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.

部落学院和大学计划（TCUP）的一个目标是提高为美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（STEM）教学和研究能力。PEEC- ii课程为早期获得工程前教育合作（PEEC）奖项的机构进行的研究或教育研究提供支持。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和工程理事会之间的伙伴关系。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）、风向社区学院（WCC）和夏威夷大学马诺阿分校（UHM）。KCC提议在他们的PEEC奖的基础上，建立学院和UHM之间的预工程课程和转移协议，以及制定的学生支持活动。夏威夷PEEC II的目标是：1)在夏威夷原住民服务机构中建立能力，帮助学生完成工程学位，无缝转到四年制大学，并进入劳动力市场；2)实施、调查和评估本科学科研究对学生成功的影响。除了通过支持社区的设施和资源扩大每个校园中夏威夷原住民学生的地方感外，该项目还将有助于更好地了解正式工程预科课程的保留和学生的成功，特别是对夏威夷原住民学生。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、太空与天文学、创客和可持续发展等主题为大学和社区大学生提供的垂直整合项目的效用。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学途径到大学的主要国家问题。
