FOCUS AREA 01.
MATHEMATICS & SCIENCE EDUCATION

Singapore Adaptation of Algebra Text
CRDG and Ngee Ann Polytechnic Institute in Singapore are collaborating to create an introductory engineering mathematics course for Ngee Ann students based on the CRDG text Algebra I: A Process Approach. The partnership is believed to be the first of its kind under the U.S. Department of Education and Singapore government memorandum of understanding in which the two countries agreed to cooperate to improve mathematics and science education.

CRDG mathematics educators are leading a team of curriculum developers to produce student and instructor materials, professional development components, and a technology-based tutorial and testing system. The Singapore group will contribute technology materials to be used for tutorials and online assessments. The final product, for postsecondary engineering students, will be available in summer 2004.
