United Tribes NativeTechnicians for the Environment (UT.NT4E)

UT.NT4E是NSF-TCUP发起的一个赠款项目，旨在提供基础环境技术AAS学位课程以及在课程工作中使用嵌入式技术和研究的短期认证课程。联合部落技术学院利用现有地区合作伙伴关系和赠款计划的支持，提供具有凝聚力的学术STEM课程和密集的学生支持，同时加强联合部落技术学院S STEM教师的知识和教学实践。该项目解决了环境、土地、自然资源和能源开发领域的住宅专业知识需求，并满足了美国原住民在数学、科学和技术技能发展方面的国家目标。UT.NT4E建议通过为STEM学生提供密集的学生支持来教育全人。文化学实践将包括最先进的数学、科学和技术指导以及成人学习概念。密集和长期的员工发展确保UTTC STEM教师能够接触到成人学习原则、教学知识和教学实践以及高级学位/认证支持。UT.NT4E教师将与STEM学生和普通教育教师携手合作，在UTTC提供增强的STEM课程。同伴教学和辅导是这个项目的基础。对研究的重视为学生提供了充分的机会积极研究对他们来说重要的问题。工作人员发展和学生支持系统确保UT.NT4E学生成功完成环境技术或其他STEM学位，进入四年制学位课程或进入高素质的劳动力大军，以执行技术技能。UT.NT4E计划使用基于菲利普？S模型的多维评估计划进行评估，该计划使用从八个类别收集的数据来回答有关该计划总体成就的关键问题和改进策略。这些类别是学生数量、学生满意度、学生学习、美国印第安人当代和传统价值观、体验式学习/实习、对印第安人国家的影响、投资回报和无形资产。UTTC得到了总部设在北达科他州的五个联邦承认的部落的支持，并在部落学院和大学(TCU)的教育方面享有全国声誉。UT.NT4E利用一个由TCU管理人员、教师、地区环境专家和社区成员组成的顾问委员会来协助决策过程。广泛影响：该项目将增加

United Tribes Native Technicians for the Environment (UT.NT4E) is an NSF-TCUP Initiation grant project that proposes to offer a foundation Environmental Technology AAS degree program along with short-term certification programs using embedded technology and research within coursework. United Tribes Technical College (UTTC) leverages the support of existing regional partnerships and grant programs to provide a cohesive academic STEM program with intensive student support while strengthening UTTC?s STEM faculty knowledge and teaching practices. The project addresses residential expertise needs in the areas of environment, land, natural resources and energy development along with addressing national goals for math, science, and technology skills development among Native American people.UT.NT4E proposes to educate the whole person employing intensive student support for STEM students.Andragogical practices will encompass state-of-the-art math, science, and technology instruction and adult learning concepts. Intensive and long-term staff development assures UTTC STEM faculty has access to adult learning principles, content knowledge and teaching practices as well as advanced degree/certification support. UT.NT4E faculty will work hand in hand with STEM students and general education instructors to provide enhanced STEM courses at UTTC. Peer teaching and mentoring are fundamental to this project. Emphasis on research affords the students ample opportunity to actively study issues important to them. The staff development and student support system ensures that UT.NT4E students successfully complete the Environmental Technology or other STEM degrees to either matriculate into a four-year degree programs or to enter the workforce highly-qualified to perform technician skills.The UT.NT4E program is evaluated using a multi-dimensional evaluation plan Based on the Phillip?s Model which uses data collected from eight categories to answer key questions regarding the overall accomplishments of the program and suggested strategies for improvements. The categories are student count, student satisfaction, student learning, American Indian Contemporary and Traditional values, experiential learning/internships, Impact on Indian Country, Return on Investment and Intangibles.UTTC is supported by five federally-recognized Tribes based in North Dakota and has a national reputation for excellence in education by Tribal colleges and universities (TCUs). UT.NT4E utilizes an advisory board composed of TCU administrators, faculty, regional environmental experts, and community members to assist in decision-making processes.Broad Impacts: This project will increase the numbe
