The UCLA Science Challenge

9455570查普曼加州大学洛杉矶分校科学挑战赛开始于1991年，作为一个为期五年的计划，使命是为本科生，特别是低年级的学生带来创新，研究水平的指导，以保留低年级的科学专业，招募新的科学专业，吸引更多的少数民族学生对科学，并提高学生对科学的态度。目标是为物理科学的每个低年级课程注入新材料，并创建反映物理和生命科学学科的广度和重叠的新跨学科课程。当我们进入该计划的第四个年头，我们的目标是实现我们的收费。 在项目的上半年，我们主要针对该部门最大的通识教育课程，天文学和大气科学课程，每年共招收8000名非科学专业的学生，以及化学和物理学的物理科学专业课程。 我们现在的主要重点将是生命科学专业的物理课程。我们的未成年人的重点，对于所有生命科学和物理科学专业必须采取的巨大的一般化学课程，将集中在模块，让学生可视化三维分子和晶体结构。 我们将在地球和空间科学系，天文学和大气科学中保持一个小的存在，以保持加州大学洛杉矶分校物理科学革新的一致性，并履行我们完成这些部门已经开始的模块的承诺。

9455570 Chapman The UCLA Science Challenge began in 1991 as a five-year program with a mission to bring innovative, research-level instruction to undergraduates, particularly lower division students in order to retain lower-division science majors, recruit new science majors, attract more minority students to science, and to improve student attitudes toward science. The goal is to infuse every lower division course in the physical sciences with new material and to create new interdisciplinary courses that reflect the breadth and overlap of the physical and life science disciplines. As we enter the fourth year of the program, we are on target to meet our charge. During the first half of the project, we primarily attacked both the largest general education classes in the division, the Astronomy and Atmospheric Science courses, which collectively enroll 8000 non-science majors each year, and also courses for the physical science majors in Chemistry and Physics. Our major focus now will be on the Physics course for Life Science majors. Our minor focus, for the enormous General Chemistry course that all Life Science and Physical Science majors must take, will concentrate on modules that allow students to visualize 3-dimensional molecular and crystalline structures. We will keep a small presence in the Earth and Space Science department, in Astronomy, and in Atmospheric Science in order to maintain the coherence of the renovation of the Physical Sciences at UCLA and to fulfill our commitment to complete the modules which these departments have begun.
