Highlights of this year's event include keynote addresses by industry leaders, one on each day of the conference. Participants will need to register (either individually or as an institution) to access the live virtual sessions and "on-demand" content. The virtual conference will feature live keynotes and panels, as well as a variety of "on-demand" pre-recorded sessions that will be available for six months after the conference.
The conference will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, July 21-22, starting at noon EDT. Charged with preparing America's skilled technical workforce, the event focuses on the preparation needed by the existing and future workforce for companies in the high-tech sectors that drive our nation's economy.ĭue to public health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, HI-TEC 2021 will be held virtually this year.

Integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches, the mixed methods research study examines faculty professional development, adaptation and implementation of contextualized mathematics in the classroom, and the impact of contextualized mathematics on students' educational and career outcomes in advanced manufacturing, engineering technology, biotechnology, construction technology, and transportation technology.
Building on findings from a pilot study, the research team composed of university researchers and faculty and institutional researchers at two-year colleges will investigate the adaptation, implementation, and outcomes of contextualized mathematics, a promising instructional approach designed to improve teaching and learning mathematics by connecting mathematics with academic/occupational content and applications in the workplace. At the same time, completing courses and mastering mathematics remain major areas of struggle for students who are pursuing degrees and certification in advanced technological programs at community and technical colleges.
Contextualize to Learn: Preparing Faculty Toward Math Contextualization for Student Success in Advanced Technological Education Ĭompetency in mathematics is the cornerstone of educational and career success in the Nation's established and emerging technical fields in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
