Arctic Alaska"
(Award No. 9950069) specifically targets native Alaskans through Ilisagvik
College in Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost city on the continent. With the
assistance of four other community colleges that have experience in developing
IT curricula for indigenous populations, the project is developing a curriculum
that will meet the needs of local businesses and can be remotely delivered to
native villages. Through this program, it is expected that a minimum of one
person from each of the seven villages in the region will receive an A.A.S.
degree and be hired into an IT position in the region. During FY1999, the
NorthWest Center for Emerging Technologies continued to work with community
groups, industry, and other organizations to recruit nontraditional populations
into IT. The center collaborated in events with the Women's Community Impact
Consortium and the American Association of University Women; in Microsoft's
"Diversity Day"; and in a partnership with the Private Industry Council to train
displaced workers for IT careers.
D. Notable Achievements by ATE Projects and Centers in FY1999
Projects incorporate international points of reference.
Of the new ATE projects funded in FY1999, 76% have indicated that they have
major participation by commercial or industrial organizations. Many private
sector supporters of ATE projects are multinational companies, and their
participation ensures that projects' products and activities will reflect
international standards and practices. The Maricopa Advanced Technology
Education Center in Arizona works closely with SEMATECH and major international
microelectronics companies (including Intel, Motorola, and SGS-Thompson) to
develop educational materials and curricula. These companies also provide
internships and other workplace experiences for students and faculty, so that
students will be exposed to state-of-the-art practices in semiconductor
manufacturing and related areas.
Academia, government, and business recognize the quality of projects or
participants.
Approximately 25% of ATE projects have received awards, and numerous
participants in ATE projects have received awards for their project-related
work. For example, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs
recognized the Chicago Manufacturing Bridge Program (Award No. 9850327) as the
training program of the year. A co-PI on the project "Cross-Training Technicians
and Engineers for Semiconductor Manufacturing" at the University of New Mexico
(Award No. 9850310) received Motorola's Educator of the Year Award.
Projects encourage the integration of education and research.
ATE projects and centers demonstrate active integration of research and
education, as well as cooperation between the research and education
directorates at NSF. The Northwest Center for Sustainable Resources cooperates
with the NSF Long Term Ecological Research Center run by Oregon State University
in the H. J. Andrews National Forest. The Marine Advanced Technology Education
(MATE) Center, at Monterey Peninsula College in California, has an internship
program funded jointly by the ATE program and NSF's Division of Ocean Sciences.
The program allows community college students to serve as marine technician
interns aboard ships. In addition, the ATE program and the Division of Ocean
Sciences are cooperating in a workshop sponsored by the MATE Center and the
Consortium for Oceanographic Research and Education on marine technology and the
needs and skills of marine technicians.
Projects positively change employment potential.
A displaced worker, who had to give up his career in retail management because
of a hip injury, now manages two Web sites and runs his own small business
building and selling computers, thanks to re-skilling he received at the
NorthWest Center for Emerging Technologies. Before enrolling in courses at the
center, he knew nothing about computers; but now his associate degree has
qualified him for a range of careers, including technical analyst, technical
support engineer, information systems analyst, developer support engineer, and
software support engineer. Through an education-business alliance, an ATE
project at Valencia Community College in Florida (Award No. 9950106) is working
to assist institutional efforts to design and deliver a collaborative,
replicable "Electronic Workforce Development System" for Central Florida's
microelectronics industry. Outcomes are expected to include increased
enrollment, retention, completion, and job placement of students.
Projects engage in the development, adaptation, and implementation of effective
models, products, and practices that meet the needs of all students.
As a result of the Fiber Optics Technology Education Project (Award No.
9553762), the number of New England high schools and colleges offering fiber
optics instruction increased from 20 to 40. Over the 30-month grant period,
nearly 5,000 students received instruction in fiber optics technology. For the
past five years, the Advanced Technology Environmental Education Center in Iowa
has sponsored annual "fellows institutes" and regional conferences for community
college and high school faculty members. In response to a 1999 survey, fellows
indicated that they had already had a real impact on 18,000 students with the
information and activities from the summer institutes. During the past five
years, regional conferences for faculty have been held in 24 states, with 2,322
participants. During 1998, the ATE center at Sinclair Community College reported
that the number of Sinclair students declaring manufacturing engineering
technology as their major increased by 54%. The Southwest Center for Advanced
Technological Education, at Texas State Technical College, Sweetwater, has
focused on developing a distance learning infrastructure to serve rural and
remote areas. The number of courses delivered via the center's distance learning
network increased from four in the spring of 1997 to 31 in the fall of 1998. The
number of students served by the network increased from 55 in the spring of 1997
to 631 in the spring of 1999. Because of funding leveraged from other sources,
it is expected that the number of interactive television classrooms in the
network will increase from 25 at the end of 1998 to 300 by the end of 1999.
Project participants experience world-class professional practices in research
and education.
At the four-day US-EURO-NET (United States-European Network for Education and
Training) Trans-Atlantic Conference and Workshop on "Education and Training in
Rising Career Fields" in April 1999, about half of the American educational
projects profiled were ATE-funded projects. This conference brought together
educational leaders from Austria, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, and the
United States to compare standards and content for technical education programs,
especially in IT and environmental technology. Investigators from the ATE
project "A Bridge to Advanced Technological Education" (Award No. 9850327) are
sharing the results of their work with groups in five European countries
(Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, and Italy), as participants in a
European Union-funded program aimed at developing educational materials for
workers in the fast-changing technological workplace. The investigators note
that "the Europeans are grappling with very similar sets of issues, thanks to
globalization and technological change."

