enrollment.<\/p><p>Photonics associate degree programs at two-year colleges across the nation must all acquire robust enrollments to assure their continued existence\u2014and to produce an adequate technician workforce for the U.S. photonics industry. Increased enrollments and more completers strengthen such programs, which in turn benefits deserving students who are interested in pursuing very rewarding careers in an interesting and dynamic field.<\/p><p>The purpose of this monograph is to propose a plan and describe a strategy for developing and maintaining strong, effective student recruitment to support program enrollment. The monograph presents the need and rationale for focused student recruitment, strategies for using current students as program recruiters, and the benefits these students acquire by serving as recruiters. Specifically, recruiting new students helps current students gain \u201csoft skills\u201d that employers value in new employees, including skills in team building, leadership, planning, scheduling, evaluating, data collecting, and record keeping. The closing sections of the document provide information about proven resources and recruitment events.<\/p><p>We hope this document will spark interest in using students as recruiters among faculty members who desperately need this help. Comments and suggestions are welcome and will be considered if and when a revision is called for.<\/p><p><strong style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">Author(s):<\/strong><span style=\"font-size:

other biomedical equipment, lighting, digital equipment and devices, energy sources and conservation, virtual and augmented reality, and environmental monitoring. Photonics technicians engage in creative, rewarding careers that can lead to professional advancements and leadership opportunities.<\/p><p>Photonics is uniquely interesting, but it can be challenging for technician students to complete a two-year associate degree program that requires understanding and using significant math and physics principles, as well as electronics, controls, and materials sciences. Excellent photonics technicians are hands-on learners who can\u00a0understand all these principles and technologies if they are presented in the context of how they are used\u2014and\u00a0if they are willing to face the challenges, study and work hard.<\/p><p>Some photonics students are not prepared; others lack motivation, and still others lack confidence that they can\u00a0complete this program of study. Dropout rates among photonics students can be high, but the experiences of\u00a0seasoned photonics faculty members have proven that retention can be greatly improved through the use and\u00a0adaptation of proven strategies. This monograph collects these successful strategies and offers them to other\u00a0faculty members so that they may greatly increase their students\u2019 completion rates.<\/p><p><strong>Author(s):<\/strong>\u00a0Dan Hull<\/p><p><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0OP-TEC<\/p><p><strong>Year:<\/strong>\u00a02017<\/p><p><strong>Category:<\/strong>\u00a0Monographs and

To remedy this problem, institutions of higher education have begun offering certificates, internships, and other trusted credentials that ensure that their graduates will be employable.<\/p><p>However, when students\u2019 postsecondary education includes substantial career preparation in science, engineering, technology, business, or health services, they continue to enter promising careers\u2014with one caveat: these students must also be guided to understand their fields of employment, identify employers in their fields, gain experience in the workplace, and make thoughtful decisions about job opportunities and possible locations where they might live and work. Institutions and their faculty have a responsibility to not only educate and train students for work, but also provide them with information, experiences, job preparation tasks, and contacts with potential employers.<\/p><p>Every year, employers in fields such as photonics demand more new technicians than community and technical colleges are producing. Students who complete these education and training programs receive multiple job offers at very substantial salaries. But for technician students to make the best choices, they must be prepared to evaluate their own interests and needs, and they must be connected to relevant employers. Although most colleges give students some help as they search for jobs, the primary responsibility lies with the faculty. Experienced faculty members have become sensitized to this need and have developed experiences, tools, and strategies that prepare their students for rewarding and successful employment.<\/p><p>We asked college faculty members who have been teaching photonics technician students for periods ranging from eight to thirty years to share with us the strategies, experiences, and resources they use to help their students secure desirable jobs in a timely manner. We also asked photonics employers who have hired many technicians from two-year colleges to share with us the criteria they use to interview and select candidates for employment in their organizations. Here, we draw on the contributions and recommendations of these educators and employers to describe successful strategies, models, and tools for student placement.<\/p><p>Some of the ideas we present may not be useful for all colleges. Their usefulness will depend on your institution\u2019s location, the technical emphases of your coursework, and the support available from your college, former students, and employer advisory committees. We recommend reviewing the various ideas, choosing the ones that are most appropriate for your situation, and developing a suitable Plan for Student Placement.<\/p><p><strong>Author(s):<\/strong>\u00a0 Dan Hull with contributions from Gary Beasley, Ron Darbee, Dorian McIntire, Frank Reed, Fred Seeber, Bill Shiner, and Gordon Snyder.<br

with twenty two contributors, including eight chapters from different STEM technology fields. The book presents a win-win solution to two problems that are facing our nation:<\/p><blockquote><p>1) we don\u2019t have enough technicians to support continued technological innovation or to staff the organizations that could improve our country\u2019s security and economic position in the world; and<\/p><p>2) we don\u2019t have adequate educational opportunities for capable students who might be interested in entering rewarding careers as technicians.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>STEM technicians are a crucial part of the technical workforce needed to maintain our national security and economic prosperity. This technical workforce is like a three-legged stool, consisting of scientists, engineers, and technicians; the leg of this stool in shortest supply is technicians who, according to Dan Hull are the \u201cgeniuses of the labs and masters of the equipment.\u201d Dan is a Registered Professional Engineer with over 13 years of experience in laser engineering and management, and 30 years in technical education research and development.<\/p><p>The book is both a visionary document and a how-to manual. The solution proposed in the book is to create career pathways for STEM technicians in the existing 4000 STEM high schools that would inform, encourage, recruit, and prepare students to enter community college associate degree programs in emerging technologies. \u201cWe already have the tools and institutions in place to implement the proposed solution,\u201d says Hull, \u201cthe dilemma is that not enough students are enrolling in emerging technology associate degree programs, and most STEM high schools are not attracting and serving the students who have the greatest potential to become the technicians we need.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-610f8cf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"610f8cf\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9ca7253\" data-id=\"9ca7253\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8235a0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"8235a0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Downloadable resources for planning, updating &amp; supporting optics and photonics programs.
