The chief data-gathering activity was a one and one-half day workshop. Reasons for establishing a four-year engineering program at a TCU were outlined in the workshop "making it possible for American Indian students to complete a four-year engineering degree entirely within the tribal college system; reducing the high attrition rate of American Indian students who attend mainstream educational institutions; and providing an engineering program that is culturally relevant to tribal students. 606 $aEngineering 606 $aEthnology$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aEngineering. 615 0$aEthnology$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a371.829 712 02$aNational Academy of Engineers of the National Academies.$bSteering Committee for Engineering Studies at the Tribal Colleges. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968043703321 996 $aEngineering studies at tribal colleges and universities$94359343 997 $aUNINA
