Title Pathways to STEM Higher Education - The College of Technology
Year 2014
Published
Abstract The College of Technology (COT) is a nationally-recognized educational model that creates unique opportunities for Connecticut community college students to showcase the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs in cohesive, collective, and university-matriculating learning environments. Furthermore, from the support of government funding resources, regional educational consortiums, and local business and industry partners, it will be shown that COT students are capable of receiving industry training, professional training, scholarships, internships, and ultimately, effortless Connecticut university transfer. In this paper, two STEM pathways will be explored (including 2-year engineering technology and 4-year engineering science programs); along with STEM-based higher-education programs such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) project center: the Regional Center for Next Generation Manufacturing (RCNGM) and the NSF project grant: the Life Support and Sustainable Living (LSSL) Program.
