The health of science and engineering tomorrow depends on improved mathematics and science preparation and problem solving skills of our students today. One cannot expect world-class learning of science, mathematics, and problem solving techniques by students if U.S. teachers lack the confidence, enthusiasm, and knowledge to deliver world-class instruction 1 . One way to improve K-12 science education is to improve current knowledge and preparation of the future teachers themselves. This project moves toward that end.
