All these approaches have value, but for helping students to learn about industrialautomation, dual-credit arrangements are probably the easiest to implement. However, most dualcredit offerings are general academic subjects, such as English, math and science. Some schoolsoffer courses on particular types of technology, such as

The Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program that NSF began in 1993 in response to this legislation expects two-year college educators to have leadership roles in funded initiatives. It also requires two-year college faculty members in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to collaborate with other education sectors and employers in their efforts to create or improve certificate and degree programs. The multiple tracks of the NSF-ATE program provide support for faculty professional development and general STEM education improvement. The program provides support to test innovative ideas along
