  1. Interdisciplinary Scientific Environmental Technology Cooperative Science Center (ISETCSC) ISETCSC DAY 2011

  2. 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 www.ncat.edu | Explore.

  3. FACTS ABOUT ISETCSC North Carolina A&T State University -Lead North Carolina State University University of Minnesota Fisk University-Tennessee California State University-Fresno University of Alaska Southeast City University of New York Partner Institutions Aligned with the NOAA Office of Atmospheric Research MISSION Train students in NOAA scientific areas and develop technology and analysis techniques of global data sets for improved understanding of climate and environmental change Thirty one scientists and engineers in seven institutions Nine Academic Departments NCA&T Global warming task force report

  4. Scientific Technology Development Climate adoption and mitigation, healthy oceans and resilient communities Climate variability, climate forcing agents Global Observing Systems Information Technology Sensor Technology Weather ready nation: Severe weather and flooding, societal impact Engagement and technology enterprise: Education, work force development BASED ON A STRONG HOLISTIC INTERDICIPLINARY INTERACTION BETWEEN BASIC AND APPLIED SCIENCE, ENGINEERING, COMPUTER SCIENCE AND SOCIAL SCIENCES

  5. Before 2006 Since 2006 • A BS in Atmospheric Sciences in meteorology –second in the Nation at an HBCU • A PhD concentration in Atmospheric Sciences • Developed 18 undergraduate and 8 graduate courses in atmospheric sciences and atmospheric technology • Expanded MS thesis projects in atmospheric sciences in STEM departments • Five Atmospheric Sciences Faculty • NOAA relevant course content delivered in the University orientation courses for undeclared majors No degree programs in Atmospheric Sciences and Meteorology No courses Offered in Atmospheric Sciences www.ncat.edu | Explore. Discover. Become.

  6. Before 2006 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. No seminars by NOAA scientists Very few or no faculty exchange with NOAA labs Very few or no attendance at AGU or AMS www.ncat.edu | Explore. Discover. Become.

  15. 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. ISETCSC-NAC meeting 11/1/10

  16. Collaborations among partners • ISETCSC investigators received a $10 million NSF project on advancing the study of global climate change.- A collaboration between ISETCSC PI’s in Minnesota, NCSU and NCA&T. Thrust area II and III meeting in Minnesota • Student exchange between campuses:- Fisk undergraduates spending summer at NCA&T and Minnesota. NCA&T Students at CUNY • ISETCSC students from FRESNO, ALASKA, MINNESOTA and NCA&T at NOAA-ESRL • STUDENT Virtual meetings-creating an ISETCSC community of students www.ncat.edu | Explore. Discover.
