Goals.....................................
The primary goal of the project is
to increase the number of
students overall and the number of students of underrepresented
groups majoring in the sciences and mathematics. This goal
directly addresses two of NASA's long-term outcomes.
First, the project seeks to increase the number of degrees in
science earned by students who have historically been
underrepresented in NASA-related fields. Second, the project
aims to prepare greater numbers of these students who ultimately
will gain employment in space-related industries.

..................................and Objectives
To reach the overall goal of this
project, the faculty team will strive
|
to improve student learning and satisfaction in
their coursework.
to revise the curriculum in order to strengthen the connections between
disciplines.
to develop a mutually supportive community of science and mathematics faculty.
|
|
..........Strategies to
be used by the faculty team |
|
Faculty will incorporate hands-on, interactive
teaching techniques. See Best
Practices.
Because Space Science by its nature is
interdisciplinary, it is the ideal unifying concept upon which
connections between disciplines will be built.
Courses will include an increased use of
technology with new equipment being utilized within the laboratory. |
