Tribal Colleges and Universities: Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Enhancement

项目简介Fort Peck Community College（FPCC）是一所部落学院，位于蒙大拿州东北部的FortPeck Reservation。FPCC为阿西尼博因和苏族部落的10，000名成员和地区居民提供学术和职业课程以及社区服务。在1999-2000年，FPCC平均招生233名学生，大约85%的学生是美国土著-几乎所有的注册苏族和阿西尼博因部落的成员。2000年6月，有30名毕业生获得副学士学位。其中，只有4所（13%）是科学、数学、工程和技术学科。到2003年秋季，所有入学的学生将被建议根据评估分数和以前的成绩报名参加适当级别的SMET课程。到2004年秋季，教员将把技术纳入6门SMET入门课程。到2005年秋季，教员将把技术融入6门高级中小型企业培训课程。教员发展：目标和预期成果2 -1。每年，两名小型和微型企业培训教员将参加一个区域或一个国家会议，专门侧重于根据国家标准将技术纳入课程。到2005年春季，所有八名SMET教员将在另一个学术机构或国家实验室完成一个学期的学术交流或休假。到2003年秋季，每位中小企业培训教师都将根据国家标准设计和实施一门基于网络的课程。到2003年秋季，参加SMET课程的学生人数将增加10%。到2004年秋季，将选出10名学生在当地实习。到2005年春季，将有5名学生毕业，主修中小型企业和/或转入四年制院校。到2006年春季，将有五名学生进入小型和微型企业培训职业。这个项目将影响到塞维尔的大学和保留地。实施一个适当的评估系统和学生在开始SMET课程时的安置将使完成率提高到70%。计算机实验室和无线通信的增加将增加FPCC提供额外的SMET课程和研究的能力，并将高级SMET课程的入学人数增加10%。作为学生实习的结果，SMET主修数学、科学和技术职业的百分比预计将增加10%。被分配到实习的学生将意识到在数学，科学和计算机技术，特别是在该地区的就业机会。网络课程的增加，特别是高级课程的增加，将进一步增加入学人数和课程完成率。咨询委员会的参与将增加潜在的培训和服务机会。FPCC将与部落企业和私营公司建立伙伴关系，特别是在计算机应用方面的培训和教育。

Project SummaryFort Peck Community College (FPCC), a tribal college, is located on the FortPeck Reservation in northeastern Montana. FPCC provides academic and vocationalprograms and community service to the 10,000 members of the Assiniboine and Siouxtribes and area residents. In 1999-2000, FPCC had an average enrollment of 233 students.Approximately 85% of the students are Native American - nearly all are enrolledmembers of the Sioux and Assiniboine Tribes. In June 2000, there were 30 graduateswith Associate Degrees. Of these, only 4 (13%) were in science, mathematics,engineering and technology (SMET) disciplines.Curriculum Enhancement: Objectives and Anticipated Outcomes1-1. By Fall 2003, all entering students will be advised to enroll in appropriate levelsof SMET courses based on assessment scores and previous achievement.1-2. By Fall 2004, instructors will have integrated technology into 6 introductorySMET courses.1-3. By Fall 2005, instructors will have integrated technology into 6 advanced SMETcourses.Faculty Development: Objectives and Anticipated Outcomes2-1. Each year, two SMET instructors will attend one regional or one nationalconference specifically focused on integrating technology into courses accordingto national standards.2-2. By Spring 2005, all eight SMET instructors will have completed one semester offaculty exchange or sabbatical at another academic institution or nationallaboratory.2-3. By Fall 2003, each SMET instructor will have designed and implemented a Web-based course based on national standards.Undergraduate Training: Objectives and Anticipated Outcomes3-1. By Fall 2003, student enrollment in SMET courses will increase by 10%.3-2. By Fall 2004, ten students will be selected for internship placement in local sites.3-3. By Spring 2005, five students will graduate with SMET majors and/or transfersto four-year institutions.3-4. By Spring 2006, five students will enter SMET careers.Expected Impact. This project will impact the college and reservation in severalways. Implementation of an appropriate system of assessment and student placement inbeginning SMET classes will increase the completion rate to 70%. The addition of thecomputer laboratories and wireless communication will increase the FPCC capacity tooffer additional SMET classes and research and increase enrollment in advanced SMETclasses by 10%. As a result of the student internships, the percent of SMET majorsentering math, science and technology careers is expected to increase by 10%. Thestudents assigned to internships will become aware of career opportunities in math,science and computer technology especially in the region. The addition of the Web-basedcourses, especially advanced courses, will further increase enrollment and coursecompletions. Involvement of the Advisory Committee will increase potential training andservice opportunities. FPCC will enter into partnerships with tribal businesses and privatecompanies for training and education especially in computer applications.
