Science Education in the 21st Century: Advantages, Pitfalls and Future Trends
An international symposium sponsored by the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science
Friday, March 12, 2010 - Symposium
Saturday, March 13 - Alumni General Assembly
Lory Student Center Colorado State University Fort Collins
As ever increasing breakthroughs in technological advancement lead to greater discovery, and the world becomes even more interconnected, science educators and students are faced with greater challenges. In recent years this has led to an emphasis on undergraduate and graduate curricula that prepare students to work in international and multidisciplinary environments. To this end many institutions have already established formalized international undergraduate and graduate programs such as Georgia Tech-Lorraine, France (GTL) which offers year-round undergraduate, Masters and PhD and the National University of Singapore MIT Alliance. Such programs demonstrate that training our future scientists to be competitive in a global environment and to operate across cultural and disciplinary boundaries will be essential for continued discovery and economic development. This one day symposium sponsored by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in collaboration with Colorado State University, focuses on science education and training in Japan and United States.
