A goal of the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) is to increase the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instructional and research capacities of specific institutions of higher education that serve the Nation's indigenous students. The PEEC-II track provides support for studies or educational research conducted by institutions that have had earlier Pre-Engineering Education Collaborative (PEEC) awards. The intent of PEEC-II is to capture, analyze, and disseminate the impact of these awards on the participating institutions, faculty, or students, and their communities. PEEC and PEEC-II are partnerships between TCUP and the Directorate for Engineering.This collaboration among TCUP colleges Sitting Bull College (SBC), Cankdeska Cikana Community College (CCCC), Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College (NHSC), and Turtle Mountain Community College (TMCC), and North Dakota State University (NDSU), is the culmination of more than 15 years of active engagement in STEM education on North Dakota reservations. It builds on the foundation of their PEEC award which created formal partnerships, implemented student support structures at NDSU, and developed means to support pre-engineering coursework at remote tribal college locations through distance learning and support of tribal college faculty. The goals of this project are to 1) investigate and document the relationship between a new hybrid distance learning model applied to engineering education and its impact on recruitment, persistence and graduation of American Indian students, and 2) investigate and document the critical elements of the learning and support environments that can improve student success within engineering majors.Along with creating sustainable and supportive pathways to engineering degrees for American Indian students, the broader impact of this project will come from the value of the distance learning model and its assessment, disseminated broadly, which can support STEM learning at the participating institutions as well as at other institution partnerships that are trying to improve pathways between rural or isolated schools and four-year institutions.

部落学院和大学方案的一个目标是提高为全国土著学生服务的特定高等教育机构的科学、技术、工程和数学教学和研究能力。PEEC-II轨道提供研究或教育研究的机构进行了较早的工程前教育协作（PEEC）奖项的支持。 PEEC-II的目的是捕捉，分析和传播这些奖项对参与机构，教师或学生及其社区的影响。PEEC和PEEC-II是TCUP和工程局之间的合作伙伴关系。TCUP学院Sitting Bull College（SBC），Cankdeska Cikana Community College（CCCC），Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College（NHSC），Turtle Mountain Community College（TMCC）和北达科他州州立大学（NDSU）之间的合作是北达科他州保留地积极参与STEM教育超过15年的高潮。它建立在他们的PEEC奖的基础上，建立了正式的合作伙伴关系，在NDSU实施了学生支持结构，并通过远程学习和部落学院教师的支持，开发了支持偏远部落学院位置的工程预科课程的方法。 本项目的目标是：1）调查和记录应用于工程教育的新的混合远程学习模式及其对美国印第安学生的招聘，坚持和毕业的影响之间的关系，和2）调查和记录学习和支持环境的关键要素，可以提高学生在工程专业的成功。沿着创造可持续和支持性的途径，除了为美洲印第安学生提供工程学位外，该项目更广泛的影响将来自远程学习模式的价值及其广泛传播的评估，这可以支持参与机构以及试图改善农村或偏远学校与四年制机构之间途径的其他机构伙伴关系的STEM学习。
