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 nations indigenous students. Expanding the STEM curricular offerings at these institutions expands the opportunities of their students to pursue challenging rewarding careers in STEM-related fields, provides for research studies in areas that may be culturally significant, and encourages a community and generational appreciation for science and mathematics education. Sustainability of capacity gains is significantly enhanced by retaining the talent of credentialed STEM faculty. This project aligns directly with that goal.Fort Peck Community College (FPCC) is expanding its capacity in geography and environmental sciences classes by adding a GIS Technology Certificate in Applied Science. The certificate will prepare FPCC students for relevant employment, thereby addressing workforce needs. The certificate is centered on an experiential-based learning environment as the underlying approach to increase the participation of underrepresented Native college students in the STEM fields of study and eventually STEM careers. The project combines existing GIS and environmental science course work with hands-on technology in experiential-based learning processes to heighten the interest and participation of FPCC students in STEM-related fields. Further, giving students tools that can be used to protect, preserve, and monitor the cultural resources of the tribes creates an environment of usefulness. Moreover, providing opportunities in STEM studies for students who are tribal members or descendants can strengthen tribal governance, oversight, and economic well-being.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.

部落学院和大学方案的一个目标是提高为民族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。扩大这些机构的STEM课程设置扩大了学生在STEM相关领域追求具有挑战性的职业生涯的机会，为可能具有文化意义的领域提供了研究，并鼓励社区和一代人对科学和数学教育的欣赏。通过保留有资格的STEM教师的人才，能力增益的可持续性得到了显着增强。该项目直接与这一目标相一致。Fort Peck Community College（FPCC）正在通过增加应用科学GIS技术证书来扩大其地理和环境科学课程的能力。该证书将为FPCC学生准备相关就业，从而满足劳动力需求。该证书以基于经验的学习环境为中心，作为增加代表性不足的本地大学生参与STEM研究领域和最终STEM职业的基本方法。该项目将现有的GIS和环境科学课程与基于体验的学习过程中的实践技术相结合，以提高FPCC学生对STEM相关领域的兴趣和参与。此外，为学生提供可用于保护，保存和监测部落文化资源的工具，创造了一个有用的环境。此外，为部落成员或后代学生提供STEM研究机会可以加强部落治理，监督和经济福祉。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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。
