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.Kapiolani Community College (KCC), as the lead institution of a University of Hawaii (UH) System collaboration that includes Honolulu Community College (HCC), Leeward Community College (LCC), Maui College (MC), and Windward Community College (WCC) and University of Hawaii Manoa (UHM), proposes to build on the foundation of their PEEC award which created pre-engineering tracks and transfer agreements between the colleges and UHM as well as instituted student support activities. The Hawaii PEEC II goals are: 1) to build capacity at Native Hawaiian-serving institutions to prepare students for engineering degree completion, seamless transfer to a four-year institution, and entry into the workforce; and 2) to implement, investigate, and evaluate the effect of discipline-specific undergraduate research on student success. Along with expanding the sense of place for Native Hawaiian students on each campus through facilities and resources that support the community, the project will contribute to a better understanding of retention and student success in formal pre-engineering programs especially for Native Hawaiian students. The project will investigate the effect of undergraduate research on student success and the utility of vertically-integrated projects for university and community college students around the themes of robotics, space & astronomy, maker, and sustainability. PEEC II will provide evidenced-based practices to help resolve a major national problem for community colleges attempting to develop effective engineering transfer pathways to universities for students underrepresented in STEM.

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。卡皮奥拉尼社区学院（KCC），作为夏威夷大学（UH）系统合作的牵头机构，包括檀香山社区学院（HCC），背风社区学院（LCC），毛伊岛学院（MC），迎风社区学院（WCC）和夏威夷马诺阿大学（UHM），建议建立在他们的PEEC奖的基础上，该奖项创建了学院和UHM之间的工程前跟踪和转移协议，以及制定了学生支持活动。 夏威夷PEEC II的目标是：1）在夏威夷本土服务机构建设能力，为学生完成工程学位做好准备，无缝转移到四年制院校，并进入劳动力市场; 2）实施，调查和评估特定学科的本科研究对学生成功的影响。沿着的地方感为夏威夷原住民学生在每个校园通过支持社区的设施和资源，该项目将有助于更好地了解保留和学生的成功，特别是在正式的预工程计划为夏威夷原住民学生。该项目将调查本科生研究对学生成功的影响，以及围绕机器人技术，空间天文学，制造商和可持续性主题的大学和社区学院学生垂直整合项目的实用性。PEEC II将提供基于证据的实践，以帮助解决社区学院试图为STEM中代表性不足的学生开发有效的工程转移途径的主要国家问题。
