The ATE Workshops for Physics Faculty is pleased to announce new physics workshops for two-year college (TYC) and high school (HS) physics faculty. The activities of this project are supported in part by a grant1 from the Division of Undergraduate Education through the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Program of the National Science Foundation. This effort is part of a five year, national, ATE-focused, workshop program that is led and administered by Lee College (TX) and Estrella Mountain Community College (AZ).

This program addresses these issues by providing a series of faculty development workshops for teams of high school and two-year college teachers who teach the core physics courses for technology programs. These workshops are designed to acquaint the participants with the integration and implementation of emerging technology and active learning strategies. These workshops provide extensive and intensive hands-on, collaborative experiences for participants with workshop materials that make it easy for participants to implement the workshop ideas, adopt or adapt them, and acquire necessary skills to use them effectively in their classroom. 

These workshops will consist of over 35 hours of scheduled activities over three days, of which most time will be spent doing hands-on activities in two or three hour sessions. Workshop sessions start on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:30 AM. Workshop sessions end each day at approximately 9:30 PM except for Saturday when it is scheduled to end at approximately 4:00 PM.
