Biomanufacturing Instructors are Needed to Join a Community College Working Group for a National NSF ATE Project
Lisa Seidman, PhD, Madison College
The proposed National Science Foundation project, Needed Math for a Workforce in Transition (NMWT), is seeking innovative community college faculty. If funded, this project will bring together teams of math and technical program educators with local industry professionals to co-create classroom-ready, real-world instructional materials that integrate mathematics into authentic manufacturing workplace challenges. Faculty in biomanufacturing programs are particularly needed.
Project Launch: National Symposium
Kick off your involvement at a high-impact Symposium featuring:
- Keynotes from top economists and manufacturing executives
- Insights from research on education, technology, and workforce trends
- Best practices from prior NSF projects
Faculty Role:
Throughout the 3-year project, teams will:
- Develop 2 contextualized math activities per year for math and technical courses
- Pilot test and refine these lessons with students
- Distribute student surveys and provide feedback to the project team
- Attend 4 virtual meetings per year
- Promote the use of scenarios within your department or college
- Receive annual stipends
