Tribal Colleges and Universities: Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Enhancement

派克堡社区学院（FPCC）是一所部落学院，位于蒙大拿州东北部的派克堡保留地。FPCC为1万名阿西尼博因和苏族人以及当地居民提供学术和职业课程以及社区服务。1999年至2000年，中国人民政协平均在校学生233人。大约85%的学生是印第安人，几乎所有的学生都是苏族和阿西尼博因部落的成员。2000年6月，共有30名副学士毕业生。其中，只有4个（13%）来自科学、数学、工程和技术（SMET）学科。课程改进：目标与预期结果1-1到2003年秋季，所有入学学生将被建议根据考试成绩和以前的成绩参加相应级别的SMET课程。到2004年秋季，教师将把技术整合到6门入门课程中。到2005年秋季，教师将把技术整合到6门先进的中小企业课程中。教师发展：目标和预期结果2-1。每年，两名SMET教师将参加一个区域性或全国性的会议，专门讨论根据国家标准将技术整合到课程中。到2005年春季，所有8名教师将在其他学术机构或国家实验室完成一个学期的交换生或休假。到2003年秋季，每位SMET教师将根据国家标准设计并实施一门基于网络的课程。本科培养：目标与预期结果3-1到2003年秋季，SMET课程的学生入学人数将增加10%。到2004年秋季，将选出10名学生到当地实习。到2005年春季，将有5名学生毕业于SMET专业和/或转学到四年制大学。到2006年春季，将有5名学生进入SMET职业。预期的影响。这个项目将影响到学院和保留地的各个方面。推行适当的评核及学生分班制度，有助提高修业率至70%。计算机实验室和无线通信的增加将增加FPCC的能力，以提供额外的SMET课程和研究，并使高级SMET课程的入学人数增加10%。由于学生实习，SMET专业选择数学、科学和技术职业的比例预计将增加10%。被分配到实习岗位的学生将意识到数学、科学和计算机技术领域的就业机会，尤其是在该地区。网络课程的增加，特别是高级课程的增加，将进一步增加入学率和课程完成率。咨询委员会的参与将增加潜在的培训和服务机会。FPCC将与部落企业和私营公司建立伙伴关系，开展培训和教育，特别是在计算机应用方面。

Project SummaryFort Peck Community College (FPCC), a tribal college, is located on the FortPeck Reservation in northeastern Montana. FPCC provides academic and vocationalprograms and community service to the 10,000 members of the Assiniboine and Siouxtribes and area residents. In 1999-2000, FPCC had an average enrollment of 233 students.Approximately 85% of the students are Native American - nearly all are enrolledmembers of the Sioux and Assiniboine Tribes. In June 2000, there were 30 graduateswith Associate Degrees. Of these, only 4 (13%) were in science, mathematics,engineering and technology (SMET) disciplines.Curriculum Enhancement: Objectives and Anticipated Outcomes1-1. By Fall 2003, all entering students will be advised to enroll in appropriate levelsof SMET courses based on assessment scores and previous achievement.1-2. By Fall 2004, instructors will have integrated technology into 6 introductorySMET courses.1-3. By Fall 2005, instructors will have integrated technology into 6 advanced SMETcourses.Faculty Development: Objectives and Anticipated Outcomes2-1. Each year, two SMET instructors will attend one regional or one nationalconference specifically focused on integrating technology into courses accordingto national standards.2-2. By Spring 2005, all eight SMET instructors will have completed one semester offaculty exchange or sabbatical at another academic institution or nationallaboratory.2-3. By Fall 2003, each SMET instructor will have designed and implemented a Web-based course based on national standards.Undergraduate Training: Objectives and Anticipated Outcomes3-1. By Fall 2003, student enrollment in SMET courses will increase by 10%.3-2. By Fall 2004, ten students will be selected for internship placement in local sites.3-3. By Spring 2005, five students will graduate with SMET majors and/or transfersto four-year institutions.3-4. By Spring 2006, five students will enter SMET careers.Expected Impact. This project will impact the college and reservation in severalways. Implementation of an appropriate system of assessment and student placement inbeginning SMET classes will increase the completion rate to 70%. The addition of thecomputer laboratories and wireless communication will increase the FPCC capacity tooffer additional SMET classes and research and increase enrollment in advanced SMETclasses by 10%. As a result of the student internships, the percent of SMET majorsentering math, science and technology careers is expected to increase by 10%. Thestudents assigned to internships will become aware of career opportunities in math,science and computer technology especially in the region. The addition of the Web-basedcourses, especially advanced courses, will further increase enrollment and coursecompletions. Involvement of the Advisory Committee will increase potential training andservice opportunities. FPCC will enter into partnerships with tribal businesses and privatecompanies for training and education especially in computer applications.
