| 520 | |a This is a report of the National Advisory Groups of Sigma Xi to explore the nature and quality of undergraduate education in science, mathematics, and engineering and to identify the significant topics and issues that should be addressed in charting a policy for undergraduate education. The topics identified are: (1) "Quality of Instruction" discussing hands-on experience, reward systems, and use of teaching assistants; (2) "Quality of Curriculum" suggesting changes of entry-level courses; (3) "Quality of the Human Environment" emphasizing personal relationships among students, faculty, and administrative personnel; (4) "Quality of the Physical Environment" discussing laboratory experience and educational technology; (5) "Accessibility and Flexibility of Curricula Essential for Student Mobility"; (6) "Attitudes and Perceptions of Students, Faculties, Administrations and the Public"; and (7) "Promises and Special Needs of Traditionally Underrepresented Groups in Science, Mathematics and Engineering." In this report, the last three are interwoven into the discussion of the first four. After discussing the potential of undergraduate education, initiatives to Congress and the National Science Foundation are described. List of participants, an entry-level course sequence, and the keynote address on profile of undergraduate are appended. (YP) | ||
