United Tribes NativeTechnicians for the Environment (UT.NT4E)

联合部落本地环境技术人员（UT.NT4E）是NSF-TCUP启动资助项目，提议提供基础环境技术AAS学位课程以及在课程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（UTTC）利用现有区域伙伴关系和拨款计划的支持，在加强UTTC的同时，提供一个具有密集学生支持的有凝聚力的学术STEM计划。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，同时解决了美洲原住民数学、科学和技术技能发展的国家目标。NT4E建议为STEM学生提供密集的学生支持，进行全人教育。哲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utttc STEM教师能够获得成人学习原则，内容知识和教学实践以及高级学位/认证支持。UT。NT4E教师将与STEM学生和通识教育教师携手合作，在utc提供增强的STEM课程。同伴教学和指导是这个项目的基础。强调研究为学生提供了充分的机会来积极研究对他们重要的问题。员工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技术人员队伍。UT。NT4E程序的评估采用基于菲利普？该模型使用从八个类别收集的数据来回答有关项目总体成就的关键问题，并提出改进策略。这些类别包括学生人数、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、对印第安国家的影响、投资回报和无形资产。utc由位于北达科他州的五个联邦认可的部落支持，并因部落学院和大学（tcu）的卓越教育而享誉全国。UT。NT4E利用由TCU管理人员、教师、区域环境专家和社区成员组成的咨询委员会来协助决策过程。广泛影响：该项目将增加这一数字

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
