Developing a Technology Articulation Program: The Need for Articulation.
McNutt, Anne
Nashville State Technical Institute is currently involved in an Advanced Technology Articulation Demonstration Project, a collaborative effort with Tennessee State University (TSU), two local high schools, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the Center for Occupational Research and Development (CORD), and the State Department of Education. The various cooperating agencies are each responsible for certain aspects of the project. Serving as the coordinator of the project, Nashville Tech: (1) formulated an industrial advisory group to review program articulation and advise on competencies to be taught; (2) entered into an articulation agreement with the two local school systems, identified the two high schools to be included in the project, and assisted in the implementation of a CORD-developed Principles of Technology course at the two schools; (3) developed an Advanced Principles of Technology laboratory with TVA funding; and (4) in cooperation with CORD and the State Department of Education, provided training in advanced technology to high school instructors. The two local school systems implemented the Principles of Technology course, developed a hands-on laboratory, selected instructional staff for training, and arranged for counselor orientation. TSU's role was primarily in the area of project evaluation, while CORD's main function was to advise on the implementation of the Principles of Technology course. Project funding came from the TVA and State Department of Education. The first year of the program has convinced both faculty and administrators at Nashville Tech that the project is beneficial. Course outlines are appended. (AYC)
