Curricular Development Workshops in Analytical Sciences

提案摘要 建议编号：9615091 提案标题：分析科学课程开发研讨会 翻译后摘要：赠款建议要求支持两个研讨会和两个半天的会议在1997年匹兹堡会议。 这两个研讨会的目的是讨论和建议课程的发展，以满足未来的分析科学家的教育需求。 Pittcon会议被提议作为一个机会，让更多的科学家参与讨论分析科学的现状和未来方向。 将成立一个6-8名成员的指导委员会，就内容提供咨询意见，并帮助挑选讲习班和皮特康会议的与会者。 该委员会将由来自2年制和4年制大学、研究生水平机构和技术型工业公司的活跃和知名科学家、教育工作者和领导人组成。 这两个讲习班将于1996年秋季和1997年春季在华盛顿地区的一个地点举行。 每次讲习班将邀请约24-30名代表分析科学家教育和培训利益攸关方的与会者，主要是本科生。 该项目的成果将是两份报告。 第一份报告将以“执行摘要”的形式编写，介绍第一次讲习班的内容和成果。 第二份报告将更加广泛，将说明问题，并提供背景资料，以及讲习班界定和确定的建议解决办法。 这些建议旨在为“调整”分析科学家的教育和培训提供框架，以满足当前和未来的需要。 课程改革的实施需要学术机构、技术产业、政府机构和专业协会的合作和支持。

PROPOSAL ABSTRACT Proposal Number: 9615091 Proposal Title: Curricular Development Workshops in Analytical Sciences Abstract: The grant proposal requests support for two workshops and two one-half day sessions at the 1997 Pittsburgh Conference. The purpose of the two workshops is to discuss and recommend curricular developments to meet the educational needs of tomorrow's analytical scientists. The Pittcon sessions are proposed as opportunities to engage a larger audience of scientists in discussions of the current status and the future directions in analytical sciences. A 6-8 member steering committee will be formed to provide advice on the contents and help select participants for the workshops and the Pittcon sessions. The committee will be comprised of active and well-known scientists, educators and leaders from 2- and 4-year colleges, graduate level institutions, and technology-based industrial companies. The two workshops will be held in the Fall of 1996 and the Spring of 1997 at a location in the Washington, DC area. Some 24-30 participants, representing stakeholders in the education and training of analytical scientists, mainly at the undergraduate level, will be invited to each workshop. The product of this project will be two reports. The first one will be written in the style of an "executive summary" to describe the contents and outcome of the first workshop. The second report will be more extensive and will state the problems with background information, and the recommended solutions, as defined and determined by the workshops. These recommendations are intended to provide the framework for the "restructuring" of the education and training of analytical scientists to meet current and future needs. Implementation of curricular changes will require the cooperation and support of academic institutions, technology-based industry, government agencies, and professional societies.
