| Abstract |
|
In a technology-based society, effective science education is important,
not only for training a qualified workforce, but also for producing
informed citizens capable of understanding the issues and problems facing
stimulating interest and deveoping the skills of budding scientists and
technicians. The Ambassador Program described in this article provides a
mechanism for industrial/academic interaction to take place. The Ambassador
Program brings industrial scientists and technicians into high school and
two-year college classrooms to expose both students and teachers to issues
faced in the industrial workplace and laboratory. The multiphase model
program integrates a classroom seminar, a tour of an industrial facility,
and a laboratory experience based on industrial technology. This article
describes the pilot PACT Ambassador program that was held in partnership
with Quantum Chemical Corporation, William Mason High School, and Miami
University Middletown.
