Community Colleges in the Evolving STEM Education Landscape
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309256542
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
The National Research Council (NRC) and National Academy of Engineering (NAE) have released a new report, Community Colleges in the Evolving STEM Education Landscape: Summary of a Summit. Based on a national summit that was supported by the National Science Foundation and organized by the NRC and the NAE, the report highlights the importance of community colleges, especially in emerging areas of STEM (Sciene, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and preparation of the STEM workforce. Community colleges are also essential in accommodating growing numbers of students and in retraining displaced workers in skills needed in the new economy. Community Colleges in the Evolving STEM Education Landscape: Summary of a Summit looks at the changing and evolving relationships between community colleges and four-year institutions, with a focus on partnerships and articulation processes that can facilitate student success in STEM; expanding participation of students from historically underrepresented populations in undergraduate STEM education; and how subjects, such as mathematics, can serve as gateways or barriers to college completion.

The Status of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Education in Community, Technical, and Junior Colleges
Author: Leslie Koltai
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
An overview is provided of the status and future of science, engineering, and mathematics education in public two-year colleges. In addition, results of several national-level studies are reviewed, and 15 recommendations developed by the National Task Force for the Improvement of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Education in Community, Technical, and Junior Colleges are presented. Parts I through III of this report provide background to the study; examine the role of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges in advancing science, math, and engineering education; review study methodology; and provide an overview of the report. Part IV discusses the important role of two-year college faculty in the success of student pursuing careers in science and technology. Part V profiles students enrolled in such programs and discusses influences on their success. This section also discusses pre-college students, examining Scholastic Aptitude Test scores and noting the factors which may influence students to pursue science and mathematics in higher education. Part VI stresses the need for a curricular reform that emphasizes science literacy in two-year colleges. Part VII summarizes relevant data generated by several national studies, and data acquired from a review of state documents. This section examines student enrollments, program financing, and state support, and presents the results of a survey of two-year college coordinating offices. Parts VIII and IX present recommendations dealing with state and local college boards, local colleges, faculty and staff, and national concerns. A 26-item bibliography, and a list of task force members are included. (JMC)
