Conference on The Role of the Comprehensive University in U.S. Undergraduate Science Science: February 1989

该项目的目标是更好地了解综合大学在美国科学、工程和数学教育中的作用。综合性大学是高等教育工作的重要组成部分，为满足国家对理工科和数学类本科教育的需求做出了重大贡献。这项工作的核心部分是召开一次综合性大学代表会议，重点讨论这一主题。会议参与者的主要资源是会议前的报告，该报告分析了问题，描述了改善本科科学、工程和数学教育的一些方法，并为大学、政府和私营行业的进一步行动提供了建议。

The goal of this project is to develop a better understanding of the role of the Comprehensive University in U.S. science, engineering and mathematics education. The Comprehensive Universities are an important segment of the higher education effort and make a significant contribution toward meeting the nation's needs for undergraduate education in science, engineering and mathematics. A central part of the effort is a conference of representatives from the Comprehensive Universities focusing on the topic. A principal resource for the participants in the conference is the pre-conference report which analyzes the problems, describes some approaches for improving undergraduate science, engineering and mathematics education and offering recommendations for further actions by the universities, government and private industry.
