The Role of Geosciences in Transforming Education and Career Pathways to Help Broaden Participation in STEM

第1部分举办其第91届年会，主题为“为新的全球经济培养下一代技术领导者”，美国国家技术协会(NTA)继续为美国在科学、技术、工程和数学事务和利益方面的平等机会、准入、多样性、包容性和领导力发声。NTA与历史上的黑人学院和大学(HBCU)地球科学工作组合作，表达了其对历史上黑人学院和大学未开发资源的触角和洞察力。研讨会计划有50人参加，其中包括NSF的代表以及学术界、联邦和社区利益攸关方的广泛领域。讲习班的更广泛影响是促进协作、跨学科、文化相关性和代际视角，帮助建立和维持变革性的STEM教育和职业道路。它还将鼓励更多地致力于在教师、本科生和研究生层面创造机会，开展以大学/社区为基础的战略性举措。最后，讲习班将加强HBCU的网络能力，这将直接和间接促进STEM/地球科学的包容性和多样性。第2部分拟议的讲习班旨在继续就NTA-HBCU地球科学合作战略行动计划进行对话。这项由以社区为基础的NTA和以校园为基础的HBCU地球科学工作组(HBCU GWG)之间的合作是一项尚未开发的资源，可通过地方、区域和国家努力扩大对STEM的参与。该研讨会将提供一个论坛，召集HBCU地球科学和其他STEM利益攸关方，在最近的2018年汉普顿大学NTA-HBCU地球科学研讨会和建议的基础上再接再厉；促进合作努力，建立有助于扩大参与的地球科学议程；正式确定HBCU地球科学行动计划，并指定执行时间表。2019年HBCU地球科学研讨会的目标是：-分享NSF Geopath补助金奖的进展和最新情况：扩大HBCU地球科学教育的途径--Sue Ebank，PI；-分享NSF综合子奖的研究成果：整合地球科学模块对HBCU学生的影响-Richard Schulterandt Gragg，PI；-确定、探索和讨论NTA和HBCU-GWG在解决和实施NSF？F 10个大想法方面的协作作用；以及-继续NTA-HBCU地球科学合作战略行动计划的对话。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Part 1Hosting its 91st Annual Conference with a theme "Preparing the Next Generation of Technical Leaders for the New Global Economy", the The National Technical Association (NTA)continues to be the voice for equal opportunity, access, diversity, inclusion and leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics matters and interests in the U.S. NTA partnering with the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Geosciences Working Group is an expression of its reach and insight to the untapped resources of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The workshop plans for 50 participants, including representatives of NSF and a broad cross-section of academic, federal and community stakeholders. The Broader impact of the workshop is to promote collaborative, interdisciplinary, culturally relevant and intergenerational perspectives that help build and sustain transformative STEM education and career pathways. It will also encourage a greater commitment to building opportunities for strategic university/community-based initiatives at the faculty, undergraduate and graduate levels. Finally, the workshop will strengthen HBCU networking capacity that will directly and indirectly promote inclusion and diversity across STEM/Geosciences.Part 2The proposed workshop seeks to continue the conversation on the NTA-HBCU Geosciences collaborative strategic action plan. This collaboration, between the community-based NTA and the campus-based HBCU Geoscience Working Group (HBCU GWG), is an untapped resource for broadening participation in STEM through a local, regional and national effort. This workshop will provide a forum to convene HBCU Geosciences and other STEM stakeholders to build on the recent 2018 Hampton University NTA-HBCU geosciences workshop and recommendations; facilitate collaborative efforts and establish a geoscience agenda that contributes to broadening participation; and formalize the HBCU Geosciences Action Plan and assign responsibilities with a timeline for execution.The objectives of the 2019 HBCU Geosciences workshop are to:- Share the progress and update on NSF Geopaths Grant Award: Expanding HBCU Pathways for Geoscience Education - Sue Ebanks, PI;- Share the research findings of the NSF InTeGrate Subaward: Impacts of InTeGrate Geoscience Modules on HBCU students - Richard Schulterbrandt Gragg, PI;- Identify, explore and discuss the collaborative role of NTA and HBCU-GWG in addressing and implementing the NSF?f 10 BIG IDEAS; and- Continue the conversation on the NTA-HBCU Geosciences Collaborative Strategic Action Plan.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
