In advance of launching the undergraduate STEM education initiative, AAU surveyed our institutions and the national landscape to develop a matrix of national efforts aimed at improving undergraduate STEM education. AAU continues to work closely with other organizations to coordinate our activities related to undergraduate STEM reform. Listed below are seminal reports and relevant national projects committed to improving undergraduate STEM teaching and learning.