This is a statewide, collaborative project to examine and quantify information
technology (IT) workforce demands and to seek expedient, cost-effective
solutions. The NorthWest Center for Emerging Technologies (NWCET) and its
partners are identifying and cataloguing Washington state's IT workforce
demands, as well as available IT educational programs. This gap analysis will
lead to the development of new IT programs and, with state support, to the
strengthening and updating of existing programs. The project will also lead to
"turnkey" solutions that allow educational institutions to rapidly launch or
enhance IT programs.
The project is accelerating the rate and expanding the impact of the
work of the NWCET and the Regional Advanced Technology Education Consortium. The
result will be a nationally adaptable, statewide model for replicating "best
practices."

The California Regional Consortium for Engineering Advances in Technological
Excellence (CREATE) is a joint effort of seven community colleges and over 70
employers. Through this project, the consortium is developing two- and
three-year programs that begin with a common core curriculum in engineering
technology. Each campus will then offer two to five advanced technological
specialties. Students from any participating college will be able to transfer to
any other college in the consortium. This unique regional approach allows the
consortium to (1) revise science, mathematics, engineering, and technology
curricula; (2) serve the needs of all students, including low-income students
and students from underrepresented groups; (3) grow with industry and meet
future needs of the high-performance workplace; (4) provide advanced training
and retraining to current industry employees; (5) enhance the status of
engineering technology education; and (6) nurture new teaching methods in the
classroom and laboratory.

Collin County Community College, North Central Texas College, Grayson County
College, the University of North Texas, and area Tech Prep consortia that serve
over 40 high school districts and 80,000 students are collaborating in this
project. Its primary goals are to initiate community-based campaigns promoting a
new mind-set that recognizes the value of 21st-century high-tech technicians and
to revitalize mathematics and science curricula by interlocking practical
applications of technologies in secondary and postsecondary education.
Processes, curricula, and program materials are being disseminated through state
presentations, regional workshops, and interfaces with national partners.
The project employs several unique practices. A vertical marketing
initiative is promoting the new era of "gold collar" technicians. Designed by
and for all the partners, the project is expanding student awareness and
opportunities. Multi-level curriculum design teams, composed of faculty from
high schools, community colleges, and universities and representatives from
various industries, are reducing duplication of subject materials and developing
Tech Prep programs with true multi-exit career paths. Nontraditional faculty
exchanges provide the vital connection for the integration of Tech Prep programs
and college courses. One-week mini-exchanges between secondary and postsecondary
faculty and between faculty at different institutions promote understanding
among participants. High school teachers see more clearly what their students
must be prepared to do. Internships that allow faculty not only to work in
industry but also to teach in corporate training environments expose these
educators to current advances in industry and different methods of curriculum
delivery and instruction.

