Bridging to STEM Excellence
BTSE works to accelerate change in higher education and teacher preparation by developing 1) a bridge between institutional efforts to improve instruction and national initiatives offering programmatic support and 2) a community of practice increasing the interactions among and reach of the consortium organizations. SERC serves both in the leadership and the backbone for this network.

Developing a Next Generation Concept Inventory (NGCI)
This project developed a tool for assessing environmental students' foundational knowledge and their ability to grasp complex systems-level concepts, particularly as it relates to Food-Energy-Water (FEW) Nexus systems. Specifically, they applied an established machine learning method to create a Next Generation Concept Inventory(NGCI) to Help Environmental Programs Evaluate Student Knowledge of Complex FEW Systems. SERC served as the external evaluator, using interviews and artifact analysis to conduct a process and summative evaluation.
