The Northwest Network for Application Development and Technology Connections (AppConnect NW) project is a faculty-led coordination network across five colleges. AppConnect NW will engage with information technology (IT) industry leaders, regional employers and local high school teachers and counselors to develop and support a technician pathway from an associate's degree to a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree in Software Development. Data produced through AppConnect NW activities will inform states and community colleges that are creating new BAS degrees in software development. Best practices will be disseminated nationwide through the ATE network including college consortium collaboration strategies that meet industry expectations, curriculum development strategies that prepare under-served students with technical and soft skills to succeed in a competitive, fast-changing industry, and recruitment strategies that successfully support bringing under-served students into software development programs.AppConnect NW serves the national interests by growing a diverse software development BAS student body, preparing the students to succeed upon graduation, and expanding regional recognition of an emerging applied degree. The project will educate and engage regional employers on the value of Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degrees and BAS graduates to meet high-demand software development, programming and web development workforce needs in the greater Seattle area. AppConnect NW will create a professional network that brings together BAS software development faculty members and industry to develop, enhance and validate industry-relevant BAS technical training curriculum and standards ingrained with the philosophy that intelligence and talent are traits that can be fostered to achieve success rather than being inherited and static traits. This approach has the potential to enable non-traditional students to understand IT culture and thrive within the industry. Finally, the project will educate and engage local high school faculty and counselors to encourage students who would benefit from earning a bachelor's degree in software development at lower cost than a traditional computer science baccalaureate program and in a smaller-classroom setting. This project network will engage stakeholders in the pipeline from K12 through post-secondary education and industry to support student success in software development.

西北应用程序开发和技术连接网络 (AppConnect NW) 项目是一个由教师主导的跨五所学院的协调网络。 AppConnect NW 将与信息技术 (IT) 行业领导者、地区雇主以及当地高中教师和辅导员合作，开发和支持从软件开发副学士学位到应用科学学士学位 (BAS) 学位的技术人员途径。通过 AppConnect NW 活动产生的数据将为正在创建新的软件开发 BAS 学位的州和社区大学提供信息。最佳实践将通过 ATE 网络在全国范围内传播，包括满足行业期望的大学联盟合作策略、为服务不足的学生提供技术和软技能以在竞争激烈、快速变化的行业中取得成功的课程开发策略，以及成功招聘的招聘策略。支持将服务不足的学生纳入软件开发项目。AppConnect NW 通过发展多元化的软件开发 BAS 学生群体、为学生在毕业后取得成功做好准备以及扩大对新兴应用学位的地区认可来服务于国家利益。该项目将教育并吸引地区雇主了解应用科学学士学位 (BAS) 学位和 BAS 毕业生的价值，以满足大西雅图地区高需求的软件开发、编程和网络开发劳动力需求。 AppConnect NW 将创建一个专业网络，将 BAS 软件开发教师和行业聚集在一起，开发、增强和验证行业相关的 BAS 技术培训课程和标准，其理念根深蒂固，即智力和才能是可以通过培养来实现成功的特质，而不是通过培养来获得成功。而不是遗传的和静态的特征。这种方法有可能使非传统学生了解 IT 文化并在行业中蓬勃发展。最后，该项目将教育并吸引当地高中教师和辅导员，以鼓励学生以比传统计算机科学学士学位课程更低的成本和在较小的教室环境中获得软件开发学士学位，从而受益。该项目网络将吸引从 K12 到高等教育和行业的利益相关者参与，以支持学生在软件开发方面取得成功。