Students who attend two-year colleges often arrive on campus lacking the basic
skills necessary to succeed in college-level work. This is a particularly
serious problem for students in science, mathematics, engineering, and
technology (SMET) programs, who may have significant deficits in their
mathematics backgrounds but high aspirations for future success. These students
need to build both their mathematical skills and confidence in their ability to
solve challenging problems. To address these issues, this project is developing
a two-semester program, "Developmental Mathematics and its Applications"
(DevMap), which offers an alternative approach to the elementary and
intermediate algebra courses currently taught at most two- and four-year
colleges.
Industry representatives often emphasize the need for "systems thinking"
that enables employees to recognize complexities inherent in situations
subject to multiple inputs and diverse constraints. Science-based fields such as
agricultural biotechnology require technicians who are able to formulate a
problem in terms of relevant factors and design an experiment to determine the
influence of those factors. Yet most developmental programs in mathematics, at
both two- and four-year colleges, only offer students a replication of the high
school mathematics curriculum. Both the National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics (NCTM) Standards (1989) and Crossroads in Mathematics: Standards for
Introductory College Mathematics Before Calculus, published by the American
Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (1995), advocate an integrated
approach to mathematics content. To address these recommendations, the DevMap
approach offers several benefits. The program is not divided into topics called
algebra, geometry, intermediate algebra, and trigonometry, although all the
major concepts in those courses are covered. The applications-based curriculum
appeals to mature students who choose to pursue postsecondary education because
the applications are drawn from areas in which students may find themselves
working or from situations that they recognize from their daily lives. Solving
the problems posed in DevMap calls for integrating technology in a natural way
as compared to the "drill-and-practice" use of technology currently found in
many developmental mathematics programs.

The emerging technology of the biochip-a microchip that contains DNA-including
both its production and its use as a diagnostic tool, presents a unique
opportunity for advanced technological education programs. The similarities in
the production process between the biochip and the microchip place the proposed
biochip curriculum directly in parallel with programs that already exist for
microelectronics and electronics. Currently, there are no comprehensive programs
at the community college level to address workforce development needs,
competencies, and skills for the biochip industry, although these gene chips are
already in production at several companies and in limited use in the medical
profession.
This pilot project brings together national academic and industrial
experts in biotechnology, biochip technology, and microchip technology to build
the foundation for a biochip science and technology curriculum that interfaces
with existing microelectronics, electronics, and engineering programs offered at
many colleges. Activities that support the development and dissemination of this
unique biochip specialization are (1) travel to biochip and microchip industries
and biotechnology firms in Arizona, California, and Texas to meet experts
involved in these industries and to invite them to join this project as part of
a curriculum development team; (2) sponsorship of a workshop, "Bioelectronics,
Biosensors, and Biochips," for community college faculty from the three
community college systems involved in the project; and (3) sponsorship of other
workshops to delineate competencies, skills, and workforce development needs in
the biochip industry and to produce biochip specialization courses.

The task of updating physics programs at two-year colleges is difficult because
of the many rapid changes, the distribution of physics teachers, the heavy and
complex workload of the faculty, and their lack of knowledge about the needs and
applications of physics in the workplace. This two-year national pilot program
is providing a series of six faculty development workshops (three each year) for
two-year college faculty who teach the diverse, talented groups of students
found in the core physics courses for technology programs and other programs.
These workshops acquaint participants with the integration of technology and
active learning strategies into such areas as microcomputer-based laboratories,
digital video, modeling, computer simulations, qualitative and conceptual
exercises, Internet-connected courses, cooperative and collaborative group work,
and research and assessment in student learning. In addition, the workshops help
faculty to better address the educational and workforce needs of technicians as
they relate to physics. The workshops are led by two-year college physics
professors along with four-year college or university physics professors who are
experts in developing or implementing these approaches. The impact of the
workshops is being reinforced by a newsletter and other incentives to encourage
the implementation of the workshop ideas.

Aquaculture is the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. agriculture industry.
Although aquaculture curricula exist, few secondary or two-year educational
programs introduce students to the field and its career opportunities. Of the
existing programs, few provide students with the hands-on laboratory experiences
necessary to meet industry standards for skilled technicians. One goal of this
project is to develop an educational partnership between Gadsden State Community
College and three Alabama secondary schools in order to provide experiences in
aquaculture for high-potential students. Faculty from Gadsden State and Auburn
University are providing technical expertise to the secondary schools so that
they can set up and maintain demonstration aquaculture systems (mini-fish
farms). Gadsden State is also developing a partnership with Auburn University
and local industry to offer educational experiences in aquaculture for secondary
school and two-year college students and secondary school teachers. This
partnership is (1) introducing technical curricula at secondary schools and
two-year colleges, (2) providing information to students about potential careers
in aquaculture, and (3) giving students an opportunity to participate in the
"Intern and Learn" program, which places students on working fish farms. The
project's methods and materials are being disseminated to other secondary
schools and two-year colleges in Alabama that have recently been encouraged by
the aquaculture industry to begin aquaculture programs.

degree in process technology, and the courses have recently been adopted by
Louisiana. Other states, such as Kentucky, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and West
Virginia, also support the Alliance's effort to develop an industry-sanctioned
curriculum in process technology and are actively pursuing the adaptation and
adoption of this curriculum. This project is a logical extension of the
Alliance's vision and builds upon established relationships between industry,
business, government, and education.

