The Science and Social Issues Related to Global Environmental Change: Honors Colloquim

根据这笔赠款，罗德岛大学将通过1991年春季学期荣誉讨论会的机制，在与全球环境变化的科学和社会科学方面有关的教育推广方面开展一系列重大倡议中的第一个倡议。荣誉学院的学术讨论会以周三晚上的公开讲座和荣誉学院大一和大二学生的补充本科课程的形式，结合了公众宣传。罗德岛大学将在1991年春季邀请世界著名的教育家和科学家到校园来参加周三晚上的讲座。他们将把晚上的讲座录像，以补充课程的形式进行长期教育，并为远程学习市场开发一门新课程。受邀演讲者的演讲将通过一些网络和机制出版，并与课程材料和阅读材料一起提供给其他感兴趣的教育机构和公共团体。将通过海洋技术学会通过《海洋技术学会杂志》的特刊制作一份专题讨论会卷。这项活动很重要，因为它旨在增加进入环境科学专业的合格学生人数。

Under this grant, the University of Rhode Island will carry out its first, in a series, major initiatives in educational outreach related to the science and social science aspects of global environmental change through the mechanism of an Honor's Colloquium for the spring semester 1991. The Honor's Colloquium is a combination of public outreach, in the form of Wednesday evening public lectures and a complementary undergraduate course for freshman and sophomore Honor's students. The University of Rhode Island will bring world-renown educators and scientists to the campus during the spring 1991 for the Wednesday evening lectures. They will videotape the evening lectures for long-term educational prospects in the form of additional-to-offered- courses and the development of a new course for the distance- learning market. The invited speaker presentations will be published and available along with curriculum materials and readings to other interested educational institutions and public groups through a number of networks and mechanisms. A Colloquium volume will be produced through the Marine Technology Society through a special issue of the Marine Technology Society Journal. This activity is important because it seeks to increase the pool of qualified students entering the environmental sciences.
