Title: Building a Micro/Nanotechnology Cleanroom Training
The Central Coast Partnership for Regional Industry-Focused Micro/Nanotechnology Education (CC-PRIME) is a regional collaboration between Santa Barbara City College (SBCC), the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), and local industry partners, with the goal of addressing a demonstrated local workforce need in the field. Existing training available through the Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME) was adapted with input from local industry to develop an initial cleanroom training in Micro/Nanotechnology for community college students and faculty. Two summer training sessions have been implemented, with student focus groups and industry feedback guiding modifications and additional training development. Ongoing input from local industry partners and an opportunity to leverage the existing SCME curriculum that project staff and faculty were trained on have proven critical in the development of the training. Access to local cleanroom facilities and staff and initial training for community college faculty were essential to successfully implementing the project. Additional modules and trainings are being developed to build out further and broaden this initial cleanroom training.  more » « less

    Research from undergraduate and K-12 environments suggests that providing meaningful support for Community College students requires faculty and staff to engage in ongoing self-reflection, peer support, and a commitment to research-based pedagogical shifts. Currently, California Community College (CCC) faculty and staff get very few of these opportunities. This study aims to address this issue through an intervention designed to provide opportunities for CCC faculty and staff to be part of a flexible, coherent professional learning community. The intervention is part of an NSF-funded research and development project at a community college in central California designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), with the goal of providing faculty and staff with tools and processes to support students toward higher retention and success in STEM by facilitating “micro-internships.” Micro-internships are designed to reduce inequalities inherent in the traditional internship paradigm by providing access to professional and research skills for students who do not have the opportunities and/or confidence to participate in a more traditional full-length internship. Conversations with participants showed how they embraced the design principles that were negotiated as a project team, and how one or more of the study interventions had played a powerful role in supporting their learning and development toward certain pedagogical shifts. Our results highlight the power of providing spaces such as summer workshops and ongoing “community of practice” meetings for collaboration, professional learning, and peer-to-peer mentorship.

    Research has shown that student achievement is influenced by their access to, or possession of, various forms of capital. These forms of capital include financial capital, academic capital (prior academic preparation and access to academic support services), cultural capital (the attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors related to education which students are exposed to by members of their family or community), and social capital (the resources students have access to as a result of being members of groups or networks). For community college students, many with high financial need and the first in their families to go to college (especially those from underrepresented minority groups), developing programs to increase access to these various forms of capital is critical to their success. This paper describes how a small federally designated Hispanic-serving community college has developed a scholarship program for financially needy community college students intending to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor’s degree in a STEM field. Developed through a National Science Foundation Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) grant, the program involves a collaboration among STEM faculty, college staff, administrators, student organizations, and partners in industry, four-year institutions, local high schools, and professional organizations. In addition to providing financial support through the scholarships, student access to academic capital is increased through an intensive math review program, tutoring, study groups, supplemental instruction, and research internship opportunities. Access to cultural and social capital is increased by providing scholars with faculty mentors; engaging students with STEM faculty, university researchers, and industry professionals through field trips, summer internships, professional organizations, and student clubs; supporting student and faculty participation at professional conferences, and providing opportunities for students and their families to interact with faculty and staff. The paper details the development of the program, and its impact over the last five years on enhancing the success of STEM students as determined from data on student participation in various program activities, student attitudinal and self-efficacy surveys, and academic performance including persistence, retention, transfer and graduation.

    Michigan Tech, West Shore Community College (WSCC), and Gogebic Community College (GCC) collaborate on the NSF ExLENT project aims to provide experiential learning opportunities in Mechatronics for a diverse STEM workforce. The program and its impacts are aligned with the regional economic needs of the Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan areas. The emerging technology field of Mechatronics focuses on developing and implementing advanced automation for industrial applications. Thus, Mechatronics encompasses advanced fields, including robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and cybersecurity. Though the demand for mechatronics expertise is growing, experiential workforce development opportunities in mechatronics are limited. This project will provide ExLENT participants with experiential opportunities through an online Mechatronics Education Portal (MEP), experiential Mechatronics Practice initiatives at Michigan Tech, and a Mechatronics Industry Pathways Rotation organized at WSCC and GCC. The MEP and MP modules will be focused on the five Mechatronics pillars of Robotics, Mechanics, Electronics/Controls, Cybersecurity, and Artificial Intelligence. This project will leverage partnerships among three universities, three nonprofit organizations, and nine regional industry collaborators. Comprehensive program evaluation will ensure that the project meets its objectives in improving interdisciplinary Mechatronics training through experiential learning opportunities, developing a flexible and comprehensive program to promote a diverse and inclusive STEM workforce, and facilitating sustainable collaboration amongst project partners centered around Mechatronic workforce preparation and placement.

    Our community college will utilize funds from an NSF ATE grant to develop and integrate and innovative teaching model designed to prepare future technicians for industry by incorporating soft skills training, career exploration, and entrepreneurship. This collaborative model will formally connect our Center for Workforce Development (CWD) sector with our for-credit engineering technology program, our Business and Innovation Department and with our educational partners. This innovative project will enable our college to strengthen our technician education programs, formalize connections with CWD and our Business and Innovation Department, and prepare students for industry jobs through shadowing opportunities, employment, entrepreneurship, internships, and real-world, collaborative outreach. Our community college will collaborate with our Industry Advisory Board (IAB), CWD, and educational partners to (a) integrate an innovative teaching model for technician education that includes a formalized shadowing and internship program and connects students to opportunities in business and entrepreneurship; (b) require students to take a manufacturing laboratory course to introduce hands-on industry-related experiences; (c) include certifications that award digital badges, military training, and industry experience in our engineering technology program. It is our intention that this model for an enhanced educational experience designed to increase workforce readiness of students will become a blueprint for other programs and institutions.

    There are many individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education— first-generation, low-income, and Black and Hispanic students — where community college serves as a bridge to entering the technical workforce or pursuing higher education. Most of these students attend community college part-time to accommodate their familial obligations, demanding work schedules, and the budget afforded to their education. Numerous studies indicate that increased financial support, engagement in external experiences, and strong faculty mentorship can promote these students; academic and future professional success. The Micro Nano Technology Education Center aims to increase educational equity and diversity by addressing this need by offering community college students nationwide the opportunity to work with and learn from faculty mentors, baccalaureate research universities, and industry partners from across the nation remotely or in person through the Micro Nano Technology Collaborative Undergraduate Research Network. This network works to prepare underserved students for entering the technical workforce or transferring into higher education through funded academic-year and summer capstone experiences along with faculty mentorship, peer mentorship, and weekly networking opportunities. Our results found no statistically significant difference in student-perceived retention, accessibility, or in students' belief that they belong in laboratories where they may not see representation before and after participating in the MNT-CURN program. However, these results indicate positive trends in these areas, and students self-reported that participating in MNT-CURN increased their confidence that they will complete a STEM-based degree.
