This project will provide partial support for a series of short courses on topics of current interest to college and university science faculty. The course presenters are scholars at the frontiers of their disciplines who meet intensively for several days with faculty to communicate new knowledge, concepts, and techniques which will enhance college instruction. The national program will offer about 70 courses per year at locations in the various regions of the country. Also, some courses will be offered at special discipline-related sites. Included will be topics of interest to faculty in mathematics, the natural and social sciences, and engineering. The program will be evaluated for constant improvement of its service to faculty. It will update and enhance the teaching of an average of some two thousand college and university faculty each year. In addition to NSF support, participants and their institutions will contribute about three times as much to the operation of the project.

该项目将为一系列短期课程提供部分支持，这些课程涉及当前学院和大学理科教师感兴趣的主题。课程主持人是其学科前沿的学者，他们与教职员工密集会面数天，交流新知识、新概念和新技术，以加强大学教学。这项国家计划每年将在该国不同地区的地点提供约70门课程。此外，一些课程将在与学科相关的特殊网站上提供。将包括数学、自然科学和社会科学以及工程学教师感兴趣的主题。该计划将接受评估，以确保其为教师提供的服务不断改进。它将更新和加强平均每年约2000名学院和大学教职员工的教学。除了国家科学基金会的支持外，参与者和他们的机构将为该项目的运营做出大约三倍的贡献。
