ISETCSC DAY 2011
North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University
Why ISETCSC Day?
Acknowledge the support from NOAA, and show NOAA and the
Community the Impact of the Funding from NOAA has on Research and
Education at NCA&T
To highlight the accomplishments of the ISETCSC Center
To recognize our outstanding students
To recognize the ISETCSC faculty who made this accomplishment
possible
To initiate the discussion on how to sustain this program and
institutionalize the research and educational activities
Geosciences awards the fewest undergraduate degrees—less than 1
percent—of all of the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)
fields, according to the National Science Foundation’s recent report on
Women, Minorities and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering
(January 2009)- We are helping make a difference

Since 2006 31 students spent 1 to 2 months
or more at NOAA research
facility. About 10 seminars and short
visits by NOAA and NCAR
scientists to NCAT in climate
sciences, atmospheric sciences
every year Regular NCAT faculty visit to
NOAA facilities Increased attendance at AGU
and AMS
Very few or no student
received summer research
training at NOAA labs.

National impacts on students/workforce development-
FISK -Initiating NOAA-relevant educational training at Fisk University;
Helped increased the enrollment of minority students in STEM majors. Ten
undergraduate students were supported to participate in NOAA-ISET
research.
FRESNO-NOAA-ISET funding has provided direct support for 9 Fresno State
students and has indirectly supported an additional 29 students over the
last four years.
CUNY-Since the inception of the ISET program, 60 students have been
impacted by the ISETCSC grant at CUNY. That includes 10 PhD (5
leveraged), 10 MS (2 leveraged), 21 BS (7 leveraged), and 19 high school
students.
ALASKA- As of October 9, 2010: 28 undergraduate students, 36 secondary
science teachers, and 80 high school students have participated in NOAA-
supported UAS Icefield to Ocean Watershed studies in southeast Alaska.
