Education and Awareness DIAC Sub-Committee
Education and Awareness Subcommittee • Chair: Joe Kitterman, oxygenED, LCC • Joe Abella, Raytheon Technical Services Company • Tim Altom, Perficient Consulting • Donna Chastain, Raytheon Technical Services Company • Mike Cyb, Electronic Data Systems • Karl Kuehner, Cummins • Cindy Munerol, AT&T • Kevin Zaletel, United Parcel Service • Sam White, IUPUI

Oner Yurtseven
Education & Awareness Subcommittee • How can this committee address the following? • The US is not producing enough engineers and scientists to remain competitive in a global marketplace • There are not enough qualified students in the pipeline interested in a technical career • School of Engineering and Technology is tasked to increase enrollment as well as the quality of its students Information Resources: Thomas Friedman, “The World Is Flat” NAS Report “Rising Above The Gathering Storm”
Topics Discussed • IUPUI has in place various programs to attract students • There are a number of initiatives, such as PLTW, that are in place and appear to be working • Project Lead The Way • Hosted the conference in 2005 • 337 students attended • More would come if capacity had allowed • Conference included career based break-out sessions • Forensics • Motorsports • Indiana Dept of Education sponsors the program in the high schools • Each school is paid $450 per student
Other Points • Emphasis seems to be on attracting top students. Are average students adequately addressed? • IPS has an excellent relationship with West Lafayette • Dr. Sam White is preparing plan to address minority students • Stakeholders: Students, Parents, High School Teachers, IUPUI, Industry, Government • Can DIAC help the school have an impact with teachers? • As a resource • By recognizing outstanding high school teachers • What is being done for high school teachers now? • PLTW conference • Teachers requested more sessions for teachers • Teachers must be trained to teach the program • Some schools would like to offer the program but do not have trained faculty – (George Washington)
Some Starting Points • Sam White has been investigating the diversity efforts of the school • Looking at 6th – 11th grade • DIAC could work with Dr. White to see if we can attract more IPS students • IPS high potential students are already actively recruited • Perhaps we could look at the next tier of student • DIAC could offer an award to the PLTW teachers who have had the most impact • Present the award at the Honors Convocation – April 21
Education & Awareness Subcommittee • Draft Vision • Engineering & Technology attracts a growing number of more highly qualified students from a diversified population and is perceived as the school of choice by Stakeholders • Draft Mission • DIAC Education & Awareness Sub-Committee provides advice and other assistance to help the school achieve this vision. Specifically, • Facilitate(foster) a closer relationship between IUPUI and the high school community, i.e. teachers, guidance counselors • Sponsor industry speakers in the high school classroom • Sponsor DIAC recognition of high school teachers • Address groups of teachers to increase awareness of industry needs and activities
Education & Awareness Subcommittee • Proposed Near Term Actions • Prepare a DIAC Award for High School Teachers for the Honors Convocation, April 21 • “Project Lead the Way” teachers are natural choice. As timing for 2006 is an issue, one award will be made. • Establish award criteria • Determine number of awards & raise funds for future • Offer assistance to Dr. Sam White to help with review of Diversity Plan • Investigate other initiatives that link students, parents, teachers, IUPUI and industry
