Enhancing the Community College Pathway to Engineering Careers , a new book from the National Academy of Engineering and the National Research Council, discusses ways to improve the transfer experience for students at community colleges and offers strategies to enhance partnerships between those colleges and four-year engineering schools to help students transfer more smoothly. In particular, the book focuses on challenges and opportunities for improving transfer between community colleges and four-year educational institutions, recruitment and retention of students interested in engineering, the curricular content and quality of engineering programs, opportunities for community colleges to increase diversity in the engineering workforce, and a review of sources of information on community college and transfer students. It includes a number of current policies, practices, and programs involving community college "four-year institution partnerships.EngineeringStudy and teaching (Higher)United StatesCommunity collegesCurriculaUnited StatesEngineeringVocational guidanceUnited StatesEngineeringStudy and teaching (Higher)Community collegesCurriculaEngineeringVocational guidance620.0071/173Mattis Mary C1810970Sislin John1965-1809872National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Enhancing the Community College Pathway to Engineering Careers.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967524103321Enhancing the community college pathway to engineering careers4362546UNINA
