As partnership between community college leaders and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), this project aims to broaden the participation and increase the success of diverse students, particularly under-represented minorities. This project will convene a conference for community college administrators, engineering faculty and engineering technology faculty with the following goals: 1) identify the obstacles which prevent and best practices that promote diverse community college students to successfully navigate pathways to degree attainment; 2) establish working groups of community college professionals to continue to work on specific engineering education challenges that surface during this conference; 3) better integrate community college leadership and educators into ASEE’s extensive network of members and resources; and 4) expand ASEE’s Diversity Recognition Program (ADRP) to include community colleges recognizing their unique strengths and needs. This convening is the precursor for additional future meetings to be held virtually and at ASEE national conferences.

This convening is the precursor for additional future meetings to be held virtually and at ASEE national conferences. The conference will be held in the fall of 2023 on Ivy Tech Community College’s campus in Indianapolis. To maximize scale and impact, the focus of this effort is on the larger community college systems or multi-campus colleges with multiple faculty and at least one hundred students in pre-engineering, engineering, or engineering technology programs. This conference will produce the following products: 1) a plan for a physical and an electronic community linking engineering and engineering technology community college faculty in support of enhanced student learning and transfer success with particular attention to populations underrepresented in engineering and engineering technology; 2) a plan for a physical and an electronic community linking community college administrators in support of more effective teaching by engineering and engineering technology faculty as well as recruitment/retainment of more diverse faculty; 3) a plan for incentivizing and recognizing community college commitment to and success at diversifying their student and faculty populations including participation in the ADRP program; and 4) a plan for continuing conversations towards the reimagining of engineering and engineering technology at a national level.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.

作为社区大学领导者和美国工程教育协会 (ASEE) 之间的合作伙伴关系，该项目旨在扩大多元化学生（特别是代表性不足的少数群体）的参与并提高其成功率。该项目将为社区大学管理人员、工程人员召开一次会议。教师和工程技术教师的目标如下：1）找出阻碍不同社区学院学生成功获得学位的障碍和最佳实践；2）建立社区学院专业人员工作组，继续从事特定工程工作；本次会议期间出现的教育挑战； 3) 将社区大学领导层和教育工作者更好地融入 ASEE 广泛的成员和资源网络中；4) 扩大 ASEE 的多样性认可计划 (ADRP)，将社区大学纳入其中，认识到其独特的优势和需求。作为社区大学领导者和美国工程教育协会 (ASEE) 之间的合作伙伴关系，该项目旨在扩大多元化学生（特别是代表性不足的少数族裔）的参与并提高其成功率。将为社区学院管理人员、工程教师和工程技术教师召开一次会议，其目标如下：1）确定阻碍不同社区学院学生成功获得学位的障碍和最佳实践；2）建立以下工作组；社区大学专业人员继续致力于解决本次会议期间出现的具体工程教育挑战；3) 更好地将社区大学领导层和教育工作者纳入 ASEE 广泛的成员和资源网络；4) 扩大 ASEE 的多样性认可计划 (ADRP)，将社区纳入其中；学院此次会议是未来以虚拟方式和 ASEE 全国会议举行的前奏，该会议将于 2023 年秋季在印第安纳波利斯常春藤科技社区学院校园举行，以最大限度地扩大规模和影响力。 ，这项工作的重点是更大的社区学院系统或多校区学院，拥有多名教职人员和至少一百名工程预科、工程或工程技术课程的学生。本次会议将产生以下产品：1）a）制定身体计划以及一个连接工程和工程技术社区学院教师的电子社区，以支持提高学生的学习和转学成功率，特别关注工程和工程技术领域代表性不足的人群； 2) 一个连接社区大学管理人员的实体和电子社区计划；工程和工程技术教师更有效的教学以及招聘/保留更多元化的教师； 3) 激励和认可社区学院对学生和教师群体多样化的承诺和成功，包括参与 ADRP 计划； 4）一项在国家层面上重新构想工程和工程技术的持续对话计划。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
