A. Project SummaryAn interdisciplinary team of faculty from SME&T Departments across the University, under the leadership of the Chemistry Department, will employ informational and instructional technologies (IT) to initiate and propagate the reform of undergraduate science, mathematics, engineering and technology (SME&T) education at Columbia. The faculty team will be joined by undergraduates, graduate students and administrators to form an "IT cluster" that will consist of innovators, change agents, and opinion leaders who are willing and capable of catalyzing the "diffusion" of the acceptance reform of SME&T education throughout the University so that reform can become comprehensive and sustainable in a rapid manner.The goals of the IT cluster will be (1) significant improvement of the scientific and technical literacy of both science and nonscience majors; (2) an interdisciplinary collaborative engagement of university research faculty in the SME&T disciplines in the education of undergraduates from diverse backgrounds, interests and preparations; (3) the development of a reform model which can be transported to a wide range of educational institutions of higher education, including public and private research universities and colleges; (4) the development of IT materials at all possible levels as tools for educational delivery systems that are flexible and that recognize and accommodate different student preparation, skills and learning styles; (6) the establishment of outreach programs which establish partnerships with high schools in the NYC area, with selected small liberal arts colleges and with selected historically minority and black colleges; (7) continual assessment and evaluation and appropriate modification of the IT activities.

A.项目摘要一个跨学科团队的教师从中小企业T部门在整个大学，化学系的领导下，将采用信息和教学技术（IT）发起和宣传本科科学，数学，工程和技术（中小企业T）教育的改革在哥伦比亚。本科生、研究生和管理人员将加入教师团队，形成一个由创新者、变革推动者和意见领袖组成的“IT集群”，他们愿意并有能力催化整个大学中小企业T教育接受改革的“扩散”&，以便改革能够迅速变得全面和可持续。IT集群的目标将是（1）科学和非科学专业的科学和技术素养的显着提高;（2）&在不同背景，兴趣和准备的本科生的教育中，大学研究教师在SME T学科的跨学科合作参与;（3）发展一种改革模式，可推广到各种高等教育机构，包括公立和私立研究型大学和学院;（4）在所有可能的层次上开发信息技术材料，作为灵活的教育提供系统的工具，并承认和适应不同的学生准备、技能和学习风格;（6）建立外展计划，与纽约地区的高中建立伙伴关系，与选定的小型文理学院和选定的历史上少数民族和黑人学院;（7）不断评估和评价，并适当修改的IT活动。
