This paper provides a research-based framework for promoting institutional change in higher education.
The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust has awarded AAU Undergraduate STEM Education Initiative a second significant grant.
Models for higher education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are under pressure around the world. Although most STEM faculty and practicing scientists have learned successfully in a traditional format, they are the exception, not the norm, in their success.
One part of the University of Arizona AAU Undergraduate STEM Education Project is focused upon addressing the personal and cultural influences on change in the instructional practices of STEM faculty members.
An increasingly competitive global economy as well as growing challenges in sustainability require the best possible teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) classes at American universities. Unfortunately, undergraduate students are not being taught these subjects as well as they can be.
The University of California–Davis (UCD) is a large research institution with over 26,000 undergraduate students. Nearly 60 percent of students are pursuing a major in STEM (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics).
"Achieving Systemic Change" is intended to serve as a resource for those who have a stake in reforming STEM education.
The grant was awarded by the NSF “Improving Undergraduate STEM Education” program in the Education and Human Resources Directorate.
Washington University in St. Louis is one of eight Association of American Universities (AAU) member campuses selected to serve as project sites for the association’s five-year initiative to improve the quality of undergraduate education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields at its member institutions, AAU officials announced today.
The University of Pennsylvania has been named a project site for the Undergraduate STEM Education Initiative, a multiyear, multimillion dollar project that aims to improve the quality of education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
