0332690SchroederThis award is to University of Alaska Anchorage to support the activity described below for 36 months. The proposal was submitted in response to the Partnerships for Innovation Program Solicitation (NSF-03521).PartnersThe partners include University of Alaska Anchorage (Lead Institution), University of Hawaii Manoa, University of Washington, Alaska Technical Center, Halau Ku Mana High School, Kotzebue High School, Mt. Edgecumbe High School, Northwest Arctic Borough School District, Wellpinit High School, White Swan High School, Confederated Bands and Tribes of the Yakama Nation, Hewlett-Packard, NANA/Colt Engineering, NANA/Dowl Engineering, Siemens Building Technologies, and Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium.This project seeks to connect remote regions of Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington to college curriculum in mathematics and science via modern state-of-the-art computer laboratories and distance learning and to maintain a program at the University of Alaska-Anchorage, University of Alaska-Fairbanks, University of Washington, and University of Hawaii to foster and retain the students in science and engineering curricula. The team of educators, Native organizations, engineering firms, contractors and research laboratories is working to provide opportunities for Indigenous Americans to put young people on career paths to leadership in industry and academia. The program is a pipeline for students from rural communities to universities and industry partners ready to hire them upon graduation. The program will engage 325 students in five years. The partners have committed approximately $5 million through 2006 to support the activity. This program can be replicated for other regions and indigenous societies in America.Potential Economic ImpactThe intellectual merit of the activity lies in establishment of state-of-the-art computer laboratories in very remote locations, working with local indigenous high school systems to establish the science and mathematics curriculum to prepare the students for college, training the local teachers to use the computer systems and tutor the students, and collaborating with industrial partners who provide equipment, scholarships and job opportunities for the students when they graduate from college.The program brings computer technology to remote communities, provides high school students with a vision of a career in science and engineering, connects students with professionals in industry and academia, provides industrial partners with a technologically trained workforce, and develops the enabling infrastructure necessary to sustain the effort long term.

0332690Schroeder 该奖项授予阿拉斯加大学安克雷奇分校，用于支持下述活动 36 个月。 该提案是为了响应创新计划征集合作伙伴关系 (NSF-03521) 而提交的。合作伙伴包括阿拉斯加大学安克雷奇分校（牵头机构）、夏威夷大学马诺阿分校、华盛顿大学、阿拉斯加技术中心、Halau Ku Mana 高中、 Kotzebue 高中、Mt. Edgecumbe 高中、西北北极区学区、Wellpinit 高中、White Swan 高中、Confederated Bands and Tribes该项目旨在将阿拉斯加、夏威夷和华盛顿的偏远地区与数学和数学课程联系起来通过现代最先进的计算机实验室和远程学习来学习科学，并维持阿拉斯加大学安克雷奇分校、阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校、华盛顿大学和阿拉斯加大学的项目夏威夷培养和留住科学和工程课程的学生。由教育工作者、原住民组织、工程公司、承包商和研究实验室组成的团队正在努力为美国原住民提供机会，让年轻人走上工业界和学术界领导地位的职业道路。该计划为农村社区的学生提供了一条通往大学和行业合作伙伴的渠道，准备在毕业后雇用他们。该项目将在五年内吸引 325 名学生。合作伙伴承诺到 2006 年提供大约 500 万美元来支持这项活动。该计划可以在美国其他地区和土著社会复制。 潜在的经济影响 该活动的智力价值在于在非常偏远的地区建立最先进的计算机实验室，与当地土著高中系统合作，建立科学和数学课程为学生进入大学做好准备，培训当地教师使用计算机系统并辅导学生，并与工业合作伙伴合作，为学生大学毕业时提供设备、奖学金和工作机会。该计划带来为偏远社区的高中生提供计算机技术以科学和工程职业为愿景，将学生与工业界和学术界的专业人士联系起来，为工业合作伙伴提供经过技术培训的劳动力，并开发长期维持这一努力所需的基础设施。
