DESCRIPTORS Economic Factors; Educational Research; *Electronic Libraries; Engineering Education; Higher Education; *Information Technology; Libraries; *Library Science; Mathematics Education; Science Education; Technology Education; *Undergraduate Study ABSTRACT In collaboration with the National Research Council's (NRC's) Computer Science and Telecommunications Board, the Center for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Education responded to a request from the National Science Foundation (NSF) by forming a project steering committee consisting of representatives from the NRC's four postsecondary boards and committees. The Steering Committee commissioned 10 "white papers" from individuals with expertise in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education, technological aspects of digital libraries, library science, and economic and legal aspects of this rapidly evolving area of knowledge and research. These commissioned papers served as the basis for plenary and break-out discussions at a workshop that was held at the National Academy of Sciences on August 7-8, 1997. Issues considered included curricular, pedagogical, and user issues; logistic and technology issues; and economic and legal issues. Appendices include the commissioned papers, workshop agenda, and a list of workshop participants and NSF observers. (Contains 14 references.)

The members of the committee responsible for the report were chosen for their special competences and with regard for appropriate balance. This report has been reviewed by a group other than the authors according to proce- dures approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council (NRC) is the operating arm of the National Acade- mies Complex, which includes the National Academy of Sciences, the National Acade- my of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized in 1916 by the National Academy of Sciences.to associate the broad commu- nity of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and providing impartial advice to the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the princi- pal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Acad- emy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scien- tific and engineering communities.The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine.Dr. Bruce M. Alberts, President of the National Academy of Sciences, and Dr. William Wulf, President of the National Acade- my of Engineering, also serve as chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council. The Center for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Education (CSMEE) was established in 1995 to provide coordination of all the National Research Council's edu- cation activities and reform efforts for students at all levels, specifically those in kinder- garten through twelfth grade, undergraduate institutions, school-to-work programs, and continuing education.The Center reports directly to the Governing Board of the National Research Council. This study by CSMEE was conducted under a grant from the National Science Foundation to the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council (DUE- 9727710).

Titled “Gendered Environments: Exploring Histories of Women, Genders, and Sexualities in Social, Political, and ‘Natural,’ Worlds,” the conference sought to elicit productive and intersectional conversation about the en- vironmental challenge of climate change and the centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment. We all now know firsthand what it feels like to be standing in the swirl of a historic happening. This year’s Big Berks has been like none other in that it was scheduled to take place during what turned out to be the global pandemic of COVID-19. The Berks intellectual and social community, like communities all around the world, has had to adapt to emergency, relinquish plans years in the making, and forestall wishes of convening together in one place. After extensive deliberations, the officers and trustees of the Berkshire Conference agreed that in light of the profound uncertainty and very real health risks related to COVID-19, and in light of our host university’s announcement about the suspen- sion of sponsored events until further notice, it was not possible to meet as planned.

E-mail: [email protected] As part of a university-wide initiative to help students develop a greater awareness of international issues and compete in a global market, our College of Engineering piloted a bi-national program for freshmen engineering students. To evaluate course effectiveness and assess student learning for the University of Washington students we implemented a comprehensive plan utilizing triangulation through multiple methods. Our assessment results indicate course goals were met: freshmen were able to participate and learn from authentic international research and design projects. By adopting a triangulation approach we were able to cross-validate results and develop an enhanced course and more streamlined assessment instruments.

CL-1 identifies important issues in undergraduate education and determines the best strategies for addressing them. Workshop discussions examine curriculum content and delivery practices within disciplines and explore the cross- cutting themes of articulation, equity, and lite'racy. The CL-1 team answers the following questions:(1) What are the most strategically valuable research questions?;(2) What are the most appropriate research methodologies?;(3) What is the original mix of research expertise?; and (4) What other considerations might there be?

  • Annual Report of ADVANCE Program for University of Wisconsin-Madison 2005
    Annual Report of ADVANCE program for University of Wisconsin-Madison 2005 Principals, University of Wisconsin-Madison: Prof. Molly Carnes, Department of Medicine Prof. Jo Handelsman, Department of Plant Pathology Dr. Jennifer Sheridan, WISELI Preparation of this report was made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF #0123666). Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. Executive Summary: Major Accomplishments in Year 4 In 2005, Provost Peter Spear announced his retirement. Before he left campus he sent the following note to co-PIs Jo Handelsman, Molly Carnes, and Jennifer Sheridan: “The ADVANCE grant and WISELI have made an enormous positive impact on our campus, and I believe the programs that have been started will continue to do so for many years. None of that would have been possible without your leadership, energy, hard work, and skills in working with people across campus.” Indeed, we are finding that after four years WISELI has become a recognized leader on campus in the areas of departmental climate and faculty hiring. We are the “go-to” resource for questions related to not only women in science and engineering, but for diversity in the academy in general. When someone needs a reference, they call us. When someone has an idea for a great speaker or workshop, they call us. When someone has a problem with a tenure case, they call us. Campus leaders recognize how the work we have done has enhanced the environment at UW-Madison for everybody.
