Teachers may be especially interested in the FLC MRC Research Experience for Teachers program. Science Discovery Teacher Development, Classes, Camps and Kits This summer Michael Dubson of Physics will present a one-day workshop for teachers. Using a written curriculum and videotapes, Dubson will illustrate convection and the physics of thermodynamics including heat, density, buoyancy, and convection in the Earth's systems. Middle school teachers are especially encouraged to attend. The workshop will be held June 25, 2002. For more information contact Karen Hyde Edgerly, 303-735-6566. Faculty Teaching Excellence Program Faculty Teaching Excellence Program The University of Colorado at Boulder's faculty members have been served by the Faculty Teaching Excellence Program (FTEP) since 1986. The program operates as a part of the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Phil DiStefano.

Pre-Collegiate Development Program Pre-Collegiate Development Program The Pre-Collegiate Development Program at the University of Colorado at Boulder is an institutionally-funded academic enhancement program designed to motivate educationally and/or economically disadvantaged high school youth to complete high school, graduate and successfully matriculate to a choice postsecondary institution. The primary goal of the Program is to adequately prepare educationally and/or economically disadvantaged students for a professional career. In pursuit of this goal, the Pre-Collegiate Development Program will render all possible assistance to the student in an attempt to assist the student in accomplishing the afore-mentioned goals. CU Upward Bound Math and Science Center CU Upward Bound Math and Science Center The CU Upward Bound Math and Science Center is a six-week summer academic program designed to provide the Native American high school students a university experience, focusing on math and science. The program targets students who are currently freshmen, sophomores or juniors in high school. If students successfully complete the first year they are encouraged to return for a second year. All CUUBMSC students are tracked for six years. High School Honors Institute High School Honors Institute The High School Honors Institute is an intensive 4 day campus residential program that introduces engineering to students with strong academic records who are interested in math and science. High school juniors and seniors have an opportunity to experience college life as an engineering student by attending classes of two engineering majors, participating in curricular and extra-curricular activities, and exploring career opportunities. Engineering Days Engineering Days Summer Bridge Program Summer Bridge Program The Summer Bridge Program began in 1991 as a two-week program with 12 students, with the objective of providing incoming MEP freshmen with a "jump-start" into their first-year math and science classes. The program has grown into a five-week, in-residence, intensive academic bridge experience, now commonly referred to as an "academic boot camp" that places participating freshmen at an advantage to other freshmen due to the academic and social familiarity gained through the Bridge program experience.
