SYSTEMCurriculum Development

Develop, deliver, and integrate undergraduate research experiences into the pre-engineering curriculum and course offerings at all PEEC campuses

Strategies:• Align CC engineering courses to UH Mānoa to establish a clear transfer

pathway

Institutionalized outcomes: • Added courses or changes to curriculum:

• UHMC added EE 211 (Spring 2018) and EE 160 (Spring 2017)• UHMC added ASNS Engineering Concentration – Spring 2018

• Aligned math courses (Fall 2018):

Aligned Courses Math Level

MATH 241 Calculus I (replaced Math 205)

MATH 242 Calculus II (replaced MATH 206)

MATH 243 Calculus III (replaced MATH 231)

MATH 244 Calculus IV (replaced MATH 232)


SYSTEMCurriculum Development

Develop, deliver, and integrate undergraduate research experiences into the pre-engineering curriculum and course offerings at all PEEC campuses

Strategies:• Institutionalize URE courses in all CCs and align them with UH Mānoa COE• Offer these courses during SB and continue to offer them in regular semester to allow

students to work on longitudinal VIP projects if adequate.

Institutionalized outcomes: • URE courses are now offered in every PEEC II CC as SCI 295 (STEM Research

Experience)

Campus URE Course

KapCC SCI 295EN and SCI 295VI (Fall 2018)

HonCC SCI 295V (Fall 2017)

Curriculum DevelopmentDevelop, deliver, and integrate undergraduate research experiences into the pre-engineering curriculum and course offerings at all PEEC campuses

Strategies:• Align CC engineering courses to UH Mānoa to establish a clear transfer

pathway

Institutionalized outcomes: • CC and UH Mānoa COE drafted a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to

establish pathway to Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP)

credits for ME students)


SYSTEMFaculty Development

Provide high-utility professional development to improve engineering research, project-, and place- based learning

Strategies:• Provide faculty development by supporting the design of new and

innovating URE projects that are aligned with VIP, if possible. • Increase communication and relationship between CC and Mānoa faculty

URE in order to facilitate the students transition.• Seek faculty development for Native Hawaiian education in engineering


SYSTEMFaculty Development

Provide high-utility professional development to improve engineering research, project-, and place- based learning

Results:

• Site visits: Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute

• CC focused education: Hawaiʻi Student Success Institute (HSSI)

• Native Hawaiian/Sustainability Education: 2018-2019 Hoʻāla Hou cohort program

• Recruitment & Retention workshops: National Institute for Women in Trades, Technology, and Science (IWITTS)

• Projects: Seaglide-Teaching and Learning Workshop

• Conferences/Meetings - TCUP Research Symposium, SENCER Grand Challenges Summer Institute on Water

Overall

14 Professional Development Activities

42 Faculty Participated


SYSTEMStudent Engagement

Increase participation of pre-engineering students in undergraduate research and vertically-integrated projects (VIP)

Strategies:Engage students in URE project during SB and continue to engage them in following semesters. Implement VIP model.

Results:• PEEC II students have presented research over 50

times (Summer 2018)• 10 PEEC II students went to national conferences

/competitions• Over 20 (non-duplicated) students presented

nationally; over 40 more presented locally• All CCs were engaged in a URE during the academic

year

Institutionalized outcomes: • CCs and UH Mānoa are streamlining communication

to share VIP info and get students into labs

GOAL 2: Build capacity at Native Hawaiian-serving institutions to prepare students for

STEM degree completion, seamless transfer, and entry into the STEM workforce.


SYSTEMRecruitment, Retention, and Transition

Proliferate best practice recruitment, retention, and transition strategies for NH STEM students

Strategies:Engage CC students in summer bridges to support them through math courses, build a support network during the academic year, and assist with transfer.

Results:• SB Engineering Majors - 94%

• Transfer: 14 students have transferred to UH Mānoa COE as of Fall 2018

• Increased industry and NH cultural connections

Institutionalized outcomes: • KapCC engineering and math

faculty are incorporating growth-mindset and sustainability or community based projects

2018 51/53 SB students are engineering majors

2017 26/29 SB students are engineering majors


SYSTEMSense of Place

Develop sense of place, facilities, and resources on every campus that supports Native Hawaiian and STEM academic community.

Strategies:• Provide students a place/center where they

can find academic and moral support

Institutionalized outcomes: • KapCC- STEM Center • HonCC – STEM Center (Spring 2019)• LeeCC – Hālau ʻIke O Puʻuloa• WinCC – Hale Aʻo & Center for

Aerospace Education• UHMC –• UH Mānoa – NHSEMP lounge

Measures and Outcomes

Annually: 50 undergraduate students complete URE courses throughout the academic year

50 undergraduate students complete Summer Calculus Academy or Mānoa Design Clinic programs

Overall: 20 undergraduate students formally present their results at local, regional or national

Native education or STEM conferences

12 faculty gain professional development experience for PEEC initiatives for project-, place-, and engineering research-based learning

Increase in research and student project course offerings (SCI295, EE295, etc.) at each campus

Plans to Institutionalize Support

• KapCC –– Recruit first-year students: create Engineering 101

& working with counselors to get students involved earlier through orientations. Work w/ NH services on campus.

– Project Logistics: using other grants and other organization to support URE supplies and stipends, work with current community partners such as HSGC and SOEST to keep projects funded. Streamlining project process w/faculty and having additional faculty take on URE.

• HonCC –– Will continue SLP and other aerospace projects

through Hawaiʻi Space Grant Consortium. – Use the STEM center as a gathering place for

students, faculty, and staff to work together in creating various projects as well as providing academic support through STEM faculty office hours and tutors.

Plans to Institutionalize Support• LeeCC –

– Stress the importance of participating in STEM opportunities/organizations such as AISES and SACNAS

– Let students know of other funding opportunities to attend events. – Expand offerings of URE courses, emphasize transferable skills

(such as programming, communicating technical information, teamwork, etc.)

– Increase professional development for faculty in grant writing in order to increase research course capacity and provide more research experience opportunities for students.

• WinCC – Continue current projects through ARLISS, Center for Aerospace Education, HSGC traineeships.

• UHMC – Continue participation of students from different programs (ENGT, NSCI) in the CanSat competition as it encourages interdisciplinary and gives the students a sense of belonging.

• UHM – Continued participation with NHSEMP and VIP
