Interdisciplinary Scientific Environmental Technology
Cooperative Science Center (ISETCSC)
The mission of ISETCSC is to develop capacity in research in NOAA’s scientific areas
within N.C. A&T and six partner institutions (including NCSU) to be able to train
undergraduate and graduate students in NOAA’s scientific areas and increase public
awareness through K-12 summer camps and teacher workshops. Its overall goal is
technology development for understanding climate and environmental change. The
primary objective of ISETCSC is producing underrepresented doctoral students in
NOAA’s scientific areas. The effectiveness of the ISETCSC is specifically assessed
through: the number of students receiving training in NOAA’s sciences; the number of
graduates in NOAA sciences; career success of graduates; number of collaborations
with NOAA scientists; leveraging of NOAA funding and; relevance of the research to
the needs of NOAA.
Energy and Environmental Studies (EES) PhD Program
The EES PhD faculty research advisers for the students come from the College of Arts
and Sciences, School of Agriculture & Environmental Sciences, College of Engineering,
School of Business & Economics, and School of Technology. The program is training
interdisciplinary leaders in global energy and environmental issues. This is an effort
to increase the number of underrepresented professionals and educators, especially
African Americans, available to work in the energy and environmental fields.
