ATE Impacts 2022-2023
No full textThe ATE Impacts book, published every two years by Internet Scout Research Group, showcases all of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) centers and selected nominated projects. The NSF ATE program focuses on the education of highly-qualified science and engineering technicians for advanced technology fields. Through the program's grant process, the NSF promotes the improvement of STEM education of science and engineering technicians at the undergraduate and secondary school levels, and in the workforce. This 2022-2023 Impacts book provides data on the NSF ATE program, a foreword by President Joseph R. Biden, an introduction, and summaries of the activities and accomplishments of 28 ATE centers and 33 projects. Website addresses are included for all of the centers and projects. A map is also included that provides geographic location information that is intended to help connect educators, employers, and students with the ATE initiatives in each state. The introduction discusses distinct aspects of the ATE program and the resiliency of the program during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ATE Impacts videos are also highlighted. These videos were created in collaboration with Vox Television and are intended to accompany this ATE Impacts book. These videos share the experiences of ATE Alumni (students, administrators, educators, and industry partners) and the profound impact of ATE initiatives on their lives and careers.

ATE Impacts: Columbus State Community College
No full textThis video, from Internet Scout Research Group, features Scot McLemore and is intended to accompany the 2022-2022 ATE Impacts book. This book showcases the important role that two-year community and technical colleges play in building the skilled technical workforce and provide evidence of the United States' critical economic need for technician education. The accompanying videos created in collaboration with Vox Television share the experiences of ATE alumni (students, administrators, educators, and industry partners) and the profound impact of ATE initiatives on their lives and careers. The book is available to view separately. Scot works at Honda and discusses their partnership with Columbus State Community College. This partnership was created to help fill the need for electromechanical technicians, through a collaborative and creative education model. ATE funding enables students to split their time between the classroom and Honda's production floor, learning new technologies in real time. This video runs 4:56 minutes in length.

ATE Impacts: South Central College
No full textThis video, from Internet Scout Research Group, features Annette Parker and is intended to accompany the 2022-2023 ATE Impacts book. This book showcases the important role that two-year community and technical colleges play in building the skilled technical workforce and provide evidence of the United States' critical economic need for technician education. The accompanying videos created in collaboration with Vox Television share the experiences of ATE alumni (students, administrators, educators, and industry partners) and the profound impact of ATE initiatives on their lives and careers. The book is available to view separately. In this video, South Central College President Annette Parker and instructor Doug Laven discuss the creation of a mechatronics program. Annette actively supported the idea of applying for an ATE grant in order to develop a mechatronics program. The resulting grant not only brought new technology to the college, but also fostered the development of a program that creates a path from high school, to college, to a career in mechatronics.This video runs 6:41 minutes in length.
