An overview is provided of the status and future of science, engineering, and mathematics education in public two-year colleges. In addition, results of several national-level studies are reviewed, and 15 recommendations developed by the National Task Force for the Improvement of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Education in Community, Technical, and Junior Colleges are presented. Parts I through III of this report provide background to the study; examine the role of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges in advancing science, math, and engineering education; review study methodology; and provide an overview of the report. Part IV discusses the important role of two-year college faculty in the success of student pursuing careers in science and technology. Part V profiles students enrolled in such programs and discusses influences on their success. This section also discusses pre-college students, examining Scholastic Aptitude Test scores and noting the factors which may influence students to pursue science and mathematics in higher education. Part VI stresses the need for a curricular reform that emphasizes science literacy in two-year colleges. Part VII summarizes relevant data generated by several national studies, and data acquired from a review of state documents. This section examines student enrollments, program financing, and state support, and presents the results of a survey of two-year college coordinating offices. Parts VIII and IX present recommendations dealing with state and local college boards, local colleges, faculty and staff, and national concerns. A 26-item bibliography, and a list of task force members are included. (JMC)

Today's undergraduate students--future leaders, policymakers, teachers, and citizens, as well as scientists and engineers--will need to make important decisions based on their understanding of scientific and technological concepts. However, many undergraduates in the United States do not study science, mathematics, engineering, or technology (SME&T) for more than one year, if at all. Additionally, many of the SME&T courses that students take are focused on one discipline and often do not give students an understanding about how disciplines are interconnected or relevant to students' lives and society. To address these issues, the National Research Council convened a series of symposia and forums of representatives from SME&T educational and industrial communities. Those discussions contributed to this book, which provides six vision statements and recommendations for how to improve SME&T education for all undergraduates. The book addresses pre-college preparation for students in SME&T and the joint roles and responsibilities of faculty and administrators in arts and sciences and in schools of education to better educate teachers of K-12 mathematics, science, and technology. It suggests how colleges can improve and evaluate lower-division undergraduate courses for all students, strengthen institutional infrastructures to encourage quality teaching, and better prepare graduate students who will become future SME&T faculty.

Offering a broad, up-to-date reference to the long history and cultural legacy of education in the American South, this timely volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture surveys educational developments, practices, institutions, and politics from the colonial era to the present. With over 130 articles, this book covers key topics in education, including academic freedom; the effects of urbanization on segregation, desegregation, and resegregation; African American and women's education; and illiteracy. These entries, as well as articles on prominent educators, such as Booker T. Washington and C. Vann Woodward, and major southern universities, colleges, and trade schools, provide an essential context for understanding the debates and battles that remain deeply imbedded in southern education. Framed by Clarence Mohr's historically rich introductory overview, the essays in this volume comprise a greatly expanded and thoroughly updated survey of the shifting southern education landscape and its development over the span of four centuries.

Community colleges play an important role in starting students on the road to engineering careers, but students often face obstacles in transferring to four-year educational institutions to continue their education. Enhancing the Community College Pathway to Engineering Careers, a new book from the National Academy of Engineering and the National Research Council, discusses ways to improve the transfer experience for students at community colleges and offers strategies to enhance partnerships between those colleges and four-year engineering schools to help students transfer more smoothly. In particular, the book focuses on challenges and opportunities for improving transfer between community colleges and four-year educational institutions, recruitment and retention of students interested in engineering, the curricular content and quality of engineering programs, opportunities for community colleges to increase diversity in the engineering workforce, and a review of sources of information on community college and transfer students. It includes a number of current policies, practices, and programs involving community collegeâ€"four-year institution partnerships.
