Network of STEM Education Centers
NSEC is an organization of campus-based centers and offices that serve as catalysts for educational transformation in STEM. The network allows center leadership, university and college administrators, and state and national policymakers to have a central hub for their communal efforts. SERC works with NSEC to develop a number of resources that can assist STEM Education Centers in their missions and development. The STEM Ed Center Toolkit, Research Action Clusters, Center Profiles, as well as a number of virtual and in person events such as the Transforming Institutions conferences.

PENGUIN
PENGUIN modules provide a computational framework to allow students to work actively with polar research and data through conduct guided inquiry. Working through a Jupyter Notebook or Excel Sheet, students analyze polar research and data: creating figures, performing calculations, asking questions, and thinking critically about what the data shows. The modules are designed for courses in Economics, Computer Science, Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and Environmental Science Tools and Methods, from intro to advanced. SERC provided website support and hosting as well as support for the project's webinars.

National Institute for Faculty Equity
Minorities and women, minority women in particular, are underrepresented in academia, even more so in the STEM disciplines: science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Members of these underrepresented groups represent an untapped resource. The National Institute for Faculty Equity seeks to address this persistent problem, in part by institutionalizing the professional development and career success of women and minorities in STEM. This website offers resources for underrepresented faculty in engineering, including presentations and from the Minority Faculty Development workshops and the Cross-Disciplinary Initiative for Minority Women Faculty conference. SERC hosts the project's materials as well as provided a web platform for project personnel to use for annual events.
