Abstract
Opportunities for Students and Faculty Stemming from Engineering Technology Program Reform Abstract Burlington County College (BCC) is implementing the findings of an institution-level reform of its Engineering Technology programs in order to create meaningful job opportunities for displaced and incumbent workers, work-based activities and/or internships for students, and faculty development opportunities. In addition, the findings of this Engineering Technology program reform effort will be tailored to develop initiatives to increase enrollment in the Engineering Technology Programs, with special attention to under-represented students. The goal of this synergistic approach is to promote and improve discussion, collaboration, and the working relationship among interested stakeholders vested in the central/southern NJ manufacturing-related industry. This project has brought together a robust consortium made up of secondary schools, a community college, a four-year university, workforce development professionals, and industry leaders. The approach of cooperative interaction is expected to serve as a model for transforming a community college technical education program in an effort to create a seamless and meaningful educational and work-entry pathway for future engineering technologists and technicians. This project is based upon work supported by the Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program at the National Science Foundation (NSF) under Grant No. 0703836.
