Hamline University / 3M Company Project: A Liaison for Undergraduate Science Curricular Change

在这个由化学学部特别项目办公室支持的GOALI项目中，哈姆林大学的Olaf Runquist将与3M公司合作开发课程模式，为本科生在工业领域的职业生涯做好准备，并对教师和工业合作伙伴进行交叉教育，了解他们各自的工作环境。该项目的五个目标技能领域是通信、技术科目、工业组织、团队问题解决和文化/技术/全球市场。该项目分为四个项目，由教师、学生和3M专业人员组成的跨学科团队将定义课程要求，定义学习和评估目标，设计学习模式并将其纳入科学课程，并参与两个机构之间的交流项目。在这些交换项目中，学生和教师实习生将在3M工作，3M的专业人员将参与哈姆林的机构活动。预计将有23名教师，10名学生和40多名3M专业人员参与该项目。与工业界学术联络的资助机会（GOALI）计划旨在通过支持各种产学研联系来协同产学研伙伴关系。特别感兴趣的是通过研究项目或奖学金促进学术机构和行业之间的合作互动的项目。这些项目允许教师、学生、博士后和他们的工业合作伙伴对合作机构进行长期访问，从而有助于确保智力资本和新兴技术的结合。该项目是这种交流的一个例子，通过学术机构和行业之间的对话和直接参与，将导致学生课程新模式的变化。

In this GOALI project supported by the Special Projects Office of the Chemistry Division, Olaf Runquist of Hamline University will couple Hamline University with the 3M Corporation in a program to develop curricular models to prepare undergraduate science students better for careers in industry and to cross-educate faculty and industrial partners about their respective work environments. The project's five target skill areas are communications, technical subjects, industrial organizations, team problem solving, and culture/technology/the global marketplace. The project is divided into four programs involving interdisciplinary teams of faculty, students, and 3M professionals that will define curriculum requirements, define learning and assessment objectives, design learning models and incorporate them into the science curriculum, and participate in exchange programs between the two institutions. In these exchange programs student and faculty interns would work at 3M, and 3M professionals would be involved in institutional activities at Hamline. It is expected that 23 faculty, ten students, and more than 40 3M professionals will be involved in the project.The Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) program aims to synergize industry-university partnerships by supporting a variety of industry-university linkages. Of particular interest are programs that foster collaborative interactions between academic institutions and industry through research projects or fellowships. Such programs allow faculty, students, and postdoctoral fellows and their industrial partners to make extended visits to the partner institutions, thereby helping to ensure that intellectual capital and emerging technologies are brought together. This program is an example of such an exchange that will result in changes in a new model for student curricula enhanced by dialog and direct involvement between academic institutions and industry.
