Tiospaye In Engineering

Tiospaye计划通过提供财务，学术，专业和社会支持结构，增加了从南达科他州矿业与技术学院毕业的美国原住民学生的数量，并获得工程学士学位。Tiospaye是拉科塔语，意思是大家庭;工程大家庭支持美洲原住民学生的学术，专业，文化和社会活动。工程大家庭包括奖学金获得者以及其他学生，工作人员，教师，管理人员，校友/校友，雇主，社区领袖，学生家庭成员，部落成员和我们的部落学院合作伙伴，最值得注意的是奥格拉拉拉科塔学院。通过颁发奖学金提供财政支持，再加上通过一对一和一对一小组与工程大家庭概念的接触促进的学生支持网络，大大增加了美国土著学生取得成功的途径。

The Tiospaye program increases the number of Native American students graduating from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology with bachelor's degrees in engineering through providing financial, academic, professional, and social support structures. Tiospaye is a Lakota word meaning extended family; the extended family of engineering supports Native American students in their academic, professional, cultural, and social activities. The engineering extended family includes scholarship recipients as well as other students, staff, faculty, administrators, alumni/alumnae, employers, community leaders, student family members, tribal members, and our tribal college partners, most notably Oglala Lakota College. The implementation of financial support through awarding scholarships, in combination with the web of student support efforts facilitated through one-on-one and one-on-small group contact with the engineering extended family concept significantly increases the pathways to success for Native American students.
