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.During PEEC-I, Oglala Lakota College (OLC) in conjunction with collaborators the College of Engineering at the South Dakota State University (SDSU) and the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSMT), referred to as OLC/SDSU/SDSMT PEEC (OSSPEEC), established infrastructure and capacity for students entering OLC to graduate from SDSU or SDSMT with engineering degrees. In PEEC-II, they will investigate the impact of the OSSPEEC model, which emphasizes the importance of experiential learning, incorporation of the Lakota world view and cultural perspective in engineering learning and decision making, and development of self-confidence in solving engineering problems.The intellectual merit of this project lies in understanding the value of the OSSPEEC model and what factors lead to American Indian success in pre-engineering and engineering programs. The integrated research and experiential learning aspects of the project have the potential to generate knowledge related to water resources and geological engineering on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. The broader impacts of this project will be 1) increased diversity in a globally engaged engineering workforce, 2) expanded tribal ability to address issues related to land use, drinking water, and sustainable housing and food production, and 3) a model of culturally centered classroom activities and relevant co-curricular research, project and maker activities.

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和工程局之间的伙伴关系。在PEEC-I期间，Oglala Lakota学院（OLC）与合作者南达科他州州立大学（SDSU）工程学院和南达科他州矿业与技术学院（SDSMT）一起，称为OLC/SDSU/SDSMT PEEC（OSSPEC），为进入OLC的学生建立基础设施和能力，从SDSU或SDSMT毕业并获得工程学位。 在PEEC-II中，他们将调查OSSPEC模型的影响，该模型强调体验式学习的重要性，将拉科塔世界观和文化视角纳入工程学习和决策，本项目的智力价值在于理解OSSPEC模型的价值，以及什么因素导致美国印第安人在前工程和工程项目。 该项目的综合研究和经验学习方面有可能产生与南达科他州松岭保护区水资源和地质工程相关的知识。 该项目的更广泛的影响将是：1）增加全球参与工程劳动力的多样性，2）扩大部落解决土地使用，饮用水，可持续住房和粮食生产相关问题的能力，以及3）以文化为中心的课堂活动和相关的课外研究，项目和制造商活动的模式。
