This two-day course is designed for engineers, scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs, managers and supervisors interested in learning more about the various types of intellectual property, especially patents. You should also attend if you are interested in learning how to recognize, protect and exploit intellectual property both in the U.S. and abroad.
Intellectual property plays a significant role in all aspects of science and engineering as evidenced by the intellectual property market which continues to grow at a remarkable rate. With regard to patents, the rules for applying and qualifying for patent protection are changing as quickly as the technology they protect advances. Now, more than ever, scientists, engineers, managers and the like must understand their companies’ intellectual property assets and their alternatives for realizing a significant return on investment for these valuable assets. Moreover, global markets require an understanding of how intellectual property can be protected and exploited worldwide.

The highest levels of community college administration face significant challenges in supporting technology programs at their institutions. They are faced with a quandary. For economic development in their region, a skilled workforce is critical in the IT, manufacturing, engineering technology and biotechnology sectors, for example. To be responsive to those sectors, presidents recognize the need to support and maintain the currency of their technology education programs. However, enrollments in many programs (excluding health care) are suffering, and the cost of expensive laboratory equipment and infrastructure may force a CEO's decision to limit the college's support. Industry has the expectation that colleges will, of course, support these programs.
Deans and faculty members address a whole series of related issues. They are much more on the front line of struggling with the classes' need to make as well as limited resources for recruiting and promotion activities. How do they balance fulfilling students' needs, the budget, the expectations of industry, and the demands of the upper administration?
In this web seminar, following introductory remarks, the moderator will set the stage for the discussion. A college president, dean and faculty member will address these significant challenges. The panelists will explore the question of sustainability of the current status quo. They will respond to the question: "Will technology education programs as we know them disappear and be replaced by new models for workforce and economic development?"

This Project will provide a series of three-day, intensive focused, hands-on professional and curriculum development workshops/conferences and follow-up activities for physics teachers in TYCs and HSs. These workshops and conferences are aimed at teachers who serve students involved in technology-based or technician careers. There will be four workshop/conferences per year held at various TYCs with special incentives to encourage teams of HS and TYC teachers. This project is builds upon and earlier physics workshop project that held 61 workshops over 15 years.
Educators from TYCs HSs, and colleges/universities, which include implementation leaders, and developers from buisness and industry will lead these workshops. They will deal with effective integration, technology implementation, and learning strategies in areas such as micromputer-based laboratories, digital video, computer simulations, conceptual tasks and tools, web and internet activities, group work, assessment of learning, and physics related technician education.
