the Civil War, shortly after the land-grant legislation was enacted, when the historically blackcollege system was established. The intentional choices made by Tuskegee and Howard collegesto offer classical humanities educational programs versus applied programs was done with theintent of providing a higher-intellectual set of opportunities for their graduates, in effect allowingthem to become doctors and lawyers and teachers as opposed to applied technologists (Carney).The comparable choice for tribally controlled colleges, currently being decided eitherintentionally or not, is the focus of this paper.The tribal college movement, largely born in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, served twoimmediate demands on their respective reservations

How are the characteristics of LTS faculty different from other engineering faculty? a. It is hypothesized that LTS faculty might be different than other engineering faculty, since differences have been found among the students who engage in LTS; for example, women might be over-represented among LTS faculty compared to engineering faculty overall. b. The demographic characteristics for LTS faculty were identified to answer research question 1. The characteristics for engineering faculty overall were taken

that they wanted to avoid keepinga design notebook, which is a requirement for the EPICS class. After discussions with the currentstudent leaders, it was determined that the actual differential of work between EWB-USA andEPICS is not that significant and the benefits of the additional accountability of being graded forcredit motivated the change in policy to limit the number of audits.The EPICS curricular and assessment processes aligned very well with the EWB-USA structureand philosophy. Both EPICS and EWB-USA promote and rely on strong student leaders. TheEPICS structure did not reduce the student leadership and it allowed the inclusion of theprofessional mentors.

help rectify this situation. In the process,it is believed that enthusiasm for engineering and science will increase among both adults andyoung people. Survey data indicates that demonstrating the underlying ingenuity behind nature,as exemplified above, has been moderately successful in accomplishing this goal.Thus far, as a part of this grant-funded project, 79 presentations have been made to communitygroups, churches and Christian schools with a total audience of 2,500 people. A diverse selectionof 23 of these groups was anonymously surveyed in an attempt to assess the impact of thepresentations and drive improvements for the future. The presentations typically close with livelyquestion and answer sessions between speaker(s) and audience. A
