The Stevens Center for Improved Engineering and Science Education (CIESE) provides professional development and technical expertise to schools by promoting improved teaching and learning in science and mathematics through the integration of technology into the curriculum. CIESE seeks to empower teachers to utilize computer-based technological resources, including the Internet, mathematics software, CD-ROMs, and computer-based laboratory systems. CIESE believes that technology can be a powerful catalyst in improving K-12 education by providing students with enriched opportunities to experience and understand scientific and mathematical concepts, increase problem-solving and critical thinking abilities, and participate in authentic, interdisciplinary projects. This site links to the many classroom projects, national and regional programs and professional development workshops offered or sponsored by CIESE. Projects focus on utilization of realtime data available from the Internet, and collaborative projects that utilize the Internet's potential to reach peers and experts around the world. Each project has links to the National Science Standards and NCTM math standards it supports.
