FIRE UP (Faculty Integration, Research, and Engagement in Urban Polynesia)

卡皮奥拉尼社区学院，夏威夷大学，认识到我们的持续成功是建立一个正式的和制度化的队伍？STEM企业？和开发更多的参与STEM教师谁可以提供引人注目的课程，以及指导学生在本科研究，学院建议创建组织，行政和计划卓越和基础设施需要支持这样的企业。因此，我们的长期目标是：1）制度化，改善和维持正式的STEM企业; 2）增加从事生产更多夏威夷土著和其他STEM学位完成者的STEM教师数量。这个I3项目将在一个正式的，持续的，不断改进的STEM项目中整合教师创新，该项目与学院的战略和长期方向密切相关。

Kapiolani Community College, University of Hawaii, recognizing that our continued success is contingent upon building a formal and institutionalized ?STEM enterprise? and developing more engaged STEM faculty who can offer compelling courses as well as mentor students in undergraduate research, the College proposes to create the organizational, administrative and programmatic excellence and infrastructure needed to support such an enterprise. Our long-term goals, therefore, are to: 1) institutionalize, improve and sustain a formal STEM enterprise; and 2) increase the number of STEM faculty engaged in producing more Native Hawaiian and other STEM degree completers. This I3 project will integrate faculty innovation within a formal, sustained, always improving STEM Program tied closely to the strategic and long range directions of the College.
