The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant to Navajo Technical University (NTU) under the STEM Education (47.076) program. The grant, titled "TEA CENTER RENEWAL: SUSTAINING TECHNOLOGICAL EXCELLENCE PURSUIT IN ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AT NAVAJO TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY (S.T.E.P)", supports the renewal of NTU's Center for Advanced Manufacturing (CAM). The CAM focuses on integrating advanced manufacturing research, education, and workforce development through initiatives such as student internships, faculty research experiences, and publication of research articles. During the renewal period from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2029, the CAM will expand into high-priority areas like cybersecurity and green energy technologies, offer new educational opportunities like micro-certifications, and continue partnerships with national laboratories, industry, and other institutions to advance knowledge and goals in advanced manufacturing. The project aims to contribute to the economic stability of the Navajo Nation by developing a skilled technical workforce and preparing students for advanced degrees.
