This NSF INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilot, "Expanding Diversity in Energy and Environmental Sustainability (EDEES)", will develop a network of institutions in the United States mid-Atlantic region to recruit, train, and prepare a significant number of underrepresented, underserved, and underprivileged members of the American society in the areas of alternative energy generation and environmental sustainability. Researchers from Delaware State University (DSU) will lead the effort in collaboration with scientists and educators from the University of Delaware, Delaware Technical Community College, University of Maryland, and Stony Brook University. The program comprises a strong educational component in different aspects of green energy generation and environmental sciences including the development of a baccalaureate degree in Green Energy Engineering and the further growth of the recently established Renewable Energy Education Center at our University. The program comprises an active involvement of students from local K-12 institutions, including Delaware State University Early College High School. The character of the University as a Historically Black College (HBCU) and the relatively high minority population of the region will facilitate the completion of the goal to serve minority students. The program will also involve the local community and the private sector by promoting the idea of a green City of Dover, Delaware, in the years to come.The goal of EDEES-INCLUDES pilot comprises the enrollment of at least twenty underrepresented minority students in majors related to green energy and environmental sustainability. It also entails the establishment of a baccalaureate degree in Green Energy Engineering at DSU. The program is expected to strengthen the pathway from two-year energy-related associate degree programs to four-year degrees by ensuring at least five students/year transfer to DSU in energy-related programs. The pilot is also expected to increase the number of high school graduates from underrepresented groups who choose to attend college in STEM majors. Based on previous experience and existing collaborations, the partner institutions expect to grow as an integrated research-educational network where students will be able to obtain expertise in the competitive field of green energy. The pilot program comprises a deep integration of education and research currently undergoing in the involved institutions. In collaboration with its partner institutions, DSU plans to consistently and systematically involve students from the K-12 system to nurture the future recruitment efforts of the network. A career in Green Energy Engineering is using and expanding up existing infrastructure and collaborations. The program will involve the local community through events, workshops and open discussions on energy related fields using social networks and other internet technology in order to promote energy literacy.

国家科学基金会包括设计和开发启动试点项目，“扩大能源和环境可持续性的多样性"，将在美国大西洋中部地区建立一个机构网络，在替代能源生产和环境可持续性领域招募、培训和培养美国社会中代表性不足、服务不足和贫困的大量成员。来自特拉华州州立大学（DSU）的研究人员将与来自特拉华州大学、特拉华州技术社区学院、马里兰州大学和斯托尼布鲁克大学的科学家和教育工作者合作领导这项工作。该计划包括绿色能源发电和环境科学的不同方面的强大教育组成部分，包括绿色能源工程学士学位的发展和最近成立的可再生能源教育中心在我们大学的进一步发展。该计划包括来自当地K-12机构的学生的积极参与，包括特拉华州州立大学早期学院高中。该大学作为一所历史黑人学院（HBCU）的特点以及该地区相对较多的少数族裔人口将有助于完成为少数族裔学生服务的目标。该计划还将通过促进特拉华州多佛市的绿色城市的理念，在未来几年内，让当地社区和私营部门参与进来。EDEES-INCLUDES试点项目的目标包括至少招收20名代表性不足的少数民族学生，学习与绿色能源和环境可持续性相关的专业。它还需要在DSU设立绿色能源工程学士学位。该计划预计将加强从两年制能源相关的副学士学位课程到四年制学位的途径，确保每年至少有五名学生转入能源相关课程的DSU。预计该试点还将增加来自代表性不足群体的高中毕业生选择上大学STEM专业的人数。根据以往的经验和现有的合作，合作机构希望成长为一个综合的研究教育网络，学生将能够获得专业知识的竞争领域的绿色能源。该试点计划包括教育和研究的深度整合，目前正在参与机构。DSU计划与合作机构合作，持续、系统地让K-12系统的学生参与进来，以促进该网络未来的招聘工作。绿色能源工程的职业生涯是利用和扩大现有的基础设施和合作。该计划将利用社交网络和其他互联网技术，通过能源相关领域的活动、研讨会和公开讨论，让当地社区参与进来，以促进能源扫盲。
