NC-FEW
NC-Few is community and hub to support the emergence of interdisciplinary educational efforts focused on food, energy, and water systems in a wide array of educational contexts. SERC is working with NC-FEW leadership in developing virtual and in-person events and evaluating the project's impact and outcomes.

E-STEM
The Environmental STEM (E-STEM) field experience reimagined the traditional undergraduate geology field course as a field and career preparation program for first- and second-year students interested in environmental careers. SERC assisted the project leadership in codifying and organizing their work on the website so that it can be usefully adopted or adapted by other faculty and programs.

Math You Need - Majors
The Math You Need for Earth Science Majors provides online, student-centered, math modules with a geoscience context aimed at strenghthening quantitative skills of majors-level geoscience students. SERC co-leads this project through web hosting, development of teaching modules, and workshop design and facilitation.

TREX - Tree Ring Expeditions
TREX provides a series of undergraduate labs that engage students in exploring tree ring science through virtual fields trips and using data from online data. SERC helped develop the structure for this website as well as implementing online data exploration tools used within the labs.

Megalopolitan Coastal Transformation Hub
SERC serves as the external evaluator for the MACH project. The "wicked problem" that climate change poses to coastal communities requires many great minds working alongside local residents, officials, and professionals to better understand the options available to decrease their risk. To assist with these types of complex decisions, Rutgers University and 12 other institutions created the Megalopolitan Coastal Transformation Hub, or MACH (pronounced 'mock'). MACH is a part of a network of research hubs, located around the country, funded through the National Science Foundation's Coastlines and People (CoPe) program. MACH's mission is to support decision making to manage climate-change-related risks through research focused at the intersection of natural and human systems. These collaborations are rooted in core principles regarding equitable community participation in and co-production of climate solutions. (Adapted from coastalhub.org)

A Civil Action - The Woburn Toxic Trial
This project developed web-based curricular materials investigating the events in Woburn, MA that inspired the movie A Civil Action. Developed from a popular mock-trial course at Ohio State University, the site consists of a series of educational modules that students work through culminating in a mock trial. SERC designed the overall structure of the website and supported the leaders in transitioning a locally taught course into a model and resource for others.

InTeGrate
InTeGrate is a STEM-Talent Expansion Program facilitating a large, diverse community of practice in learning about teaching and collaborating for a sustainable future. As the project leadership and hub, SERC organizes and leads participants in materials development, implementation programs, workshops, webinars and project leadership in support of the community of practice needs and goals.

CLEAN
The CLEAN Pathway provides a reviewed collection of classroom materials for teaching climate literacy and energy awareness for students in grades 6-16. Hallmarks of the project include the collection of educational materials, a set of pedagogic strategies for teaching these topics, and an ongoing series of professional development events for teachers and faculty. SERC provides the web platform for CLEAN as well as the tools utilized for review.

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.

Geoscience in Two-year Colleges
This website portal provides faculty and students with information about geoscience education at two-year colleges. Faculty can learn about teaching materials, find information about workforce development and geoscience careers, and learn about professional development opportunities. Students can find out about scholarships and educational opportunities. SERC facilitated connections between the contributing projects and hosts the website.
