This project addresses the acquisition of equipment for project-oriented open-schedule laboratories and learning support facilities for interdisciplinary science courses. The institution now offers three interdisciplinary science courses for education majors and an interdisciplinary core science sequence of two courses that is being developed under a current National Science Foundation grant. The new equipment is being used in conjunction with these five courses. Experience gained in these laboratories can ultimately be used as a basis for the development of laboratories and learning support facilities that will be used by all education majors and by all students taking core science courses. This project deals with a number of common problems in undergraduate laboratory science, including the efficient use of space, equipment, and personnel; the difficulties of applying active learning techniques under the constraints imposed by large class sizes; and the need to improve science literacy and process skills to national levels.

该项目涉及为以项目为导向的开放式实验室和跨学科科学课程的学习支持设施购置设备。该机构现在为教育专业提供三门跨学科科学课程，以及正在根据目前的国家科学基金拨款开发的两门跨学科核心科学课程。新设备正在与这五个课程一起使用。在这些实验室获得的经验最终可以作为开发实验室和学习支持设施的基础，所有教育专业的学生和所有参加核心科学课程的学生都将使用这些实验室和学习支持设施。该项目涉及本科实验室科学中的一些常见问题，包括空间、设备和人员的有效利用；在大班规模的限制下应用主动学习技术的困难；以及需要在国家层面上提高科学素养和处理技能。
