The National Science Foundation's Division of Undergraduate Education has several funding programs of particular significance to two-year colleges. The Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program promotes improvement in technological education at the undergraduate and secondary school levels by supporting curriculum development; the preparation and professional development of college faculty and secondary school teachers; internships and field experiences for faculty, teachers, and students; and other activities. With an emphaisis on two-year colleges, the program also promotes articulation between programs at two-year colleges and four-year colleges and universities--in particularly between two-year and four-year programs for prospective teachers and between two-year and four-year programs in science technology, engineering, and mathematics (with a focus on disciplines that have a strong technological foundation). Fields supported by the ATE program include, but are not limited to, agricultural technology, biotechnology, chemical technology, computer and information technology, electronics, environmental technology, geographic information systems, manufacturing and engineering technology marine technology, multimedia technology, telecommunications, and transportation technology.

HI-TEC is produced by a consortium of NSF Advanced Technological Education centers and projects. For more information about producing HI-TEC, click here .
