This project will address these issues; under-prepared Native students, poorly designed courses, and a need for water and wastewater technicians. The project proposes to investigate the literature regarding Native American and Native Alaskan learning styles and to design, develop, deliver and evaluate six short, online technical courses for the Environmental Technology Program at UAS - Sitka. Sound teaching strategies, designed and tested through this project, will be adopted for the rest of the UAS - Sitka Environmental Technology Program, and other technical distance program at the university will be encouraged to use them. Strategies will also be appropriate for other STEM courses and programs, and could be valuable for Native American students throughout the country. Skills developed, during study in the security of their home community, will encourage Native students to enroll in STEM programs and should increase retention and graduation rates.

该项目将解决这些问题；土著学生准备不足、课程设计不当以及对水和废水处理技术人员的需求。 该项目提议调查有关美洲原住民和阿拉斯加原住民学习方式的文献，并为锡特卡无人机系统的环境技术项目设计、开发、提供和评估六门短期在线技术课程。 通过该项目设计和测试的良好教学策略将被UAS-锡特卡环境技术项目的其余部分采用，并鼓励大学的其他技术远程项目使用这些策略。 这些策略也适用于其他 STEM 课程和项目，并且对于全国各地的美国原住民学生来说可能很有价值。 在家乡社区的安全学习期间培养的技能将鼓励本地学生参加 STEM 课程，并应提高保留率和毕业率。
