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. 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$zUnited States 606 $aTechnology$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$zUnited States 606 $aEngineering$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$zUnited States 606 $aMathematics$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$zUnited States 606 $aCommunity colleges$zUnited States 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aTechnology$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aEngineering$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aMathematics$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aCommunity colleges 676 $a374.973 701 $aOlsen$b Steven$01602366 701 $aLabov$b Jay B$g(Jay Brian)$01813377 712 02$aNational Academy of Engineering. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Higher Education and Workforce. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPolicy and Global Affairs. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Life Sciences. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bDivision on Earth and Life Studies. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Science Education. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bDivision of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966258303321 996 $aCommunity colleges in the evolving STEM education landscape$94471645 997 $aUNINA
