Cañada College’s Online and Networked Education for Students in Transfer Engineering Programs (ONE-STEP) is sponsored by the National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers through the Innovations in Engineering Education, Curriculum, and Infrastructure (IEECI) program, Award No. EEC-1032660.
The ONE-STEP project aims to improve community college engineering education through the use of technology. Emphasis will be given to Tablet-PC and wireless network technologies to improve learning through active, interactive, and collaborative instruction, as well as synchronous, two-way online instruction to increase the number and diversity of students transferring to four-year institutions as engineering majors, and maximize the productivity and improve the viability of community college engineering programs.
Objective 1. Assist California community college engineering faculty in developing a Tablet-PC-enhanced interactive model of engineering instruction.
Objective 2. Increase the participation of engineering faculty in developing and implementing online courses using CCC Confer.
Objective 3. Develop partnerships with community colleges without an engineering program to design and implement a joint engineering curriculum that is delivered through CCC Confer.
Summer Engineering Teaching Institute
The Summer Engineering Teaching Institute will assist California community college engineering faculty in developing a Tablet-PC-enhanced interactive model of engineering instruction, and increase their involvement in developing and implementing online courses using CCC Confer—a videoconferencing platform that is available free of charge to all faculty and staff of the California Community College system. For the second year of the program, 20 California engineering faculty will be selected to participate, 10 from Southern California, and 10 from Northern California.
