SURE:
The Summer Undergraduate Research Experience offers a 10-week residential
research experience. Students present their research in a symposium
at the end of the program. The program has a research ethics training
component.
PREP:
This residential program for outstanding sophomores and juniors
in Atlanta-area high schools targets students who have completed
advanced mathematics and science coursework. Participants are nominated
by their academic counselors and spend 6 weeks on the Emory campus
honing critical thinking skills and studying biology, chemistry
and physics.
Summer Institute:
First-year underrepresented minority students with an interest in
science are invited to participate in this week-long program. Participants
receive an in-depth introduction to our campus and facilities, as
well as advice on how to succeed in their intended science majors.
Activities include pre-tests that help student determine how prepared
they are for introductory coursework and to evaluate their time
management skills.
Hughes Scholars:
During their first year, Summer Institute students participate
in weekly meetings that are also open to the Emory community. Guest
speakers and science career orientation resources are featured.
GIFT:
The Georgia Intern-Fellowships for Teachers program is based at
Georgia Tech, and our Howard Hughes Medical Institute grant supports
the participation of ~10 teachers, who work with mentors at Emory
research laboratories. Each teacher receives funds to purchase materials
and equipment to translate the GIFT summer experience into an educational
project for his or her classroom.
PRISM:
Problems and Research to Integrate Science and Mathematics is a
graduate fellowship program that funds 10 students annually to work
with middle and high school teachers. The collaborative teams are
oriented to problem-based and investigative case-based learning
pedagogy and then work together to develop and implement original
curricula based on these methodologies.
CFNM: ECCSE has partnered with Clark Atlanta University's NSF CREST Center for Functional
Nanoscale Materials (CFNM) to offer Teacher Fellowships in nanoscience research and
problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum development. Four high school teachers and one community
college instructor were recruited to participate in the ECCSE's PRISM program and in guided
research experiences in CFNM nanoscience labs, and ultimately to translate the nanoscience research
into problem-based learning curriculum materials.
Workshops: The CSE is a resource for instructors
interested in curriculum development. Each year we host workshops
on hands-on learning for high school and college instructors.
