Woochul Lee, to implement educational and mentoring initiatives to grow the participation of Native Hawaiians in engineering.
UH Mānoa is one of a few Native Hawaiian minority-serving four-year institutions, and is the only institution in the U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands granting engineering degrees from a bachelor of science through
PhD. Lee and his team believe
UH Mānoa serves a critical role in supporting Native Hawaiians in engineering.
The researchers will use a cultural psychological approach to identify potential cultural barriers for entering graduate engineering programs, develop course materials originating from Native Hawaiian culture and establish multidisciplinary programs for professional development and mentoring. These resources for Native Hawaiians at the undergraduate level will support student retention, as well as encourage the pursuit of graduate degrees. The researchers will also collaborate with the Native Hawaiian Science & Engineering Mentorship Pr
