SUMMARY:Launching the Journal of Micro Nano Technology Education at MNT-EC
DESCRIPTION:It has long been said that at four-year institutions\, faculty have to publish or perish; at two-year institutions that requirement is not as stringent but could be helpful to faculty progression. The MNT-EC Journal Working Group would like to help faculty at a two-year institution become more familiar on how to do research and write a journal article for publication. As faculty at two-year institutes increase their familiarity in this area\, they can share this experience with their students. The students can gain research and writing skills that can serve them if they choose to transfer to a four-year institution. \nPresenters: \n\nPeter Kazarinoff\, Co-PI of the MNT-EC and faculty at Portland Community College\nNeda Habibi\, Co-PI of MNT-Ec and faculty at Northwest Vista College\n Atilla Cakmak

SUMMARY:Re-taping of Business Indystry Leadership Team (BILT) Session 1
DESCRIPTION:The Business & Industry Leadership Team Model (BILT) is an employer high-engagement model for college programs\, projects\, and grants that originated with the NSF National Convergence Technology Center (DUE 1700530) in the early 2000s. The model is widely used to deepen employer involvement in educational programs producing such benefits as curriculum better-aligned to meet employer needs\, increased support for recruitment of students\, and others. The two webinars on March 16 and 24 together will provide high-level coverage of the many specifics that make the model work. The origins of the BILT will be explained to set context; key details ranging from employer recruitment to using a structured\, repeatable process for the employers to prioritize the Knowledge\, Skills\, and Abilities desired in the “workforce-ready” graduates in the future will be explained; model variants for colleges\, NSF ATE projects\, and NSF ATE Centers will be discussed; resources will be identified; and questions will be answered. \nPresenter: Ann Beheler

SUMMARY:SEMI Certification Model - MNT-EC partners
DESCRIPTION:This one-day workshop will introduce the specific Certification Model developed by SEMI-Cert and NEATEC for technician education programs (A.A.S\, A.O.S.\, BS) – Intended for Community College or four-year colleges with technical programs that are willing to determine if SEMI Certification is appropriate to their programs. \nInstructor: Abe Michelen \nPurpose: Expand the reach and impact of the SEMI-Cert Center to regions in the U.S outside New York State in support of proposed MNT-EC Center. \nThis one-day workshop will introduce the specific Certification Model developed by SEMI-Cert and NEATEC for technician education programs (A.A.S\, A.O.S.\, BS) \n\nGeneral Intro and Overview: 9:00am-10:30 PST\nInvite Hands-on Session: 12:00pm-1:30pm PST\n\nSEMI / NEATEC Process\nThe SEMI / NEATEC Certification Process profiles courses and programs to determine alignment with industry requirements. These educational competencies are compared to the SEMI/NEATEC Unified Competency Model (UCM)\, which is maintained by industry through a SEMI facilitated process. Once a course or a program is profiled\, the course and/or program data are added to the SEMI Works™Portal. The SEMI Works™ Portal uses the data to match those seeking training to providers. \nActivities\n\nReview partner technician education programs to check if these programs align with the Proficiency-driven Academic Alignment Program (AAP) developed by SEMI-Cert. \n\nBenefits\n\nGreater alignment between courses and industry requirements.\nThe ability to match courses to those seeking training.\nImproved marketing and increased awareness of aligned courses by individuals and employers.\n\n

SUMMARY:MNTeSIG LIVE! 2021 Virtual Confernece
DESCRIPTION:The Micro Nano Technology Education Special Interest Group is proud to bring you the MNTeSIG LIVE! 2021 Virtual Confernece \nOUR MISSION: Foster collaboration between educators at all LEVELS\, INDUSTRY\, and AGENCIES for relentless improvement of the micro and nanotechnology workforce. \nWe are currently taking submissions for papers\, posters\, abstracts\, and presentations!\n\nMicro and Nanotechnology and related topics will be considered as well as strategies on how to best teach these effectively at the undergraduate (2-4yr) level.\nYour MNT students are also encouraged to submit a poster abstract highlighting projects\, and undergraduate research experiences. The target audience for this conference is post-secondary educators and students.\nYou can submit an abstract for a Presentation\, Poster\, and/or Paper for publications in the soon to be released Journal of Micro Nano Technician Education (JMTEd). In other words\, you can do a poster and submit a paper or submit a presentation and a poster\, or all three or just one!\nAll accepted submissions will require a 2-5min Lightening Round style video giving the highlights of your talk/paper/poster due one month prior to the conference. These will be shown during the lightening round sessions at the conference.\nPapers will be posted on the MNTeSIG Website and reviewed/considered for publication in JMTEd.

SUMMARY:Never Go in with a Blank Sheet of Paper: A Guide for Educators with a Desire to Reach and Work with Industry
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED \nMore information will be available at a later date for participants to access this session. \nEducators at all levels desire for their students to succeed. For Community College educators teaching technical education course success is often defined as “graduates getting jobs”. Achievement of this goal is often tied to having a direct correlation between the student outcomes from the courses in the program and the industry requirements for new hires at a technician level. Industry participation in CC technical education programs is critical to ensure this correlation and also provide students with insight into the career environment and the myriad of opportunities available. \nThis workshop will focus on a three-step process that educators can follow to prepare them to: \n\nsuccessfully execute the initial contact with industry\nbe prepared for a “face to face” meeting with an industry person and\ninvite participation of the industry/company as a supporting participant in the technician program.\n\nDuring the workshop the participants will walk through the process for their particular technical education program and industry segment. Workshop results will be a checklist of items to complete and various suggestions as well as the first draft of the content that will go on a “blank sheet of paper”. \nPresenter: Deb Newberry\, Founder and CEO- Newberry Technologies \n
