The Birds of a Feather Sessions took place during the 17th National Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Principal Investigators Conference on October 28, 2010. This report addresses the conference theme, “ATE Student Success: Building a Diverse and Entrepreneurial Workforce,” and encompasses the work of more than 400 session participants as they identified key challenges that the ATE community faces in two key areas: 1) developing workplace and entrepreneurial skills and 2) increasing workforce diversity by serving underrepresented populations.
