Kapiolani Community College is implementing a comprehensive plan that adapts and integrates research-based best practices with successful campus-based innovations to increase the numbers of high school students entering STEM majors as well as the numbers of students completing associate and baccalaureate degrees in STEM fields. This plan includes integrating high school student recruitment and intensive Summer Bridge preparation; intrusive advising; supplemental instruction by peer mentors; undergraduate research in the College's evolving STEM Learning Center; faculty-student engagement in web-based course strategies and community based research and service; and e-portfolio and resume development. The College is strongly committing to prepare its diverse island students for transfer to and graduation from four-year institutions and success in STEM Careers. The project's four major goals are:1) Increasing the number of students in the College's STEM pipeline from 185 to 485 while providing ongoing support.2) Increasing the number of Associate in Science degree completers from zero to 290.3) Increasing the number of students matriculating to two collaborating institutions, theUniversity of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM) and UH Hilo (UHH), from 90 to 280.4) Institutionalizing and providing ongoing support for STEM students in the pipeline.The College's e-portfolio system is providing assessment data on the student experience, student outcomes, as well as providing a platform for STEM student degree and career exploration and resume development. The project is also building on and extending successful STEM strategies to high achieving students, especially those of Pacific and Filipino ancestry who are under-represented in STEM fields.The Broader Impact includes extending STEM opportunities to students at six major feeder high schools, establishing an Associate in Science degree with concentrations in Life Science and Physical Science which can be adopted and adapted by other two-year campuses in the University of Hawaii system, and have statewide impact in producing additional STEM majors and degree completers. STEM undergraduate research pathways is connecting students to UH baccalaureate campuses, national research labs, and careers in STEM industries. Existing service-learning partnerships are enabling students to complete STEM-related research projects that positively impact schools, communities, and ecosystems. Regionally, successful STEM strategies are being shared through faculty and student conference and web-based presentations with 13 other Pacific island colleges through the "Islands of Opportunity: Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP)" grant recently funded by NSF. Nationally, KCC is sharing successful STEM strategies, pathways, and degrees through faculty and student presentations at conferences of the League for Innovation in the Community Colleges, the American Society of Electrical Engineers in Honolulu in June 2007, the regional Hawaii Space Grant Consortium and Campus Compact and others. The College is also providing STEM-related civic engagement training and technical assistance for colleges and universities in ten states per year through Campus Compact.

Kapiolani社区学院正在实施一项综合计划，将基于研究的最佳实践与成功的校园创新相结合，以增加进入STEM专业的高中生人数以及完成STEM领域副学士和学士学位的学生人数。 该计划包括整合高中学生招聘和密集的夏桥准备;侵入式咨询;同伴导师的补充指导;在学院不断发展的STEM学习中心进行本科研究;师生参与基于网络的课程战略和基于社区的研究和服务;以及电子投资组合和简历开发。 该学院坚定地致力于准备其多样化的岛屿学生转移到四年制院校和毕业，并在干事业的成功。该项目的四个主要目标是：1）将学院STEM管道中的学生人数从185人增加到485人，同时提供持续的支持。2）将理学副学士学位完成者的人数从零增加到290人。3）将两所合作机构夏威夷马诺阿分校（UHM）和夏威夷大学希洛分校（UHH）的学生人数从90人增加到280人。4）将STEM管道中的学生制度化并提供持续的支持。该项目还建立在成功的STEM战略的基础上，并将其扩展到成绩优异的学生，特别是那些在STEM领域代表性不足的太平洋和菲律宾血统的学生。更广泛的影响包括将STEM机会扩展到六所主要支线高中的学生，建立一个科学副学士学位，在生命科学和物理科学的浓度，可以通过和其他两个适应-在夏威夷系统的大学一年的校园，并在生产额外的STEM专业和学位完成全州的影响。STEM本科研究途径将学生连接到UH学士学位校园，国家研究实验室和STEM行业的职业生涯。现有的服务学习伙伴关系使学生能够完成与STEM相关的研究项目，这些项目对学校，社区和生态系统产生积极影响。在区域一级，成功的STEM战略正在通过教师和学生会议以及通过最近由NSF资助的“机会之岛：路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP）”赠款与其他13所太平洋岛屿学院分享。在全国范围内，KCC正在通过教师和学生在社区学院创新联盟会议上的演讲分享成功的STEM战略，途径和学位，2007年6月在檀香山举行的美国电气工程师协会，区域夏威夷空间赠款财团和校园契约等。学院还通过校园契约每年为十个州的学院和大学提供与STEM相关的公民参与培训和技术援助。
