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. 606 $aEngineering$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$zUnited States 606 $aCommunity colleges$xCurricula$zUnited States 606 $aEngineering$xVocational guidance$zUnited States 615 0$aEngineering$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 615 0$aCommunity colleges$xCurricula 615 0$aEngineering$xVocational guidance 676 $a620.0071/173 701 $aMattis$b Mary C$01810970 701 $aSislin$b John$f1965-$01809872 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Enhancing the Community College Pathway to Engineering Careers. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967524103321 996 $aEnhancing the community college pathway to engineering careers$94362546 997 $aUNINA
