0332690SchroederThis award is to University of Alaska Anchorage to support the activity described below for 36 months. The proposal was submitted in response to the Partnerships for Innovation Program Solicitation (NSF-03521).PartnersThe partners include University of Alaska Anchorage (Lead Institution), University of Hawaii Manoa, University of Washington, Alaska Technical Center, Halau Ku Mana High School, Kotzebue High School, Mt. Edgecumbe High School, Northwest Arctic Borough School District, Wellpinit High School, White Swan High School, Confederated Bands and Tribes of the Yakama Nation, Hewlett-Packard, NANA/Colt Engineering, NANA/Dowl Engineering, Siemens Building Technologies, and Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium.This project seeks to connect remote regions of Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington to college curriculum in mathematics and science via modern state-of-the-art computer laboratories and distance learning and to maintain a program at the University of Alaska-Anchorage, University of Alaska-Fairbanks, University of Washington, and University of Hawaii to foster and retain the students in science and engineering curricula. The team of educators, Native organizations, engineering firms, contractors and research laboratories is working to provide opportunities for Indigenous Americans to put young people on career paths to leadership in industry and academia. The program is a pipeline for students from rural communities to universities and industry partners ready to hire them upon graduation. The program will engage 325 students in five years. The partners have committed approximately $5 million through 2006 to support the activity. This program can be replicated for other regions and indigenous societies in America.Potential Economic ImpactThe intellectual merit of the activity lies in establishment of state-of-the-art computer laboratories in very remote locations, working with local indigenous high school systems to establish the science and mathematics curriculum to prepare the students for college, training the local teachers to use the computer systems and tutor the students, and collaborating with industrial partners who provide equipment, scholarships and job opportunities for the students when they graduate from college.The program brings computer technology to remote communities, provides high school students with a vision of a career in science and engineering, connects students with professionals in industry and academia, provides industrial partners with a technologically trained workforce, and develops the enabling infrastructure necessary to sustain the effort long term.

0332690 SchroederThis奖是阿拉斯加安克雷奇大学支持活动如下所述的36个月。 该提案是为了回应创新计划征求伙伴关系（NSF-03521）而提交的。合作伙伴合作伙伴包括阿拉斯加安克雷奇大学（牵头机构）、夏威夷马诺阿大学、华盛顿大学、阿拉斯加技术中心、Halau Ku Mana高中、Kotzebue高中、Mt. Edgecumbe高中，西北北极自治市学区，韦尔皮尼特高中，白色天鹅高中，亚卡马民族联合乐队和部落，惠普，NANA/柯尔特工程，NANA/道尔工程，西门子建筑技术和阿拉斯加土著部落健康联盟。该项目旨在连接阿拉斯加，夏威夷，和华盛顿大学的数学和科学课程，通过现代国家的最先进的计算机实验室和远程学习，并保持在阿拉斯加大学安克雷奇，阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯，华盛顿大学，和夏威夷大学，以培养和留住学生的科学和工程课程。由教育工作者、土著组织、工程公司、承包商和研究实验室组成的团队正在努力为土著美国人提供机会，使年轻人走上工业和学术界领导的职业道路。该计划是一个管道，为学生从农村社区到大学和行业合作伙伴准备雇用他们毕业后。该计划将在五年内吸引325名学生。合作伙伴已承诺在2006年年底前提供约500万美元支助这项活动。该计划可以在美国其他地区和原住民社会复制。潜在的经济影响该活动的智力价值在于在非常偏远的地方建立最先进的计算机实验室，与当地原住民高中系统合作建立科学和数学课程，为学生上大学做好准备，培训当地教师使用计算机系统并辅导学生，该计划将计算机技术带到偏远社区，为高中生提供科学和工程职业生涯的愿景，将学生与工业和学术界的专业人士联系起来，为工业合作伙伴提供技术培训的劳动力，并发展长期维持这一努力所必需的基础设施。
