ABSTRACT
This project is developing, disseminating, and maintaining activities that broadly promote and disseminate the impact and outcomes of the Centers supported through the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Program. The goal is to inform stakeholders of the resources and services offered through the coalition of ATE centers. The overall outcome is a community that makes informed decisions and takes informed actions to promote and support technician education and a competitive workforce in the United States. The project objectives include: print publications, an interactive website, branded displays, and joint ATE Center exhibits at both national and regional meetings. These activities are: increasing decision makers' and influencers' knowledge of ATE program activities and accomplishments; raising other educators' awareness of ATE resources and services; cultivating new partnerships to advance initiatives important to the nation's technological workforce and STEM education; and creating a distinct and national brand for the advanced technological education centers and projects that receive support from the National Science Foundation. The broader impacts of the project are significant. The website, print publications, and joint center exhibits emphasize the range of disciplines supported by the centers. These efforts support the entire ATE community and further disseminate the program outcomes to new audiences.
PROJECT OUTCOMES REPORT
Disclaimer
This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
The NSF Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Collaborative Impact Project is a network of regional and large-scale resources centers. These centers join together several times a year to promote the NSF-ATE mission impacting as wide an audience as possible by recruiting more colleges to apply for grant, maximizing the dissemination for ATE products, while providing expertise and service to potential stakeholders.
In July 2008, the Florida Advanced Technological Education Center (FLATE) took over organizing the events and exhibit originally started by another center in 2005. Since then the project has expanded to include more national and regional venues, and conferences focused on specific technologies. The join exhibits provide a highly visible, coherent program impact statement to a variety of stakeholders at different conference venues. In addition to organizing events, this project includes de developing and maintating NSF-ATE centers common branding materials with display materials and banners for all current centers.
Currently there are 34 ATE centers, three resource centers, and two large ATE projects that lead national or regional initiatives in particular fields, or serve as support centers. The two large project serve as catalysis within the ATE community and as sources for program-wide dissemination and capacity building. In summary, since year 2008 NSF-ATE centers have jointly participated in a total of 75 events with 601 individuals from 42 NSF-ATE Centers to date. Currently there are 34 ATE-centers involved.
Collaboration among NSF-ATE centers has resulted in increased levels of resources sharing, collaboration for new grants and finding, and has led to ideas for cost-saving and resource sharing models that can be succesfuly replicated nation wide.
