Faculty members interested in learn­
ing about the National Science
Foundation's new Course, Curriculum,
and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI)
program are invited to attend a workshop
from noon to 1 pm today (Sept. 23) in
the Staff Dining Room.
The new program, which provides
grants from $5,000 to $500,000, seeks to
improve the quality of undergraduate
science, mathematics, engineering and
technology (SMET) courses, curricula,
and laboratories. It encompasses SMET
education for all students and targets
activities affecting the learning environ­
ment, content and educational practices.
The program has three major tracks :
• Educational Materials Development
• Adaptation and Implementation
• National Dissemination.
The CCLI program incorporates most
features of the former Course and Cur­
riculum Development and Instrumenta­
tion and Laboratory Improvement
programs, including the option to submit
instrumentation-only or equipment-only
proposals. CCLI also gives increased
priority to improving undergraduate edu­
cation through adaptation and implemen­
tation of previously developed materials
and educational practices.
The deadline to submit proposals is
Monday, Nov. 16.
Iced tea and cookies wi ll be provided
at the workshop, sponsored by the Grants
Development Office. Those interested in
attending or submitting a program pro­
posal are asked to call ext. 6-2982. D
