students in the Reservations need to be nurtured, motivated and encouraged to pursuehigher education in MSE disciplines. The College of Engineering and Architecture of NorthDakota State University and the five Tribally Controlled Community Colleges in the State ofNorth Dakota are currently working on a multi-year collaborative project to increase the numberof Native American students pursuing college education in mathematics, science, andengineering disciplines. Motivating and encouraging the high and junior high students from thefive Reservations in the State to pursue college education in engineering is one of the majorobjectives of the project. Currently in its third year, the project is engaging groups of high andjunior high students from

U.S. graduates in science, mathematicsand engineering is a complex problem that requires the participation of many parties,engineering schools have a critical role to play to improve engineering student retention.Engineering students face unexpected difficulties to complete their program. Without beingcomprehensive, among them we can list the following: a) Ineffective advising both in theacademic curriculum and regarding the profession, b) low quality of teaching; c) unavailabilityof faculty members; d) length for degree in excess of four years; and e) low grades in sciencecourses (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry) that are prerequisites to major engineering* (See also: Karan Watson, “Retention of Undergraduate Students in Engineering

This plan typically includes the terms of hiring and any special conditions connected to the terms and what the new faculty member wishes to accomplish in terms of teaching excellence, distinction in research, scholarship and creative activity, and service or engagement recognition. It would be wise, of course, for the new faculty member to indicate the nature and amount of the resources needed and promised to accomplish the plan. b. Once agreed to by both the chair and the new faculty member, the draft plan is forwarded to the dean for feedback and approval. c.

Acceptable evidence that the desired results have beenachieved requires assessment of learning. Assessment may be one of three general types:content-focused quiz and test questions, open-ended problems that require critical thinking, andauthentic performance tasks and projects. Assessment measurements may include quantitativedata, qualitative observations or comments, and reflective statements by faculty and students.This process is a good structure for curriculum revision, but meticulous completion of everyaspect of each stage of
