Project Kaleidoscope Phase IV: Establishing National Forums and Networks Working Toward Building and Sustaining Strong Undergraduate SME&T Communities

跨学科（99）二零零一至二零零二年度，学院将资助两个暑期研习班（各16个研习班）及若干其他研习班，以提升大学部教师的技能、理解及能力，加强学生对中小企业与科技的学习。由领先的国家变革机构策划和促进，这些PKAL活动的设计是建立以发现为基础，研究丰富，协作学习环境的模型，以吸引学生并使他们能够在中小企业和技术学科中取得成功。受益于本科中小企业教育的一些最佳实践经验，参与者将带着立即在其家乡校园采取行动的议程，并计划与他们的研讨会同行/辅导员，区域和国家同事以及PKAL保持联系，以支持持续的改革努力。学校的相关工作，包括扩大网络存在、印刷出版物、咨询服务、21世纪学院以及评估学校参与对参与的个人和机构的影响，将支持这些讲习班和研究所。

Interdisciplinary (99) In 2001/2002, PKAL will sponsor two summer institutes (16 workshops at each) and a select number of other workshops to enhance the skills, understandings and capacities of undergraduate faculty seeking to strengthen SME&T learning of their students. Planned and facilitated by leading national agents of change, the design of these PKAL activities is to model the discovery-based, research-rich, collaborative learning environment that works to attract students to and enable them to succeed in SME&T disciplines. Benefiting from a hands-on experience with some of the best practices in undergraduate SME&T education, participants will leave with an agenda for immediate action on their home campuses and with a plan to keep connected to their workshop peers/facilitators, regional and national colleagues and to PKAL for support in continuing reform efforts. Related PKAL efforts, including an expanded web presence, print publications, a consulting service, the Faculty for the 21st Century and the evaluation of the impact of PKAL involvement on participating individuals and institutions, will support these workshops and institutes.
