Navajo Technical University has received a $2.0 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) awarded June 1, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2031. The project, titled ICE-TI: Project to Initiate the Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, supports the design and implementation of the first doctoral degree program in engineering at a Tribal College and University (TCU). The award funds the development of a PhD program with concentrations in electrical and industrial engineering, including the recruitment and engagement of qualified faculty to lead doctoral candidates in research focused on energy security and independence. By providing locally accessible terminal degree opportunities, the project is designed to enhance STEM workforce capacity, increase retention of credentialed engineering faculty at TCUs, and create pathways for indigenous students to pursue advanced degrees and postdoctoral or faculty positions in engineering. The initiative directly aligns with the National Science Foundation's broader mission to increase science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) instructional and research capacities at institutions serving the Nation's indigenous student populations. By expanding graduate-level STEM offerings at a TCU, the project expands career opportunities for Native American students in challenging STEM fields while fostering research studies with local significance.
