In this project a seven college collaboration is integrating inquiry-based learning, mathematical modeling and technology into the mathematics curriculum. These seven colleges, which represent a subset of the New York State Coalition (NYSC) of some 30 two and four-year colleges, are adapting materials and educational practices developed by the principal investigators of NSF projects as well as other public and privately supported mathematics, science, and technology (MST) projects. In particular, the colleges are adapting and implementing materials developed under the Mathematics Across the Curriculum projects. The seven schools are SUNY Oswego, SUNY Farmingdale, SUNY Oneonta, SUNY Brockport, Adirondack Community College, St. John Fisher College and Alfred University. Faculty and administrators at these institutions are committed to making institutional-wide change and are endorsing programmatic changes.The expectations are to: (a) increase faculty's knowledge of the content and pedagogy related to teaching and scholarship in mathematics and its application; (b) promote learning by inquiry in the context of mathematics, science and technology; (c) emphasize to faculty the importance of mathematical modeling in courses; (d) demonstrate how faculty in mathematics and in other disciplines can cooperate to develop interdisciplinary courses and instructional materials suitable for implementation at two and four-year schools; and (e) promote effective communication between two- and four-year institutions and users of mathematics in non academic environments. These expectations are being achieved by the collaborating group partnering with principal investigators of national projects to address the following themes: Mathematical Modeling, Inquiry-Based Learning, Partnerships, Technology, and Programmatic Change.

在这个项目中，七所大学合作将探究性学习、数学建模和技术整合到数学课程中。这七所学院是纽约州联盟(NYSC)的一部分，由大约30所两年制和四年制大学组成，正在改编由NSF项目以及其他公共和私人资助的数学、科学和技术(MST)项目的主要调查人员开发的材料和教育实践。特别是，各学院正在调整和实施在课程项目中根据数学开发的材料。这七所学校是纽约州立大学奥斯威戈分校、法明戴尔分校、奥尼奥塔分校、布洛克波特分校、阿迪朗达克社区学院、圣约翰·费舍尔学院和阿尔弗雷德大学。这些机构的教员和行政人员致力于进行机构范围的改革，并支持方案改革。期望是：(A)增加教员对与数学教学和奖学金及其应用有关的内容和教学方法的知识；(B)促进在数学、科学和技术方面的探究式学习；(C)向教员强调数学建模在课程中的重要性；(D)展示数学和其他学科的教员如何合作，开发适合在两年制和四年制学校实施的跨学科课程和教学材料；以及(E)促进两年制和四年制院校与非学术环境中的数学用户之间的有效交流。合作小组与国家项目的主要调查人员合作，正在实现这些期望，以解决以下主题：数学建模、基于探究的学习、伙伴关系、技术和方案变革。
