The Chautauqua Program provides faculty an annual series of workshops in which research and teaching scholars at the frontiers of a number of science disciplines, mathematics, and engineering work intensively for several days with undergraduate faculty to bring them up to date with the state of the art. The workshops provide opportunities for participating scholar instructors to communicate new knowledge, concepts, and techniques directly to college teachers in ways which are immediately beneficial to their teaching. The overall objective of this program is to enable undergraduate faculty in the sciences, mathematics, and engineering to maintain their undergraduate instruction at the highest levels of effectiveness. To achieve this goal year after year, the Chautauqua Program actively seeks to refresh to the pool of workshops with new education experiences reflecting the progress in improving undergraduate education. The Chautauqua Program is national in scope. It is anticipated that throughout the USA these workshops will provide 15,000 faculty with enrichment experiences who will (collectively) impact 2,625,000 undergraduate students per year after year 5. It is also anticipated that about 5,000 of these faculty participants will be drawn from two-year colleges.

Chautauqua计划为教师提供一年一度的系列研讨会，在研讨会上，许多科学学科、数学和工程前沿的研究和教学学者与本科生教师一起密集工作数天，向他们介绍最新的技术。这些研讨会为参与的学者教师提供机会，以直接对他们的教学有益的方式向大学教师交流新知识、新概念和新技术。该计划的总体目标是使科学、数学和工程的本科生教师能够保持其本科教学的最高水平的有效性。为了年复一年地实现这一目标，Chautauqua方案积极寻求用反映改善本科教育进展的新教育经验来更新研讨会池。Chautauqua方案是全国性的。预计在美国各地，这些研讨会将为15,000名教师提供丰富的经验，他们将(共同)影响每年2,625,000名本科生。预计这些教师参与者中约有5,000人将来自两年制学院。
