Aaniinen-Nakoda Environmental Excellence Center

这个I3项目的主要目标是：(1)加强FBC的教育效果？通过STEM研究和教育的协同整合，建立STEM学位课程和相关组成项目；(2)扩大美国印第安人对STEM研究和教育的参与。为了实现这些目标，该项目将把目前正在进行的五个环境研究和教育项目整合到Aaniinen-Nakoda环境卓越中心（ANEEC）的共同管理和规划伞下。亚洲经济共同体将通过以下方式促进各组成项目之间的互联互通和协同作用：(1)建立整个机构的智力资本和研究能力；(2)提高各组成部分项目的有效性；(3)为学生提供全面整合的STEM学习体验，将研究和教育融入文化和陆地环境，促进学生参与并促进学生成功。具体而言，ANEEC项目将：(1)发展FBC？通过跨学科的STEM教师发展努力，培养环境研究能力和智力资本；（二）协调环境研究和教育项目的管理，提高其教育效果和效率；(3)在所有环境研究和教育项目中注入Aaniinen和Nakoda文化视角；(4)创建共享框架，为学生提供高质量的暑期研究经验；(5)修改课程设置，在暑期研究经历和学年课程设置之间建立明确的联系。Aaniinen-Nakoda环境卓越中心汇集了TCUP颁发的NSF/EHR奖，以及围绕I-3综合主题的其他工作，即研究与教育的整合，以及扩大参与。

The primary goals of this I3 project are to: (1) strengthen the educational effectiveness of FBC?s STEM degree programs and associated component projects through the synergistic integration of STEM research and education; and (2) broaden participation in STEM research and education among American Indians. To achieve these goals, the project will bring together five currently active environmental research and education projects under the common administrative and programmatic umbrella of the Aaniinen-Nakoda Environmental Excellence Center (ANEEC). The ANEEC will promote connectivity and synergy among component projects in a manner that: (1) builds the intellectual capital and research capacity of the entire institution; (2) increases the effectiveness of each component project; and (3) provides students with a fully integrated STEM learning experience in which research and education are embedded in a cultural and land-based context that fosters student engagement and promotes student success. Specifically, the ANEEC project will: (1) develop FBC?s environmental research capacity and intellectual capital through cross-disciplinary STEM faculty development efforts; (2) coordinate the administration of environmental research and education projects to enhance their educational effectiveness and efficiency; (3) infuse Aaniinen and Nakoda cultural perspectives into all environmental research and education projects; (4) create a shared framework for providing students with high-quality summer research experiences; and (5) modify curriculum to establish clear linkages between summer research experiences and academic year course offerings.Aaniinen-Nakoda Environmental Excellence Center brings together the NSF/EHR award from TCUP, as well as other work, around the I-3 integrative themes of the integration of research and education, and broadening participation.
