AISES is a part of our Diversity Programs in Engineering where all students are welcome to join and engage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

AISES is a national, non-profit organization which nurtures building of community by bridging science and technology with traditional Native values. Through its educational programs, AISES provides oportunities for American Indians and Native Alaskans to pursue studies in science, engineering, business and other academic arenas. The trained professionals then become technologically informed leaders within the Indian community. AISES’ ultimate goal is to be a catalyst for the advancement of American Indians and Native Alaskans as they seek to become self-reliant and self-determined members of society.<\/p>\n

National & Local Goals<\/h2>\n

The American Indian Science and Engineering Society was founded in 1977 by American Indian scientists, engineers and educators. In view of the high dropout rates and low college enrollment and graduation rates of American Indians compared with all other ethnic groups in the United States, and the severe under-representation of American Indians in the science and engineering fields, these Native professionals resolved to create an organization that would identify and remove the barriers to academic success for Native students.<\/p>\n

Locally, to provide support: educational, social, emotional, spiritual, and cultural via social activities, interpersonal relationships, study groups, and sports activities.<\/p>\n
