The Council for Undergraduate Research (CUR) recently convened a panel of experts at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to discuss how the nation's competitiveness goals can be advanced by enriching the educational focus for students and teachers in the critical fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The panelists advocated the revitalization of the undergraduate curriculum to include approaches that place students at the center of the educational process and enable them to experience the excitement of discovery. Rigorous, hands-on experiences in the classroom that emphasize creative solutions and develop effective problem-solving skills will not only encourage students into technical fields but also develop an educated citizenry with an appreciation of "how science is done". To advance this effort CUR released its newest publication, Developing and Sustaining a Research-Supportive Curriculum: A Compendium of Successful Practices, at the event.
