PROPOSAL NO.: 0230615PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Garcia, CarlosINSTITUTION NAME: Houston Community CollegeTITLE: HCCS Planning for Engineering Transfer AbstractHouston Community College SystemPlanning for Engineering TransferThe Houston Community College System (HCCS), a Hispanic Serving Institution with five colleges, has partnered with local and regional universities (the University of Houston, Lamar University) and community engineering agencies and corporations (NASA, Schlumberger) to develop an engineering transfer program. The primary goal of the project is to increase the number of underrepresented students enrolled in engineering degree programs.The planning group will develop the new curriculum by investigating best practices in engineering education through consultations and visits with exceptional programs throughout the country. Because Texas has no approved engineering community and junior college curriculum (approval is dependent upon credits accepted by the transfer institution), collaboration with university partners is critical to the success of the program. Ultimately, the program will serve as a model that can be replicated by colleges and universities throughout Texas and will set the standard for engineering transfer programs. The program will offer its greatest benefits to the underrepresented students who will find new career opportunities, and to the engineering industry, which will have an expanding pool of well-educated, successful employees.

提案编号：0230615主要调查员：加西亚，卡洛斯机构名称：休斯顿社区学院标题：HCCS 工程转移规划摘要休斯顿社区学院系统工程转移规划休斯顿社区学院系统 (HCCS) 是一个拥有五所学院的西班牙裔服务机构，已与当地和地区合作大学（休斯顿大学、拉马尔大学）和社区工程机构和公司（美国宇航局、斯伦贝谢）开发工程转移计划。该项目的主要目标是增加就读工程学位课程的学生人数。规划小组将通过咨询和访问全国各地的特殊项目来研究工程教育的最佳实践，从而开发新课程。由于德克萨斯州没有经过批准的工程社区和专科课程（批准取决于转学机构接受的学分），因此与大学合作伙伴的合作对于该计划的成功至关重要。最终，该项目将成为德克萨斯州各地学院和大学可以复制的模型，并将为工程转移项目设定标准。该计划将为那些将找到新的职业机会的未被充分代表的学生以及将拥有不断扩大的受过良好教育的成功员工的工程行业带来最大的好处。
