Tribal College STEM Workshop at Salish Kootenai College

EPS 071956这份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三个EPSCoR州的大学和部落学院/阿拉斯加土著服务机构(TCU/ANSI)聚集在一起，重点制定基础科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)方面的教学和研究合作计划。这个工作坊的强项将是以TCU/ANSI为重点的美洲原住民服务机构的参与者。合作工作将由萨利什·库特奈学院(SKC)教员领导，其他参与者包括奥格拉拉·拉科塔学院(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。研讨会非常符合EPSCoR研讨会征集的参数；但将提出一个特殊条件，以确保代表不足的群体参与。这些是：1.讲习班将讨论需要协作才能取得最佳成功的多个司法管辖区的努力。来自非EPSCoR机构的发言者可以通过为他们的参与提供后勤支持来参与研讨会，但资金不能流向非EPSCoR机构。讲习班将讨论与EPSCoR的目标/目的和国家科学基金会的使命相关的主要区域主题。讲习班的目标将是发展高质量的合作，这些合作能够竞争多学科/跨学科的观点，目前在科学和工程领域的主要倡议中是常见的。讲习班将由代表人数不足的群体适当代表。

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.
