Building upon its previous Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement project, " Integration of Workshop Approaches in Calculus and Precalculus", the SUNY coalition will now focus on the content and mode of instruction in Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) and Linear Algebra. The SUNY Coalition, comprised of twenty nine two- and four-year schools, will be expanded state-wide to include private institutions. Participants will learn to: integrate modern curricula (conceptualization, exploration, and higher-level problem solving) into the teaching of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) and Linear Algebra; integrate technology and innovative pedagogy into the teaching of ODE and Linear Algebra; attract and retain students from underrepresented groups in ODE and Linear Algebra; change the academic culture by collaborating with the Long Island Consortium for Mathematical Sciences Throughout the Curriculum to extend mathematical sciences throughout the curriculum. These efforts will help to: increase faculty's knowledge in the content and pedagogy related to teaching and scholarship in ODE and Linear Algebra; emphasize the importance of mathematical modeling in industry; improve student understanding and retention of fundamental mathematics concepts; provide the opportunity for faculty to develop and initiate alternatives to the lecture format; and promote effective communication between two- and four-year institutions and users of mathematics in the real world. The first-year participants comprised of Lead Professors from the original SUNY Coalition and new members will implement ODE and / or Linear Algebra modern curricula and innovative pedagogical approaches in the year following the summer training. The implementation plan for the new participants of the second year will be the same as that of the first year. In addition the Lead Professors, selected from the first-year participants, will begin work on interdisciplinary courses.

在其以前的本科教师增强项目的基础上，“微积分和Precalcus研讨会方法的整合”，SUNY联盟现在将专注于常微分方程（ODE）和线性代数的教学内容和模式。纽约州立大学联盟由29所两年制和四年制学校组成，将在全州范围内扩大，包括私立学校。学员将学习：整合现代课程（概念化，探索和更高层次的问题解决）到常微分方程（ODE）和线性代数的教学中;将技术和创新教学法融入ODE和线性代数的教学中;吸引和留住来自ODE和线性代数代表性不足的群体的学生;通过与Long Island Consortium for Mathematical Sciences Throughout the Curriculum合作，将数学科学扩展到整个课程，从而改变学术文化。这些努力将有助于：增加教师在与ODE和线性代数的教学和奖学金相关的内容和教学法方面的知识;强调数学建模在工业中的重要性;提高学生对基本数学概念的理解和保留;为教师提供开发和启动替代讲座形式的机会;并促进两年制和四年制院校与真实的世界中的数学用户之间的有效沟通。第一年的参与者包括来自原SUNY联盟的首席教授和新成员将在夏季培训后的一年内实施ODE和/或线性代数现代课程和创新的教学方法。第二年新学员的实施计划与第一年相同。此外，从第一年学员中选出的首席教授将开始跨学科课程的工作。
