Mathematical Sciences (21)This project is addressing the challenge of incorporating real-world problems that can be developed into effective teaching tools. The tools being developed and implemented are modules that offer faculty a new, innovative platform for the instruction of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). They are being integrated into mathematics courses such as topology, graph theory, and discrete mathematics, and in courses from other STEM areas such as computer science and industrial and systems engineering. The teaching modules are being packaged independently and offer faculty in mathematics and other STEM areas the flexibility to implement modules and topics of their choice. Intellectual Merit. The teaching modules being developed and implemented highlight cutting-edge, real-world interpretations of mathematics. Students are engaged with topics on the frontiers of science, technology, and engineering. These modules focus on powerful applications arising in graph theory, topology, or discrete mathematics. Actual problems from industry are being included. Broader Impacts. The integration of the modules into an undergraduate mathematical curriculum is providing undergraduate students with a window into the industrial world. Among the benefits is that these modules expose students to the numerous occupations and companies that use mathematics on a daily basis. Technological innovations that are being integrated into this project include: analyses of airline flight routes (JetBlue Airways); fiber-optic telecommunications networks (Level 3 Communications); 3-D surface reconstruction (Microsoft Research); wireless networking (Cisco Systems); and robotic guidance systems (Department of Defense).

数学科学（21）这个项目正在解决将现实世界的问题，可以开发成有效的教学工具的挑战。正在开发和实施的工具是模块，为教师提供一个新的，创新的平台，用于科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的教学。它们被整合到数学课程中，如拓扑学，图论和离散数学，以及其他STEM领域的课程，如计算机科学和工业与系统工程。这些教学模块是独立打包的，为数学和其他STEM领域的教师提供了实施模块和他们选择的主题的灵活性。 智力优势。正在开发和实施的教学模块突出了数学的前沿，现实世界的解释。 学生参与科学，技术和工程前沿的主题。这些模块侧重于图论，拓扑学或离散数学中出现的强大应用程序。工业界的实际问题也包括在内。更广泛的影响。将这些模块整合到本科数学课程中，为本科生提供了一个进入工业世界的窗口。其中的好处是，这些模块让学生接触到每天使用数学的众多职业和公司。正在纳入这一项目的技术创新包括：航空公司飞行路线分析（捷蓝航空公司）;光纤电信网络（三级通信）;三维表面重建（微软研究院）;无线网络（思科系统公司）;和机器人导航系统（国防部）。
