This project is addressing the need to improve the mathematics learning environment in two-year colleges by generating increased student enthusiasm in the exploration and applications of mathematics and by attracting more students to science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) fields of study. The overall project goal is to provide faculty with a complete package of information and materials for establishing and conducting an interdisciplinary course for the study of mathematics. The package includes (a) ten laboratory exercises, each having a technology problem, a bibliotechnology research exercise, a method to develop the mathematics tools required to solve the problem, a model portfolio, and a thesis defense; (b) initiation of a marketing plan; and (c) initiation of a management plan. Means to accomplish the project objectives involve in-kind support from the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC), Texas Instruments, and Capital Community College. Twenty AMATYC faculty members have been selected to produce the ten laboratories.Project outcomes include a laboratory, marketing, and management plan, all of which are being compiled into The Math Works Resource Book, to be published in hard copy and via the Internet. This project is offering a multitude of professional enhancement opportunities to those who develop or use the products developed through this project.

该项目旨在通过提高学生对数学探索和应用的热情，吸引更多学生进入科学、数学、工程和技术（SMET）领域的学习，解决改善两年制大学数学学习环境的需求。该项目的总体目标是为教师提供一套完整的信息和材料，以建立和开展跨学科的数学研究课程。该包包括(a)十个实验室练习，每个都有一个技术问题，一个文献技术研究练习，一个开发解决问题所需的数学工具的方法，一个模型组合和论文答辩；(b)启动营销计划；(c)启动管理计划。实现项目目标的手段包括美国数学两年制学院协会（AMATYC）、德州仪器和首都社区学院的实物支持。20名AMATYC教师被选中来制作这10个实验室。项目成果包括实验室、营销和管理计划，所有这些都将被编入《数学著作》资源手册，并将通过互联网以硬拷贝形式出版。这个项目为那些开发或使用通过这个项目开发的产品的人提供了大量的专业提升机会。
