Convergence Technology Center grant renewed for 3 years

The NSF ATE grant for the Convergence Technology Center which develops programs and curriculum for Unified Netowkring, Green IT, mobile devices and related topics to share with other community colleges and universities across the U.S. UNT is a partner in the CTC along with El Centro College and Collin College. The Center also currently supports approximately 13 mentored colleges with an additional 21 to be added over the next 3 years. The renewal grant is for approximately $1.56 million over the three years. The CTC is beginning its ninth year of operation. David Keathly is the UNT Co-PI for the CTC program, with other faculty including Ryan Garlick participating in curriculum development and related activities.

Mr. Keathly also attended the recent NSF ATE PI Conference in Washington DC in support of this program. During the conference, he had an opportunity to meet with Congressman Frank Lucas (R - Okla) who is a member of the House Science and Technology Committee (and an old college friend).
