  2. College of Science Undergraduate Curriculum DESIRED OUTCOMES FOR A COLLEGE OF SCIENCE EDUCATION • The College of Science is committed to providing a progressive education that prepares students for their future. A review, assessment, and pilot program of our proposed curriculum has resulted in a curriculum reform initiative.The desired outcomes of the proposed curriculum initiative will produce future scientists, educators, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, governmental leaders, and informed citizens with skills necessary to prepare them for life in our changing world; and provide world-wide recognition of our innovative programs IN • "We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for humanity." Marie Curie (1867 - 1934) , Lecture at Vassar College , May 14, 1921

  3. Demonstrated depth in majorprincipal outcome: CoSstudents will receive the best education in their major . • Ability to think and function as a scientistCoS students will develop critical thinking and analytical abilities from their major and by completing a two-course sequence and related laboratory experiences in a science outside of their major in addition to required Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science courses.. • Ability to communicate well, both orally and in writingCoSstudents will be proficient in technical writing and technical presenting (describing technical information clearly and logically, making strong and persuasive arguments). • Ability to collaborate as part of a teamCoSstudents will learn the concepts involved in Teambuilding and Collaboration, such as leadership, developing shared goals, and utilizing strengths of team members. These foundations will allow students to enter collaborative situations, such as lab groups and study sections, fully prepared to maximize the value of their educational experiences as well as develop positive working relationships with their fellow students. These foundations and experiences can be satisfied by course work, lab courses, research experiences, or internships. • Ability to function in a multidisciplinary settingCoS students will have the experience of examining and solving a problem using the tools, techniques, and practices from more than one discipline. • Demonstrated breadth of knowledge and cultural appreciationCoS students will have an understanding of at least one other culture in addition to their own .
