Research & Project Coordinator

http://www.keypress.com/x22270.xml

The Research and Project Coordinator position relates to two new NSF-funded projects at Key:

Data Games: a three-year project expanding research in students' understanding of data modeling and their ability to learn mathematical content embedded in data-rich contexts, i.e., games embedded in TinkerPlots and Fathom.

Dynamic Number: Using The Geometer's Sketchpad as a starting point, KCP Technologies is developing new software tools to deepen students' conceptions of integers, fractions, decimals, real numbers, and early algebra in grades 2-8 mathematics. These tools are accompanied by 40 supporting classroom activities as well as a six-week online professional development course for teachers.

PUMAS is a collection of brief examples, written primarily by scientists, engineers, and other content experts, showing how math and science topics taught in K-12 classes can be used in interesting settings, including every-day life. The project's goal is to capture the flavor of the vast experience that working scientists have with interesting and practical uses of math and science.

• Examples: each is reviewed by a minimum of one teacher and one scientist
• Contributors: how to create an example
• Reviewers: how to review an example
• Benchmarks: help finding benchmarks for your example
• Examples Wanted: here teachers can make requests and contributors can find ideas
• Help: contacts and assistance using the site

TryEngineering.org is a resource for students (ages 8-18), parents, teachers and school counselors. This is a portal about engineering and engineering careers, designed to help young people understand better what engineering means, and how an engineering career can be part of their future.

• descriptions of the lifestyles and experiences of engineers, and of the different disciplines within engineering
• hands-on experiments and activities
• referrals to summer programs and internship opportunities
• search tools for schools that offer engineering programs
• tips on course selection, applying to university programs and financial aid
• questions answered by engineering students in universities and practicing engineers
• teaching resources
• information about school accreditation
• description of plans, organizations, and programs helpful in planning and preparing students to develop a future career in engineering

TryEngineering.org is a joint effort between IEEE, IBM and the New York Hall of Science.
