This Advanced Technological Education Program Track 2 project aims to serve the national interest by improving curricula and educational materials in building and construction science technician education for the Northeast Florida region. By 2050, according to environmental scientists’ predictions, the United States will be entirely dependent on renewable energy. This includes going green in the building and construction science industry. Carrying out this transition of the nation’s energy infrastructure will require a robust construction technician workforce that integrates building science and energy-efficiency knowledge into their standard practice. Florida State College at Jacksonville’s project, Strengthening Building and Construction Technician Training with Alternative Energy Sources to Advance Sustainability, supports a significant effort to increase our capacity to educate students and regional technicians. The project goals are to: 1) create an Alternative Energies track, as part of Associate of Science degree programs that will prepare students to earn multiple industry-recognized credentials in alternative energies use in building and construction, 2) establish an Alternative Energies and Materials Laboratory for students to practice installation and performance analysis techniques, 3) design and build a low-cost classroom alternative energy and thermal conductivity trainer for teachers to use in secondary courses, and 4) create a career pipeline for K-12 populations, including underrepresented students, and professional development activities for secondary school teachers. Fifty (50) college students, 10 incumbent workers, 5 postsecondary faculty members, 20 high school teachers participating in faculty workshops and 40 high school students will gain knowledge and skills. Enrollment of underrepresented populations will increase by at least five percent through using diversity best practices. Dissemination will take place at regional and national levels. This project is funded by the Advanced Technological Education program that focuses on the education of technicians for the advanced-technology fields that drive the Nation’s economy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项高级技术教育计划TRACK 2项目旨在通过改善佛罗里达州东北地区建设和建筑科学技术教育的课程和教育材料来为国家利益服务。根据环境科学家的预测，到2050年，美国将完全取决于可再生能源。这包括在建筑和建筑科学行业中绿色。进行国家能源基础设施的这种过渡将需要强大的建筑技术劳动力，将建筑科学和能源效率知识纳入其标准实践。杰克逊维尔项目的佛罗里达州立学院，加强了建筑和建筑技术人员的培训，并提供了替代能源以提高可持续性的培训，这支持了一项巨大的努力，以提高我们教育学生和地区技术人员的能力。项目目标是：1）作为科学学位课程副计划的一部分，创建替代能源的轨道，该课程将使学生在建筑和建筑中获得多个行业认可的凭证，以建立一个替代的能量和材料实验室，供学生建立替代的能量和材料实验室，以练习安装和绩效分析，3）为较低的课堂创造和培养教师的培训培训，以培养教师和训练培训，以供教师培养培训，并为训练培训训练，以培养教师的一项培训，并为训练训练培训培训培训培训培训。 K-12人群的管道，包括代表性不足的学生以及中学教师的专业发展活动。五十（50）个大学生，10名现任工人，5名中学后成员，20名高中教师参加教师研讨会和40名高中生将获得知识和技能。通过使用多样性最佳实践，人口不足人群的入学人数将至少增加5％。传播将在地区和国家一级进行。该项目由高级技术教育计划资助，该计划的重点是推动国家经济的技术领域的教育。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，通过评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
