Overview Strengthen the Pre-Engineering Core Curriculum among PEEC campuses (including an online components) Prepare and support Native Hawaiian students to Engineering through Mentoring and Undergraduate Research Experiences. Engage Native Hawaiian students in Sustainable Energy Engineering issues, to industries and community partners.

Activities: Pre-Engineering Core Identified and Articulated a Common Pre-Engineering Curriculum 11 courses & 1 laboratory Online Development: 75% Remainings: Chemistry Lab, Calculus III, and Applied Statics Pre-Engineering Core Chemistry Mathematics Physics Applied Mechanics Programming Basic Circuit Analysis Community Colleges ASNS College of Engineering

Activities: Recruitment ‘IKE recruitment High school Connections (Counselors, teachers, partner campuses) High School Interactions (Class presentation & Brochure) Community Connections (family members, friends, etc..)
