The nation's undergraduate education system has often labeled the mathematics curriculum as a "filter" that removes many motivated and talented students from further study in science, engineering, and technology. At the institutional level, this filter is built by an interdisciplinary culture with poor communications among departments, lack of support for curricular activity, different and distinct expectations of the curriculum, and lack of plans for student growth and learning across the curriculum. To transform the ''filter'' into a "pump', for student success, a change in the culture of the mathematics, science, and engineering teaching communities must occur. The activities in this project which are affecting the necessary change build on successes of schools comprising the consortium. Workshops are being conducted that enable faculty to use projects, design curricula, model student growth, and present "lively" pedagogy. The project is developing programs where students learn skills in computing, writing, reasoning, and problem solving. The project vision is to establish environments conducive to interdisciplinary cooperation for designing and presenting instruction in all "partner" disciplines. Interdisciplinary projects are being used as a vehicle to move in stages from disconnected mathematics courses to a fully integrated experience in all partner disciplines. Teams at each institution consisting of faculty from several disciplines are collaborating to develop course materials, termed Interdisciplinary Lively Applications (ILAP). A core set of ILAP material has already been developed primarily at West Point and implemented over the past several years. Several types of ILAPs are envisioned beginning with the basic ILAP Project and culminating in ILAP Carry-Through Projects. The consortium is representative of all types of the nation's undergraduate institutions: two-year colleges, liberal arts colleges, engineering schools, historically black colleges, and research universities . Through these joint efforts of the institutions involved, the project is affecting thousands of undergraduate students by making a lasting cultural change through national dissemination of our activities. The ultimate goal is to develop an interdisciplinary culture that acts like a "pump" sending students into mathematics, science, and engineering.

美国的本科教育系统经常将数学课程标记为“过滤器”，将许多有积极性和才华的学生排除在科学、工程和技术领域的进一步学习之外。在机构层面，这种过滤是由跨学科文化造成的，部门之间沟通不畅，缺乏对课程活动的支持，对课程的不同和独特的期望，以及缺乏跨课程的学生成长和学习计划。为了将“过滤器”转变为“泵”，为了学生的成功，必须改变数学、科学和工程教学社区的文化。该项目中影响必要变革的活动建立在联盟学校成功的基础上。正在举办研讨会，使教师能够使用项目、设计课程、模拟学生成长并呈现“生动的”教学法。该项目正在开发课程，让学生学习计算、写作、 推理、解决问题。该项目的愿景是建立有利于跨学科合作的环境，以设计和提供所有“合作伙伴”学科的教学。跨学科项目被用作一种工具，分阶段从互不相关的数学课程转向所有合作伙伴学科的完全整合的经验。每个机构的团队由来自多个学科的教师组成，正在合作开发课程材料，称为 跨学科活跃应用（ILAP）。 ILAP 核心材料集主要由西点军校开发并在过去几年中实施。 设想了几种类型的 ILAP，从基本的 ILAP 项目开始，到 ILAP 结转项目结束。 该联盟代表了全国所有类型的本科院校：两年制学院、文理学院、工程学院、传统黑人学院 学院和研究型大学。通过相关机构的共同努力，该项目通过在全国范围内传播我们的活动，实现持久的文化变革，从而影响了数千名本科生。最终目标是发展一种跨学科文化，就像“泵”一样将学生送入数学、科学和工程领域。
