But stepping up to the challenge will require dramatic redesign of these institutions, their missions, and, most critically, their students’ educational experiences.” AN IMPERILED DREAM ▪Median income in the United States stagnated between 1972 and 2000. Since 2000, median family income has declined by ~8%. ▪The American middle class is shrinking. Census data reveal that nearly half of all Americans –a record number –either have fallen into poverty or have earnings that classify them as low income. AN IMPERILED DREAM ▪A child born poor in the United States today is more likely to remain poor than at any time in our history. ▪The American dream has stalled. Nations such as Norway, Sweden, and Canada now outperform the U.S. in educational attainment and intergenerational economic mobility. THE CHALLENGE The U.S., long the world leader, now ranks 16th in the world in completion rates for 25-34-year-olds. By 2018, nearly two-thirds of all American jobs will require a postsecondary certificate or an associate or baccalaureate degree. THE OPPORTUNITY ATEP’s goal is to create a Regional Center for Global Innovation that is fully integrated in the local culture, community, business, and educational institutions. ATEP is a sustainable community that is nimble, flexible, fully integrated and designed for the next generation of innovators and students. INTRODUCTION ATEP’s purpose is to develop a vibrant environment with a focus on advanced technology and workforce development by building a strategic educational partnership with public and private industry that will foster synergistic collaborations between educational instruction and emerging technology businesses. VISION As the premier center of career-technical education in Orange County, ATEP will prepare students in current and emerging technological careers for a globally competitive economy. MISSION To offer applied education and training programs in current and emerging technological careers driven by innovative business, industry, and education partnerships. Designed for Career Technical Innovations Designed for Career Technical Innovations IVC ATEP labs shall be accessible and on display for the students, the instructors, industry partners, visitors and the surrounding community. IVC Integrated Design, Engineering and Automation Programs at ATEP IVC Integrated Design, Engineering and Automation Programs at ATEP ▪Electronics Lab ▪Alternative Energy Lab ▪Model Design Prototype Lab ▪Laser Optics and Photonics Lab ▪Automation and Controls ▪Design Model Production ▪Mechatronics Automation Engineering Technology ▪Solar and Alternative Energy MECHATRONICS AUTOMATION ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY LAB The program prepares students to work as automation and robotics engineering technologists in all phases of industry where the control of production, distribution and/or manufacturing is conducted by an automated process. Graduates of the Automation Engineering Technology program may develop and test industrial process control systems, supervise the building and testing of prototypes, or supervise and conduct the installation and operation of such systems. BUILDING AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY Students will gain practical experience using control systems, such as computers, or robots, and information technologies for handling different processes and machineries.
