  1. Next Steps

  2. 1st Step • Work with MHEC about scholarships for Electronics Students (Example) http://www.mhec.state.md.us/pressroom/May2007/May07StateScholarshipMoneyAvailableTeachingNursingPublicServices.asp • If our students could get specialized scholarships, our enrollments could increase. • “PUBLICIZE” the scholarship opportunities to incomming freshmen and sophomore PARENTS.

  3. 2nd Step • Through the assistance of MSDE and MHEC, establish a continuous working relationships with the following Community Colleges, Technical Schools, and Universities of whom offer Electronic related degrees/certifications:

  4. All have Electronics Engineering Programs Baltimore City Community College University Of Maryland - Eastern Shore College Of Southern Maryland University Of Maryland - College Park Frederick Community College University Of Maryland - Baltimore County Howard Community College Loyola College In Maryland Montgomery College Morgan State University Wor-Wic Community College Johns Hopkins University Prince Georges Community College United States Naval Academy

  5. 3rd Step • Keep MSDE and MHEC involved as we establish a continuous working relationships with National Level Electronics Manufacturers such as (for example) Northrup Grumman, K&L Microwave, toy manufactures (Playstation, leapfrog), …etc. • Instead of begging for money, we need: • Sample Products, with Schematics - of products not older than one year and updated annually as newer type products hit the market. • Maybe we could get them to donate Failed Products from their assembly lines with a test set and specs. Why throw them away? • Their technical expertise (teacher summer training, advisement board meetings..etc.) WE MUST KEEP THEM INVOLVED! • Donated test equipment and Robotics that have been upgraded.

  6. 4th StepSpread the word to other states • I would be willing to setup and run a meeting in Kansas City in June during the National SkillsUSA Leadership Conference. • I would have access to the top Secondary and Community College Electronics programs from across the nation. • I could invite other professional affiliates for networking. • We could establish a national infrastructure of Electronics Educators with Program Modeling and sharing.

  7. 5th StepSee if MHEC may consider implementing a Workforce Shortage Student Assistance Grant (WSSAG) for CTE Students. • Make State scholarship money available for students pursuing careers in Electronics through 2x2x2 Career Pathways.

  8. 6th Step • Apply for Grants • NSF National Science Foundation • STEM • Foundations

  9. 7th StepWith the grants, establish Annual Meetings and Training Workshops for Electronics Teachers • Face-to-Face • Online • Hybrid

  10. Finally,This would be a HUGE initiative(May need initial grant support) • To be successful many sectors must become active: • Electronics Teachers • Electronics Industries • MSDE • MHEC • Community Colleges • Universities • Technical Schools

  11. The End-or-Maybe“The NEW Beginning”
