Tribal College STEM Workshop at Salish Kootenai College

摘要：本EPS提案请求支持在部落学院举办为期四天的研讨会。这次规划会议的目标是将EPSCoR三个州的大学和部落学院/阿拉斯加土著服务机构（TCU/ANSIs）聚集在一起，重点是制定基础科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）方面的教学和研究合作计划。本次研讨会的优势在于参与者是关注TCU/ANSI的美洲原住民服务机构。这项合作工作将由Salish Kootenai学院（SKC）的教师领导，其他参与者包括Oglala Lakota学院（OLC）、西南印度理工学院（SIPI）、蒙大拿大学（UM）、南达科他州矿业与技术学院（SDSMT）和新墨西哥大学。该工作坊符合EPSCoR工作坊的招标参数；但是，将提出一项特殊条件，以确保代表人数不足的群体参与。这些都是:1。讲习班将讨论需要合作以取得最佳成功的多司法管辖区努力。非方案协调组机构的发言者可以通过后勤支助参加讲习班，但经费不能拨给非方案协调组机构。讲习班将讨论与EPSCoR的目标/宗旨和国家科学基金会的使命有关的主要区域主题。研讨会的目标将是发展高质量的合作，这种合作能够竞争多/跨学科的观点，现在在科学和工程的主要倡议中很常见。讲习班将由代表性不足的群体适当派代表出席。

AbstractEPS 071956This EPS proposal request support to conduct four day workshop in a tribal college setting. The objective of this planning meeting will be to bring together universities in three EPSCoR states and Tribal Colleges/Alaska Native serving Institutions (TCU/ANSIs), with a focus on developing plans for teaching and research collaborations in the basic sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The strength of this workshop will be the participants that are Native American serving institutions with a TCU/ANSI focus. The collaborative effort will be led by Salish Kootenai College (SKC) faculty with other participants which include Oglala Lakota College (OLC), Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute (SIPI), University of Montana (UM), South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT), and University of New Mexico.The workshop fits the parameters of the EPSCoR Workshop solicitation well; however, a special condition will be made to ensure participation by underrepresented groups. These are:1. Workshops will address multi-jurisdictional efforts that need collaboration for optimum success. Speakers from non-EPSCoR institutions can be involve in the workshop through logistical support for their participation, but funding cannot go to non-EPSCoR institutions.2. Workshops will address major regional themes of relevance to EPSCoR's goals/objectives and NSF's mission.3. The goal of the workshop will be the development of high quality collaborations that are capable of competing for multi/interdisciplinary perspectives now common to major initiatives in science and engineering.4. Workshop will have appropriate representation by underrepresented groups.
