What is ATE?• The Science and
Advanced Technology Act of 1992 mandated the creation of ATE
• Focuses on the education of science and engineering technicians
• Community colleges have leadership roles on all projects.

Talking Points How have you built strategic business/industry
partnerships, to support your program and support program graduates?
What industry driven curriculum is being adapted by ATE centers and community college partners?
Have you interwoven industry credentials/certifications into a rigorous educational program, and are the career pathways transparent to students (step –in/step-out points)?
What strategies have you employed to ensure timely student completion through your programs?
What has been the impact on business/industry of the program graduates who are currently working (employee impact)?

NSF Focus on Community Colleges Building American Skills by Strengthening Community
CollegesPresident Obama set two national goals: by 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world, and community colleges will produce an additional 5 million graduates.
Role of Community Colleges in Undergraduate Education
• Community colleges serve ~44% of the undergraduate students in the United States.• Half of the students who receive a baccalaureate
degree attend community college in the course of their undergraduate studies.http://www.aacc.nche.edu/AboutCC/Trends/Pages/studentsatcommunitycolleges.aspx
