Presidential Awards for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring

美国印第安人科学与工程学会(AISIS)自1979年以来一直通过其第一个学生分会指导和支持学生。正如提案所表明的那样，学生分会的数量已经增加到147个。该提案表明，AISS赋予了学生领导技能和信息的能力，使他们能够更好地为科学和工程领域的学生做好准备。此外，AISS还提供奖学金，通过为学生提供相互联系的机会，以及与在会议上树立榜样的教职员工建立联系，使学生能够继续接受教育并参加AISS会议。通过互联网提供信息，学生们能够很容易地相互联系，并与组织联系。AISS还举办大学预科活动，如科学博览会和大学预科数学和科学夏令营。通过这些活动，AISS创造了一个培养和鼓励预科学生和大学生追求科学的环境。根据该提案，ACES成员的大学保留率为65%。《独特的变革之风》和《美国印第安人大学指南》等材料增强了学生的教育、人脉和职业发展。这位被提名者的优势包括：在智力和文化方面为学生在科学领域的职业生涯做好准备。提供奖学金和领导力培训。参与者回馈社会。包括科学夏令营在内的大学预科课程。越来越多的专业科学家和工程师网络成为美国印第安人青年的榜样。出版《变革之风》是一种主要的外展机制，也是吸引学生和榜样的另一种方式。交通部的实习计划。网页点子不错。加拿大和新西兰的复制工作正在进行中。总而言之，AISS已经证明，它是一个独特的组织，与许多学校和大学的大门建立了联系。尽管提名中提到了这一切，包括其令人印象深刻的科学毕业人数，但可以说，AISS在指导美国原住民青年科学方面有着出色的记录。

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.
