Distance Education to Startup Full Engineering Programs at Other Schools and Establish Pre-Engineering Programs at Two-Year Colleges

工程-其他(59)该项目的目标是利用远程教育在四年制大学建立(1)化学、土木、电气和机械工程方面的认可学士课程，(2)在两年制大学建立这四个学科的工程预科课程。该项目建立在北达科他大学(UND)20年来提供本科工程远程教育的经验基础上，该本科工程远程教育在其所有四个学科中都获得了教唆认证。该项目扩大了联合国开发计划署与其他四年和两年制机构之间的现有关系，共同努力增加进入劳动力队伍的合格工程师人数。具体地说，该项目与北达科他州州立理工学院和本尼迪克廷学院合作，以及贝特霍德堡社区学院、海龟山社区学院和坎德斯卡奇卡纳社区学院等部落学院，以激发美洲原住民学生对STEM领域的兴趣。该项目实施和评估了利用远程工程教育作为在两年制院校建立工程预科课程和加强四年制大学全面工程课程的一种手段。

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.
