The 2024 ATE Conference will be held on October 23-25 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. The conference brings together more than 850 NSF ATE grantees and their project partners to focus on the critical issues related to advanced technological education. Key people working on ATE projects across the country will participate in the event. Conference participants represent community colleges, business and industry, secondary school systems, and four-year colleges covering projects in a wide variety of areas, such as advanced manufacturing technologies, agricultural and environmental technologies, biological and chemical technologies, engineering technologies, information and security technologies, micro and nanotechnologies, and others.

Space Ag Conference seeks to explore the potential of advanced agriculture technologies to transform the AgTech industry in space, with the understanding that solutions to space-based challenges can often be applied to those on Earth.

Our world’s production system is undergoing a dramatic shift towards sustainable practices and greater food security. Space agriculture and the technology it provides could help farmers produce higher crop yields with less land and energy. This is our opportunity to dream big and envision a bold future for agriculture 

Goals of the Conference:

• Encourage the next generation of innovators to dream
• Explore agricultural possibilities through the lens of space
• Showcase the challenges of space agriculture
• Speed up collaboration and innovation
• Highlight cooperation with NASA + space industry leaders

Join DeafTEC for their first-ever Math and Science Conference this year. In the past, math-only conferences have been hosted by DeafTEC, but this year, they are incorporating science topics into this conference. The aim of the Math and Science Conference is to bring together teachers of deaf and hard-of-hearing students from middle school to community college to collaborate on a variety of math and science topics.

This conference, brought to you by Rochester Institute of Technology’s NTID Regional STEM Center and DeafTEC, will be held at NTID on October 28-30, 2024.

There is no cost to attend this conference, but registration is required. Sign language interpreters and CART services will be provided for all workshop sessions. Please make note of any other accommodations needed when registering.

Aerospace Component Manufacturers (ACM) Aerospace Alley Future Workforce Opportunities Fair and Tradeshow held at the Connecticut Convention Center. AMT Coordinators will table at the event to educate local high schools and middle school students about the many career opportunities in aerospace manufacturing. CT State Community College campuses Asnuntuck and Manchester will be exhibitors. This event allows CT State students, instructors, and staff to network with area companies for internships, job placement, and potential tours/guest speakers for our Career Awareness in Manufacturing class. It is a great networking event for all who attend.

The AVS International Symposium and Exhibition addresses cutting edge issues associated with materials, processing and interfaces in both the research and manufacturing communities.

The weeklong Symposium fosters a multidisciplinary environment that cuts across traditional boundaries between disciplines, featuring papers from AVS Technical Division, Groups, Focus Topics on emerging technologies and more.

An extensive Exhibition of related equipment, tools, materials, supplies, chemicals, services, consulting, technical literature, and new technologies are showcased during the week.

The Immune Epitope Database (IEDB) is an important tool for developing immunotherapies and vaccines. The IEDB is also useful for educators who wish to incorporate undergraduate research in their classrooms. Dr. Sheela Vemu (Waubonsee Community College) has been using the IEDB with her students and as a team leader four of the Antibody Engineering Hackathons. She and her students were able to publish two peer-reviewed articles in the Journal of Advanced Technological Education (J ATE) and one protocol in QUBES. You can learn more about the IEDB in this virtual workshop. 

Topics include:

• Overview of the IEDB curation process, database structure, and content. The different database query features will be demonstrated and a research example will be provided.
• Overview of the epitope prediction and analysis tools for both the Next-Generation tools and classic Analysis Resource.
• Specialized topics will be covered including specific tools, the IEDB application programming interface (API), and other areas of research, such as HIV and cancer.
