All Education / Curricular Innovation Projects

To educate students, staff, faculty, and the local community about the importance of energy conservation, energy efficiency, and establish real energy savings for the campus. Learn more

To model the processes used for scheduling classes and making sure students are on track to receiving their degrees. Analyze how current information systems (or "silos") are used and accessed throughout the processes. Create a standardized XML model of the system. Implement a prototype showing how the XML system can extend the current legacy systems. Propose and implement additional services that can be implemented using the prototype. Learn more

As part of our pilot program, we are installing a solar charging system for night-time lighting at an orphanage near Iquitos, Peru in August 2009. We will supplement the project with lessons on solar energy, including solar ovens and teaching the older students to build their own solar-powered radios. In addition, we will teach students the basics of disease transmission and hygiene by showing them their environment under a microscope and using various interactive games to show how disease can spread. Our goal is to demonstrate the benefits of science to an undereducated at-risk population. More information can be found at the Future Scientist Projects page. Learn more
