This release prepared by the Tri-County Technical College Public Relations Department. The ATE Scholars initiative is an effort to attract, retain and graduate a greater number of engineering technicians to meet the needs of industry. ATE students enroll in four interrelated courses taken simultaneously during the semester. The program helps the students to understand the value of using math, science, engineering technology and communication skills through solving real-world problems. We are changing the learning environment.
Students retain information better and learn faster.
It's a hands-on approach that is working. Results show that 17 of the 19 students enrolled last semester in ATE classes completed the first term.
