This project seeks to "reconnect" to the mathematical sciences enterprise two and four year college faculty who lack the time to keep up with research developments. The workshops expose them to current research topics in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science that are relevant to their teaching by involving them in a research center where much of the relevant research is being carried out. The project aims to enhance the ability of faculty to transform their classrooms into places that connect up to modern uses of mathematics and computer science and to help them produce classroom materials that reflect current research. Both summer conferences and a sequence of two-day conferences are taking place. The summer conferences, national in scope and directed at two and four-year college faculty with some prior exposure to discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science, present recent research results in topics such as computational molecular biology, network visualization, clustering, and visibility in geometry, and divide the participants into writing groups. The two-day conferences, regional in scope and directed at two year college faculty with little prior exposure to discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science, present an introduction to these fields, with connection to topics of current research interest, and also involve the participants in writing materials in a six month period between two two-day conferences. Participants in both the two-day and two-week conferences are expected to use the materials they have written as vehicles to bring discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science into their classrooms. Participants are encouraged to make their materials available to a broader audience through developing and publishing them in the DIMACS Undergraduate Module Series. *

这个项目寻求与数学科学企业的两年制和四年制大学教职员工重新建立联系，他们没有时间跟上研究进展。这些研讨会让他们接触到与他们的教学相关的离散数学和理论计算机科学的当前研究课题，让他们参与到一个研究中心，那里正在进行许多相关的研究。该项目旨在提高教师的能力，将他们的教室改造成与数学和计算机科学的现代应用相联系的地方，并帮助他们制作反映当前研究的课堂材料。夏季会议和一系列为期两天的会议都在举行。夏季会议是全国性的，面向有一定离散数学和理论计算机科学经验的两年和四年制大学教师，展示了计算分子生物学、网络可视化、集群和几何可见性等主题的最新研究成果，并将参与者分成写作小组。为期两天的会议，范围是地区性的，面向两年制大学教职员工，他们之前对离散数学和理论计算机科学几乎没有接触，介绍了这些领域的介绍，与当前研究感兴趣的主题有关，还让参与者在两次为期两天的会议之间的六个月时间里撰写材料。为期两天和两周的会议的参与者将使用他们写的材料作为工具，将离散数学和理论计算机科学带入他们的课堂。鼓励学员通过在DIMACS本科生模块系列中开发和发布他们的材料来向更广泛的受众提供材料。*
