Instructor Resources

ATEEC instructional designers develop resources to enrich the teaching of environmental and energy technology and science in two-year college and secondary school programs. The instructional designers collaborate with experts, including:

• ATEEC Fellows, who are educators selected for an annual institute for the purposes of examining cutting-edge environmental issues and assisting with the development and evaluation of ATEEC materals;
• SEET network instructors are selected from the energy technology field to attend an annual professional development workshop at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory for the purposes of development of energy technology instructional materials, curriculum, peer networking, and resource-sharing within ATEEC's Energy Resource Center clearinghouse;
• Instructors in the National Partnership for Environmental Technology Education (PETE), a consortium of environmental technology educators in the nation's two-year colleges;
• Faculty from senior and research universities, particularly through these partnerships:
  • The University of Northern Iowa and
  • The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Laboratory for Energy and the Environment (LFEE);
• The Hazardous Materials Training and Research Institute (HMTRI) , an ATEEC partner that prepares and conducts training programs in a variety of environmental areas, such as water and wastewater technical training and mass casualty response training;
• Industry representatives administering environment, safety, and health regulations in the workplace;
• Government agencies (for example, the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources);
• Non-profit organizations.
