Popis: The New Jersey Center for Advanced Technological Education (NJCATE), is dedicated to the improvement of Engineering Technology education through: the development of innovative educational programmes, such as the Mecomtronics Engineering Technology curriculum; design and development of instructional methodologies and materials; student recruitment and retention strategies; strong partnerships among educational institutions and with industry, government and professional societies. Changes in any one facet of technician education are not sufficient to bring about the needed improvement in the preparation of a highly skilled technical workforce to meet current and future needs of industry in a highly competitive global economy NJCATE is creating systemic change by taking a holistic approach to the redesign of engineering technician education. The Center project is supported by funds from the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education Program.
