Technology
and Environmental Decisionmaking modules provide
high-quality instructional materials on CD-ROM for college and high school
instructors. ATEEC and MIT's Laboratory for Energy and the Environment have
formed a partnership to bring cutting-edge research on environmental
technologies into the classroom. A set of seven learning modules are one of the
results of this partnership. Each module focuses on using science and critical
thinking skills to learn about an important environmental issue concerning:

Best Practices: A Guidebook for Environmental Technology Credit Programs was developed by successful environmental technology educators and includes the curriculum development experience of the ATEEC instructional design group. The 400+ pages of the Guidebook are in the format of an environmentally friendly CD-ROM. The PDF file format allows flexibility in reading about, printing, and searching for topics of interest. Hundreds of hot links take you to the World Wide Web for additional resources. Click here to view the Best Practices Guidebook brochure or PowerPoint presentation. |

Critical Issues in Environmental Technology: Creating Dynamic Links between Research, Education and Business and Industry is the result of a forum sponsored by the Advanced Technology Environmental Education Center and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Energy and the Environment. The report recommends strategies for improving the information exchange between environmental researchers, educators, and practitioners. Click here to view the Critical Issues report online in PDF format. |
DACUM (Develop a Curriculum) workshops are led by trained facilitators, utilizing a structured group interview with expert practitioners. The goal of the DACUM process is to gather industry input to analyze a real-world occupation or task and to use that information to develop or revise a curriculum or training materials. Colleges find the DACUMs valuable as a starting point for determining curriculum topics. ATEEC and PETE have a number of trained facilitators who may be contracted to lead DACUM workshops.
DACUM Experience video captures the experience of participating in a Develop A CurriculUM panel and the subsequent development of the instructional design strategy for curriculum.

Defining Environmental Technology in the New Millennium report validates and updates occupational information from ATEEC's 1996 report. It uses information from the critical issues mentioned above to define the environmental technology field and identify occupational categories and job functions. Click here to view the 2001 version of the report in PDF format. |
Defining Environmental Technology wall chart sums up the information from the report of the same title and presents "at-a-glance" clear and concise definitions, job categories, and job titles in the field of environmental technology. A great reminder for educators providing guidance to students and for human resources personnel. (Sold only in packets of five.)

Energy Services and Technology Educational Resources The Partnership for Environmental Technology Education (PETE) has developed the Energy Services and Technology Program, a series of educational resources to help community/technical colleges establish energy-related degree and certificate programs. Energy Services Careers is a 27-page booklet (also available online in PDF format) that defines occupational areas, job titles, and job functions in the energy services career field. The Best Practices for Planning an Energy Services & Technology Curriculum Guide is a CD-ROM that covers practical aspects of introducing an energy program on your campus--from teaching to program review to administrative practices.
