This project supports planning for an ATE Regional Center for nanotechnology workforce education. The project team includes K-12 school systems, two-year and four-year colleges, and business leaders of the Tennessee Innovation Valley Nano Alliance. In order to support the growth of Tennessee's Innovation Valley, educational institutions and local industries are developing high-quality programs to educate skilled, versatile nanotechnology technicians.Intellectual merit: The project team is using a collaborative planning process that is influencing science, math, and technology education at the secondary and postsecondary levels. The planning process includes: identifiying appropriate fields of nanotechnology education that can have the greatest positive impact on the regional economy; identifying industry and academic skill standards; identifying best practices in curriculum and instructional delivery in the region; strengthening partnerships among the various organizations; identifying professional development needs; identifying needs and barriers to recruitment of students and developing strategies to address them; and developing an operational structure for implementation of regional center activities. Broader impacts: This project is increasing collaboration among regional educational institutions, business and industry, and scientific research organizations, and supporting students from middle school through college programs and into the workplace. The project is also developing strategies for extending access and broadening participation of underrepresented and underserved groups. There is strong support from the state of Tennessee that helps ensure wide impact within the state.

该项目支持为纳米技术劳动力教育区域中心的规划。项目团队包括K-12学校系统，两年和四年制的大学以及田纳西州创新谷纳米联盟的商业领袖。为了支持田纳西州的创新谷的增长，教育机构和地方行业正在开发高质量的计划，以教育熟练的，多才多艺的纳米技术技术人员。智能绩效：项目团队正在使用一个正在影响中学和核心后级别的科学和技术教育的协作计划过程。计划过程包括：确定适当的纳米技术教育领域，这些领域可能对区域经济产生最大的积极影响；确定行业和学术技能标准；确定该地区课程和教学交付方面的最佳实践；加强各种组织之间的伙伴关系；确定专业发展需求；确定招募学生的需求和障碍，并制定解决他们的策略；并开发用于实施区域中心活动的操作结构。更广泛的影响：该项目正在增加区域教育机构，商业和行业以及科学研究组织之间的合作，并为中学通过大学课程和工作场所提供支持。该项目还在制定策略，以扩大代表性不足和服务不足的群体的访问和扩大参与的策略。田纳西州有强有力的支持，有助于确保州内的广泛影响。
