The Science and Social Issues Related to Global Environmental Change: Honors Colloquim

根据这笔赠款，罗德岛大学将通过1991年春季学期的荣誉讨论会机制，在与全球环境变化的科学和社会科学方面有关的教育宣传方面开展第一次重大倡议。荣誉座谈会是一种公共宣传的结合，形式是周三晚上的公开讲座，以及为荣誉学院一年级和二年级的学生开设的补充本科课程。罗德岛大学将在1991年春天邀请世界知名的教育家和科学家来到校园，参加周三晚上的讲座。他们将以附加课程和为远程教育市场开发新课程的形式，为长期教育前景拍摄晚上的讲座。受邀的演讲者发言将与课程材料和读物一起出版，并通过若干网络和机制提供给其他感兴趣的教育机构和公共团体。海洋技术学会将通过《海洋技术学会杂志》的一期特刊制作专题讨论会卷。这项活动之所以重要，是因为它旨在增加进入环境科学领域的合格学生人数。

Under this grant, the University of Rhode Island will carry out its first, in a series, major initiatives in educational outreach related to the science and social science aspects of global environmental change through the mechanism of an Honor's Colloquium for the spring semester 1991. The Honor's Colloquium is a combination of public outreach, in the form of Wednesday evening public lectures and a complementary undergraduate course for freshman and sophomore Honor's students. The University of Rhode Island will bring world-renown educators and scientists to the campus during the spring 1991 for the Wednesday evening lectures. They will videotape the evening lectures for long-term educational prospects in the form of additional-to-offered- courses and the development of a new course for the distance- learning market. The invited speaker presentations will be published and available along with curriculum materials and readings to other interested educational institutions and public groups through a number of networks and mechanisms. A Colloquium volume will be produced through the Marine Technology Society through a special issue of the Marine Technology Society Journal. This activity is important because it seeks to increase the pool of qualified students entering the environmental sciences.
