Rutgers University Center for Mathematics, Science, & Computer Education
Organization Overview
Booth 423 - In 1984, Rutgers University established the Center for Mathematics, Science, and Computer Education. Our mission is to improve mathematics, science, and computer education programs in New Jersey and across the nation.
The Center fosters collaboration among educators, business leaders, practitioners, and researchers. Their goal is to enhance the learning and teaching of mathematics and science and to show how technology can contribute to these goals. Rutgers partners with other colleges, universities, industry, and local school systems. Each partner contributes and reaps significant benefits from the collaborative relationship. School systems support their teachers' efforts throughout the academic year. Companies encourage their scientists to contribute technical expertise to Center-sponsored activities. The University contributes faculty expertise to the Center. School districts gain well-trained highly motivated practitioners and become models to other districts. Corporations and their scientists enjoy visibility, recognition, and good will for their contributions. The University, in turn, fulfills its public outreach and research mission.
Teachers and students from two-thirds of NJ school districts have participated in the Centers projects for over a decade. The leadership cadre inspired by these programs improves the teaching and learning of mathematics, science, and technology statewide and across the United State