This project seeks to transform a successful, ongoing regional Manufacturing
Technology Academy into a flexible and adaptable technological academy model.
The idea is to lift students from the traditional high school or technical
center setting into a more meaningful educational environment that delivers
high-level academic content while emulating a corporate culture of quality.
Although the academy currently focuses on manufacturing, almost any industry can
serve as the skeleton for this model.
The technological academy model differs from the mainstream of both
technology centers and traditional high schools in four key aspects: (1) a
rigorous academic curriculum that integrates high-level secondary content like
calculus, chemistry, economics, and physics into a workplace focus; (2) a
uniquely successful manufacturing council partnership, which ensures constant
communication and in-depth collaboration between teachers, manufacturing
personnel, and students; (3) an innovative blend of the classroom and the
workplace, which extends the classroom beyond its walls and brings an
entrepreneurial spirit and corporate culture to its students and curriculum; and
(4) marketing, recruitment, evaluation, and replication strategies aimed at
continuously improving effectiveness and opening the technological academy's
door to a larger and more diverse pool of students.

Job-based problems similar to those technology students are likely to encounter
when they begin work in industrial settings are not widely available for
technical physics courses. Consequently, students frequently fail to see the
relevance of physics to their studies and may not recognize physics-based
applications when they encounter them on the job.
The objective of this project is to develop 40 job-based problem sets
for technical physics. Physics and technology instructors, representatives from
the Metropolitan Manufacturing Technology Center, and employees from small
industries in the Birmingham area are collaborating to develop these problem
sets. Instructors are visiting a variety of light and heavy manufacturing
settings to research the foundations for problems covering the areas of motion,
force, torque, and electricity. Instructors from Jefferson State Community
College and at least three other colleges will field-test the problems before
they are distributed to other technical physics teachers at national and
regional meetings and via the Web and CD-ROM.

This project supports the summative evaluation and widespread dissemination of
"Hands on Physics" (HOP), an innovative, inquiry-based approach to physics
designed for high school and college students.
Because HOP represents a radically different way to teach physics,
educators are demanding more evidence that it is effective and can achieve its
goals. The limited studies undertaken so far have been formative, intended to
help guide the materials development process. This project carries out a
definitive summative study involving 10 sites.
HOP is adapted to delivery over the Web. This project is creating a
complete implementation package of seven HOP units and supporting materials that
can be widely disseminated and take full advantage of the Web. By creating a
Web-based HOP interest group, the project is providing assistance in meeting
teaching standards, selecting companion materials, performing student
evaluation, and solving technical problems.

Notices from the National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds research and education in most
fields of science and engineering. Grantees are wholly responsible for
conducting their project activities and preparing the results for publication.
Thus, the Foundation does not assume responsibility for such findings or their
interpretation.
NSF welcomes proposals from all qualified scientists, engineers and educators.
The Foundation strongly encourages women, minorities, and persons with
disabilities to compete fully in its programs. In accordance with federal
statutes, regulations, and NSF policies, no person on grounds of race, color,
age, sex, national origin, or disability shall be excluded from participation
in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any
program or activity receiving financial assistance from NSF (unless otherwise
specified in the eligibility requirements for a particular program).
Facilitation Awards for Scientists and Engineers with Disabilities (FASED)
provide funding for special assistance or equipment to enable persons with
disabilities (investigators and other staff, including student research
assistants) to work on NSF-supported projects. See the program announcement or
contact the program coordinator at (703) 292-8636.
The National Science Foundation has Telephonic Device for the Deaf (TDD) and
Federal Relay Service (FRS) capabilities that enable individuals with hearing
impairments to communicate with the Foundation regarding NSF programs,
employment, or general information. TDD may be accessed at (703) 292-5090 or
through FRS on 1-800-877-8339.
The National Science Foundation is committed to making all of the information we
publish easy to understand. If you have a suggestion about how to improve the
clarity of this document or other NSF-published materials, please contact us at
plainlanguage@nsf.gov.
