National Chautauqua Workshop Program

该肖托夸计划提供了一个年度系列的研讨会中，学者在各个科学和工程学科的前沿密集会见了几天与本科大学科学教师。 这些研讨会提供了一个机会，邀请学者沟通新的知识，概念和技术直接向大学教师的方式，这是立即有利于他们的教学。 主要目的是使本科教师在科学保持他们的教学当前和相关。 该计划是全国范围内，将立即受益于估计2,000教师在明年。 反过来，这些教师将积极影响超过350，000名本科生参加他们的课程。 这个国家计划对两年制和四年制大学的本科课程质量产生了重大影响，有助于吸引和保持科学，数学，工程和技术领域的毕业生的健康供应。 它还有助于增强所有学生充分有效参与现代社会所需的科学和技术知识和算术能力。 该方案也非常具有成本效益。

The Chautauqua Program provides an annual series of workshops in which scholars at the frontiers of various science and engineering disciplines meet intensively for several days with undergraduate college science teachers. These workshops provide an opportunity for invited scholars to communicate new knowledge, concepts, and techniques directly to college teachers in ways which are immediately beneficial to their teaching. The primary aim is to enable undergraduate teachers in the sciences to keep their teaching current and relevant. This program is national in scope and will immediately benefit an estimated 2,000 faculty during the next year. These faculty, in turn, will positively influence more than 350,000 undergraduates enrolled in their courses. This national program which has a significant impact on the quality of undergraduate programs in both two- and four-year institutions helps to attract and maintain a healthy supply of graduates in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology fields. It also contributes to empowering all students with scientific and technical literacy and numeracy required for fully effective participation in modern society. The program is also very cost effective.
