Mathematical Sciences: Modern Interdisciplinary University Statistics Education

美国数学科学委员会（BMS）、国家研究委员会（NRC）将通过其应用与理论统计委员会（CATS）召开两次为期1天半的研讨会，主题为“现代跨学科大学统计教育”，一次在华盛顿特区的国家科学院举行，另一次在欧文的贝克曼中心举行。这些专题讨论会的讨论主题将是需要对统计教育进行哪些改革，以：(1)在本科高年级、研究生和博士后统计项目中纳入跨学科培训；(2)更新本科高年级和研究生统计课程；(3)改善统计研究生和博士后的学徒培养，并适当奖励教师导师。根据两次专题讨论会的报告和讨论，将在第二次专题讨论会之后出版和散发。

The Board on Mathematical Sciences (BMS), National Research Council (NRC) through its Committee on Applied and Theoretical Statistics (CATS) will convene two 1-1/2 day symposia on the topic Modern Interdisciplinary University Statistics Education, one at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC, and one at the Beckman Center in Irvine, CA. The topics of discussion at these symposia will be what changes in statistics education are needed to: (1) incorporate interdisciplinary training into upper-undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral statistics programs, (2) bring upper-undergraduate and graduate statistics curricula up to date, and (3) improve apprenticing of statistics graduate and postdoctoral students and appropriately reward faculty mentors. Proceedings based upon the presentations and discussions at both symposia will be produced and disseminated after the second symposium.
