I am very happy about this. Being part American Indian and knowing some of the struggles faced by many students on these reservations, it is really good to see NDSU stepping up and encouraging these students. Good job NDSU!!


The collaborative, funded by a $4.8 million National Science Foundation Grant, connects NDSU with four North Dakota tribal colleges to prepare and support Native American students who want to pursue an engineering career. The ultimate goal is to improve the diversity and education of engineering graduates in the state.

More engineers - good.
More diversity - good.

Don't really see the need to borrow $5 million from the Chinese to get more Native Americans into engineering though.
