Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring

自1979年以来，美国印第安人科学与工程学会（AISES）通过其第一个学生分会为学生提供指导和支持。如提案所示，学生分会的数量已增至147个。该提案表明，AISES赋予学生领导技能和信息，以更好地为科学和工程领域的学生做好准备。此外，AISES还提供奖学金，使学生能够继续学习并参加AISES会议，为学生提供相互联系的机会，并与会议上的榜样教师建立联系。通过互联网提供信息，学生们可以很容易地相互联系，并与组织联系。AISES还举办大学前活动，如科学博览会和大学前数学和科学营。通过这些活动，AISES创造了一个培养和鼓励大学预科和大学生追求科学的环境。根据该提案，AISES成员的大学保留率为65%。诸如独特的《变革之风》和《美国印第安大学指南》等材料增强了学生的教育、交往和职业能力。提名人的优势包括：在智力和文化上为学生在科学领域的职业生涯做好准备。提供奖学金和领导培训。参与者回馈社会。包括科学营在内的大学预科项目。越来越多的专业科学家和工程师为美国印第安青年树立了榜样。出版《变革之风》是一个重要的外联机制；另一种吸引学生和榜样的方式。运输部的实习项目。网页创意很好。加拿大和新西兰正在进行复制。总之，AISES已经证明了它是一个独特的组织，可以打开许多学校和大学的大门。鉴于提名中所述的一切，包括其在科学领域令人印象深刻的毕业人数，可以说AISES在指导美国土著青年从事科学方面有着杰出的记录。

American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) has mentored and offered support to students since 1979 through its first student chapter. As the proposal indicates, the number of student chapters has grown to 147. The proposal indicates that AISES has empowered students with leadership skills, and information to better prepare students in science and engineering fields. In addition, AISES has provided scholarships to enable students to continue their education and attend AISES conferences by offering opportunities for students to connect with each other and with faculty who are role models at conferences. By offering information through the Internet students are easily able to connect with each other and with the organization. AISES also conducts precollege activities such as science fairs and pre-college math and science camps. Through these activities, AISES has created an environment that nurtures and encourages pre-college and college students to pursue the sciences. According to the proposal, there is a 65 percent college retention rate for AISES members. Materials such as the unique Winds of Change and American Indian College Guide have empowered students' education, contacts, and career. The strengths of the nominee include: Prepares students for careers in science both intellectually and culturally. Provides scholarships and leadership training. Participants give back to the community. Pre-college program including science camps. Growing network of professional scientists and engineers serve as role models for the American Indian youth. Publication of "Winds of Change" is a major outreach mechanism; another way to engage students and role models. Internship program with the Department of Transportation. Web page idea is good. Replications in Canada and New Zealand are underway. In summary, AISES has dem onstrated that it is a unique organization with connections to open doors in many schools and colleges. For all that is stated in the nomination, including its impressive graduation numbers in the sciences, it can be said that AISES has an outstanding record in mentoring Native American youth in the sciences.
