Why Community Colleges?Why Community Colleges?44% of the students who receive
baccalaureate or masters’ degrees in a STEM field attended a community college.
Associate degree programs produce highly qualified science and engineering technicians for the high performance workplace and improve U. S. competitiveness.
Community colleges play a large role in the preparation of future K-12 teachers.
Community colleges have very diverse student bodies and broadening participation in STEM is a major part of NSF’s mission.
… and many more reasons

Expanded ATE Opportunity Track 3: Expanded ATE Opportunity Track 3:
Targeted Research in Technician EducationTargeted Research in Technician Education Examples:
For specific high-technology fields, what works and what doesn’t work and why? What educational strategies are most effective in improving student learning in specific fields and how do you know?
Across multiple technology fields, what are the impacts of strategies such as problem based learning and remote laboratories had?
How can the stakeholders in technician educations (community colleges in collaboration with all types of others) develop meaningful and mutually beneficial partnerships?
What model educational program and industry partnerships prepare students for sustained success in a technician career? What are the characteristics of students who best adapt?
