Engineering-Other (59)The goals of this project are to use distance education to establish (1) accredited bachelor's programs in chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering at four-year colleges and (2) pre-engineering programs in these four disciplines at two-year colleges. The project builds on the University of North Dakota's (UND) twenty years of experience providing undergraduate engineering distance education that is ABET-accredited in all four of its disciplines. The project expands existing relationships between UND and other four- and two-year institutions in a collaborative effort to increase the number of qualified engineers that enter the workforce. Specifically, the project partners with North Dakota State College of Science and Benedictine College, in addition to the tribal colleges of Fort Berthold Community College, Turtle Mountain Community College, and Cankdeska Cikana Community College in order to stimulate interest in STEM fields among Native American students. The project implements and evaluates the use of distance engineering education as a means to establish pre-engineering programs at two-year institutions and to enhance full engineering programs at four-year colleges.

工程-其他（59）该项目的目标是利用远程教育建立（1）认可的学士学位课程在化学，土木，电气和机械工程在四年制大学和（2）工程预科课程在这四个学科在两年制大学。该项目建立在北达科他州的大学（UND）二十年的经验，提供本科工程远程教育，是ABET认证的所有四个学科。该项目扩大了UND与其他四年制和两年制机构之间的现有关系，共同努力增加进入劳动力市场的合格工程师数量。具体而言，该项目与北达科他州州立科学学院和本笃会学院合作，此外还有贝特霍尔德堡社区学院、海龟山社区学院和坎克德斯卡奇卡纳社区学院等部落学院，以激发美国原住民学生对STEM领域的兴趣。该项目实施和评估远程工程教育的使用，作为在两年制院校建立工程预科课程和加强四年制学院全面工程课程的一种手段。
