Abstract
On the final day of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) Seventh National Conference, participants gathered in small groups outdoors in the beautiful southern California weather to discuss individual responses to the NSF report "Shaping the Future: New Expectations for Undergraduate Education in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology" . This report was commissioned by the Advisory Committee to the NSF Directorate for Education and Human Resources and delivered to NSF in the spring of 1996. It has succeeded in initiating an active national discussion on the nature of teaching and learning in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SME&T) and is expected to heavily influence undergraduate science education in the next decade. In December 1997, CUR contributed a white paper on faculty issues to a national forum (sponsored by Project Kaleidoscope) on the NSF report "Shaping the Future" (2). This white paper, "Elaborating on the Recommendations to and for SME&T Faculty", by CUR past-president Neil Abraham and CUR National Executive Officer Elaine Hoagland, is available on-line at the CUR Web site (http://www.cur.org). Both the NSF report and the CUR white paper were made available to CUR National Conference participants prior to the Saturday morning discussions.
