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

在这个由化学部特别项目办公室支持的GOALI项目中，哈姆林大学的Olaf Runquist将哈姆林大学与3 M公司合作开发课程模型，以使本科理科学生更好地为工业职业做好准备，并交叉教育教师和工业合作伙伴了解各自的工作环境。 该项目的五个目标技能领域是沟通，技术科目，工业组织，团队解决问题，文化/技术/全球市场。 该项目分为四个项目，涉及教师，学生和3 M专业人员的跨学科团队，将定义课程要求，定义学习和评估目标，设计学习模型并将其纳入科学课程，并参与两个机构之间的交流计划。 在这些交流项目中，学生和教师实习生将在3 M工作，3 M专业人员将参与Hamline的机构活动。 预计将有23名教师、10名学生和40多名3 M专业人士参与该项目。GOALI计划旨在通过支持各种产学联系来促进产学合作。 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合作互动的计划。 这样的计划允许教师，学生和博士后研究员及其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融合。 该计划是这种交流的一个例子，它将导致学生课程新模式的变化，通过学术机构和行业之间的对话和直接参与来加强。

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.
