Ayslinn Cline

Reaching the stars: Broward College student selected as NASA Scholar

The sky is no longer the limit for Ayslinn Blue Cline. The 21-year-old Broward College student was selected as one of 280 participants in the nation to attend the NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars onsite experience.

Ayslinn ClineCline has been dreaming about space since a very early age and always thought it was out of her reach. After a year at Broward College, she realized her dreams of space and stars are possible.

“During the 2017 summer semester I took an Intro to Astronomy class with Professor Susan Barnett that inspired me,” said Cline. “I’ve always been infatuated with space but I assumed I was not smart enough to pursue a career in it.”

Hoping to become an Aerospace doctor, who specializes in maintaining and improving the health of people that spend long periods of time in outer space, Cline plans to major in Astrobiology first.

“Before discovering my passion for astronomy, I planned on going into pre-med. Even though astronomy has captured my heart, medicine is still an interest of mine so Aerospace Medicine is a perfect mix of the two,” she explains.

NASA Community College Aerospace Scholar

The NCAS internships are offered in the spring and fall semesters and provide a learning opportunity for students pursuing a degree in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Students must first complete a five-week online course to be eligible for a four-day onsite experience at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. The experience provides the opportunity for students to network and learn from NASA engineers and others.

Cline admits the online course was hard work. The course focused on Mars exploration and she was required to submit a final project explaining innovative approaches on how to get humans on to Mars.

As she prepares for her trip, Cline hopes this experience is a chance to learn about NASA’s current projects and prepare her for a future internship at the site.

Living in space

The determination and ambition of Cline to make a mark in the world are visible in her dream to help humanity live on other planets.

“More than anything, I want to see humanity not only live in space but thrive there and I want to work towards achieving this goal. I believe our future is bright and I want to be a part of making that happen,” she says.

Women in STEM

Cline is an admirer of women in space. She looks up to Sally Ride, the first American female in space, who was an engineer, astrophysicist, and ultimately an astronaut. She also has a strong respect for the  “computers”, a team of women at Langley who analyzed all space research data collected by astronauts and made successful spaceflight possible for America. Their story was told through the Oscar-winning movie “Hidden Figures”.

“These women not only changed the future of spaceflight and exploration but opened up many opportunities for other women to work in STEM,” she explains.

Don’t let fear stop you

Cline strongly encourages everyone to pursue their dreams regardless of their fears. Even for herself, finding the determination to pursue a career in a STEM field was hard.

“Some people are worried they can’t do it when they find out how much math is involved but don’t let that scare you away. I am not and never have been great at math and that deterred me for a long time, but the universe is infinitely large and so are our capabilities,” she says.

She also urges fellow students to get hands-on experience in the field they wish to pursue. She recommends volunteering at museums, observatories, and other places that will allow them to get involved in the subject.

Earn New Bachelor’s Degrees in IT at Broward College at Faster, More Affordable Rates (Part 2)

Careers in Information Technology are hotter than ever! The trend is increasing with continued developments in technology and software. Businesses in the region are in need of experts and students can take advantage of this growing demand with two new degrees in Information Technology offered at Broward College.

The BAS in Technology Management with specializations in Tech Management or Big Data, and BAS in Information Technology with specializations in Project Management, Cyber Network Security, Cisco Networking, Microsoft Networking, and Web Development. Both are in-demand fields that offer great career and earning potential.

Affordable

Affordability is usually a major concern for many students who consider pursuing a bachelor's degree. At Broward College, students can complete the 60-credit requirement for their bachelor’s degree at a fraction of what it costs at a state university. View our tuition rates here.

Choose your pace

BC male studentBoth degrees offer students the option to study at their preferred speed. An accelerated pace is available for students to obtain their degree in as little as one year. These are 8-week courses that focus heavily on skill-building. Students can take up to 9 credits at a time, which translates into 18 credits per 16-week semester. But Myers warns that this option may not be right for everybody.

“Students who choose to take the accelerated pace option are expected to already have some kind of experience in IT. They also need to be self-driven to be successful,” she says. “These students must have strong time management skills so they don’t fall behind.”

Another option for students with previous experience in the field is to apply for credit for prior learning. Basically, students will demonstrate that they meet the outcome objectives of any particular course to earn the credits for that course. This must be certified by their previous or current employer and will then be reviewed by the associate dean and the program managers.

The College also offers competency-based learning for students who prefer to complete the class materials through independent study. Students in this path must take unit evaluations to demonstrate their knowledge of the material. This is a great option for students that look for flexibility in their schedule and that want to take their classes at their own pace. However, just as the accelerated pace option, students in this path must be self-driven and with strong time management skills.

Employers are waiting to hire you

The greatest advantage for Broward College graduates is that the programs have been built from the feedback given by employers in the industry. Over the past few years, the College has partnered with local employers that are aware of the certifications and learning outcomes of the courses offered. Employers such as The City of Fort Lauderdale, , Citrix, among others have been hiring Broward College students even before they graduate.

“Our students always stand out as a better value because of all the certifications embedded within their degree,” explains Myers.

New IT Bachelor’s Degrees Now Available at Broward College (Part 1)

New application technologies have transformed nearly every aspect of our lives. Whether we’re ordering food, a ride, or communicating with friends, there’s an app for that. The growing demand for applications and technologies among businesses around the globe are giving rise to growth in opportunities in the field of Information Technology/Computer Science.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Information Technology is one of the fastest growing fields in the national economy. Employment in computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow by 13 percent from 2016 to 2026, faster than the average for all occupations. The latest data from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity statistics show the same trend in Broward County. Read more at Career Source Broward.

To meet this growth, Broward College now offers two new Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) programs. The curricula are designed to ensure graduates of the programs exceed industry demands and expectations of employers.

Choose your area of specialization

BC studentThe degrees offered are BAS in Technology Management with specializations in Tech Management or Big Data, and BAS in Information Technology with specializations in Project Management, Cyber Network Security, Cisco Networking, Microsoft Networking, and Web Development. Graduates will receive the BAS and an advanced technical certification indicating their area of specialization.

While working towards their degree, students will earn technical certificates ordered by the state and industry certifications such as Network Plus, Project Plus, and more.

“These technical certifications are what really makes these degrees more valuable than even some of our university competitors that offer similar programs,” explains Annie Myers, associate dean of Information Technology at Broward College. “Most of the costs for technical certifications are paid for by the College.”

Why choose Broward College?

In addition to the advantage of obtaining most technical certifications for free, students also enjoy flexibility when it comes to scheduling classes. Courses for the degrees are available day and night, giving the opportunity to professionals who are currently employed. Two of the specializations – cybersecurity and project management – can be completed fully online.

“I would really recommend Broward College because the teachers here are great. They are people with experience in the industry that know what employers are looking for so they prepare you for it,” says Erika Hudson, who will graduate with her BAS in Technology Management and an advanced technical certification in Big Data this December.

Hudson, a 37-year old mother, also enjoys the flexibility of taking night classes, which allows her to work full-time at the College to support her daughter.

 “Especially with the online classes, I had a previous bad experience at another institution. At Broward College, the online classes I’ve taken have been great, the professors very responsive and helpful.”

From coding to hackathons, the IT specializations at Broward College also offers workshops to help students gain qualifications and expertise in their desired fields.

With the variety of degrees offered, outstanding faculty, and the free technical certifications embedded within the programs, Broward College stands out among other colleges and universities in South Florida for pursuing an IT specialization.
