PI/PD PEEC Project Workshop

2010年9月，NSF- tcup和NSF工程理事会向四所领导机构颁发了PEEC奖。这些领先学院各自与其他学院或大学建立了合作伙伴关系。共有16个机构合作获得PEEC奖。PEEC项目通过与TCUP学生可以转学的工程大学学院建立合作伙伴关系，使部落学院有可能在其机构中开发和实施工程预科或工程学位。为期两天的研讨会将在明尼阿波利斯举行，重点讨论如何在工程预科和工程专业成功招募和留住学生。在研讨会期间，参与者将讨论问题并参加正式会议，在此期间，他们将分享关于部落学院预工程和工程未来的经验和想法。一个主要的重点将是提高部落学院的入学成功率和学位课程的持续发展。NSF-TCUP和工程局官员将参加，专家顾问也将参加。其中一个成果将是出版研讨会论文集，其中包括对项目发展的建议。开发有效的工程学位课程、适当的课程、教学方法以及必要的支持机制，可以产生可供其他学院和大学采用的模式，以更好地为所有代表性不足的群体服务。该研讨会将通过分享PEEC项目如何为工程教育的全球知识体系做出贡献，增加关于扩大参与的国家讨论。

In September 2010, NSF-TCUP and the NSF Directorate for Engineering made PEEC awards to four Lead institutions. These Lead colleges each formed collaborative partnerships with additional colleges or universities. A total of sixteen (16) institutions have partnered to receive PEEC awards. The PEEC program is making it possible for tribal colleges to develop and implement pre-engineering or engineering degrees at their institutions by forming collaborative partnerships with university-colleges of engineering to which TCUP students may transfer.A two day workshop, located in Minneapolis, will focus on the best practices for successfully recruiting and retaining students in pre-engineering and engineering. During the workshop participants will discuss issues and participate in formal sessions during which they will share experiences and ideas about the future of pre-engineering and engineering at tribal colleges. A primary focus will be to improve matriculation success rates and the continued development of degree programs at the tribal colleges. NSF-TCUP and Directorate for Engineering officials will participate, as will expert consultants. One outcome will be a publication of the workshop proceedings to include recommendations for program growth.The development of effective engineering degree tracks, appropriate curriculums, methods of instructional delivery, along with the necessary support mechanisms can produce models that can be adapted by other colleges and universities to better serve all underrepresented groups. The workshop will add to the national discussion about broadening participation by sharing how PEEC projects contribute to the global body of knowledge specific to engineering education.
