Report on the National Science Foundation Disciplinary Workshops on Undergraduate Education. Recommendations of the Disciplinary Taskforces Concerning Critical Issues in the U.S. Undergraduate Education in the Sciences, Mathematics and Engineering.
National Science Foundation, Washington, DC. Directorate for Science and Engineering Education.
In 1988, the Office for Undergraduate Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Education (USEME) convened a series of disciplinary workshops designed to obtain a better understanding of the conditions and trends in undergraduate education in the United States in seven critical areas: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Geosciences, Mathematics, and Physics. Each workshop was comprised of about 20 leaders from the appropriate disciplines in academia and industry. This report describes the findings of these workshops and their recommendations concerning actions that should be taken to improve undergraduate education in the United States. An executive summary and individual reports are included. Each individual report provides a list of participants, a summary, background information, and recommendations. (CW)
