ATE Program Staff ________________________________________________________________________________ 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." E.

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.

Award No. 9950036 Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications Developmental Mathematics and Its Applications (DevMap) Award: $674,677 (FY1999 $225,050; FY2000 $317,274; FY2001 $132,353) Mathematics Solomon A. Garfunkel Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications Office of the Executive Director 57 Bedford St., Suite 210 Lexington, MA 02173 sol@comap.com (617) 862-7878 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. Award No. 9950037 Moraine Valley Community College Applied Internet Technology: Curriculum and Careers Award: $315,792 Information Technology John L. Sands Moraine Valley Community College Dept. of Electronics 10900 S. 88th Ave. Palos Hills, IL 60465-2175 sands@moraine.cc.il.us (708) 974-5424 This project addresses industry's need for technicians with a specialized degree in applied Internet technologies and answers the need for an integrated information technology (IT) curriculum articulated from high school through the community college to the university level.

Sargent Reynolds Community College Advanced Technological Education for Emerging Microtechnologies: The Microchip and the Biochip Award: $71,873 Biotechnology George H. Flowers J. Sargent Reynolds Community College Engineering and Applied Science Division P.O. Box 85622 Richmond, VA 23241-5622 gflowers@jsr.cc.va.us (804) 371-3225 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.

Award No. 9970881 Concord Consortium Hands on Physics: Evaluation and Dissemination Award: $128,070 Physics Robert F. Tinker Concord Consortium 37 Thoreau St. Concord, MA 01742 bob@concord.org (978) 371-3476 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. ________________________________________________________________________________ PROJECTS MANAGED BY OTHER NSF PROGRAMS AND CO-FUNDED BY ATE New Awards (1999) In 1999 the ATE program contributed funds to several proposals that were submitted to and funded through other programs. Below, the ATE contribution is listed in parentheses after the estimated total award. Award No. 9900698 Western Michigan University Assessing the Impact and Effectiveness of the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Program Award: $1,289,690 (ATE: $646,014) Evaluation Arlen R. Gullickson Western Michigan University Evaluation Center 414 E. Clark St. 401B Ellsworth Hall Kalamazoo, MI 49008 arlen.gullickson@wmich.edu (616) 387-5895 This award is managed by the Evaluation Program in the Division of Research, Evaluation, and Communication. NSF-funded projects are increasingly recognizing that performance accountability is a critical practice. However, few Principal Investigators (PIs) or their staff have the requisite expertise to develop and implement an accountability system. This project supports the development of tools for ATE projects to carry out accountability assessments using a common outcomes framework. In concert with ATE PIs, project personnel are preparing a set of indicators that represent quality technical education, preparing and pilot-testing instruments and guidebooks for data collection, and collecting data from ATE projects that will provide information on the impact and effectiveness of the ATE program.

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.
