Project Kaleidoscope, Mobilizing STEM Education for a Sustainable Future,
and the Disciplinary Associations Network for Sustainability (DANS) are
joining expertise on behalf of students to:
.
increase their learning in undergraduate STEM courses, and
better prepare them for the real-world 21st century Big Questions" that
relate to real-world issues such as energy, air and water quality, and
climate change.
.
Big Questions, as defined in the Liberal Education and America's Promise
(LEAP) initiative of the AAC&U, are those of value, fundamental, and
enduring, that have "vexed human beings down through the ages." Big
Questions directly connect to sustainability, how we live our lives, the
choices we make, and our obligations to other people and to the natural
world. We are promoting undergraduate STEM courses that: 1) provide more
knowledge about real-world issues (e.g. energy, water, air quality,
climate change); 2) connect these real-world issues to the concepts of
sustainability; 3) offer students opportunities to analyze and implement
choices that can help solve societal problems so they are better able to
act on their choices both immediately and as future citizens and
professionals.

By the end of this project, we (in conjunction with our partner
societies), will develop clear mechanisms by which disciplinary societies
more broadly can:
.
Increase visibility to members of participating societies of
sustainability as an important issue for undergraduate STEM faculty to
infuse into introductory STEM courses.
.
Improve access of members of participating societies to STEM education
reform practices that increase student learning related to the Big
Questions that our students will deal with as citizens, voters, teachers,
and/or STEM professionals.
.
Promote the uptake of instructional strategies involving real-world issues
by members of participating societies, including the adoption and
adaptation of new or refined curricular materials and teaching approaches
that focus on real world issues and Big Questions as they relate to
sustainability.
.
Collaborate across participating societies on the activities that they
advance, promote, and encourage; and, in the process, learn from each
other about what works and what doesnt through project meetings.
Connect and sustain the efforts of participating societies in pursuing
common efforts and leading the way for others to join these efforts.

The Real World Guide
http://mobilizingstem.wceruw.org/activities/realWorldGuide.html
Mobilizing STEM is currently developing the Real World Guide. Elaine
Seymour (Co-PI, Mobilizing STEM) and Catherine Fry (Project Manager,
Mobilizing STEM) are mapping (a) the nationwide, virtual community of STEM
education practitioners who are improving STEM education by using
real-world relevant materials and methods, and (b) the resources they have
produced, tested, and disseminated.

Policy at the State Level
http://mobilizingstem.wceruw.org/activities/policy.html
We have identified 5 states in which interest and commitment exist at the
highest levels of government, state university systems, and other policy
organizations to forge stronger connections between undergraduate STEM
education and the Big Question of global sustainability: Maine,
California, Colorado, Maryland, and New Mexico. Given the influence of
state-level policies and regulations on public higher education, the
governments (and their agencies) in these 5 states are poised to play a
major role in the transformation of undergraduate STEM education.

STEM fields
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STEM_fields
.
STEM fields is a US Government acronym for the fields of study in the
categories of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The
acronym is in use regarding access to work visas for immigrants who are
skilled in these fields.[1] Maintaining a citizenry that is well versed in
the STEM fields is a key portion of the public education agenda of the
United States. Substantial lobbying is underway in Washington, DC to raise
awareness of STEM education issues.
