9450684 Wink The faculty in the department of chemistry at Chicago State University (CSU), William Rainey Harper College (HC) and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) will join in a consortium to create, share, and evaluate curriculum changes in chemistry and related areas. Their efforts build upon networks already established for the purposes of curriculum reform. This new Consortium will create versatile, multi-faceted, and well-tested options for implementation at peer institutions. Each institution is responsible for the independent generation of one or more comprehensive curricula that will be implemented on their campus and later on the campus of one of the other Consortia members. CSU faculty will initially focus on a two-year combined physical sciences and mathematics program. HC faculty will initially focus on a two-year combined physical sciences and mathematics program. HC faculty will address both the general and organic sequences and non-major courses. UIC faculty will work on projects related to introductory chemistry, chemistry for engineers, and upper division courses. The personnel will also collaborate from the inception of the program on two inter-campus projects, The Data Project and The Chemistry Hook, designed to create a general set of materials to introduce research and life-related examples into chemistry courses. An annual symposium on science education issues will also be sponsored by the Consortium. ***y

9450684 Wink芝加哥州立大学（CSU）化学系的教师，威廉雷尼哈珀学院（HC）和 伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）将加入一个联盟，以创建，分享和评估化学及相关领域的课程变化。 它们的努力是建立在为课程改革而建立的网络基础上的。 这个新的联盟将为同行机构的实施创造多功能，多方面和经过充分测试的选择。 每个机构负责独立编制一个或多个综合课程，这些课程将在其校园内实施，并随后在联合会其他成员之一的校园内实施。 CSU的教师最初将专注于为期两年的物理科学和数学相结合的计划。 HC教师最初将专注于一个为期两年的物理科学和数学相结合的计划。 HC教师将同时解决一般和有机序列和非专业课程。 UIC教师将从事与入门化学，工程师化学和上层课程相关的项目。 人员还将从两个校园间项目，数据项目和化学挂钩，旨在创建一套通用的材料，以引入研究和生活相关的例子到化学课程的程序的开始合作。 联合会还将主办一次关于科学教育问题的年度专题讨论会。 ***y
