Program Goals:
- To increase the exposure of community college Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematic (STEM) majors to laboratory research equipment, methodologies and current research.
- To enhance access to higher math classes by increasing student placement scores through utilizing an intense one-week "Math Jam" model. In addition, student success and retention in higher level course will be increased by student preparation using Math, Chemistry and Physics Jams.
- To improve the rate of graduation and transfer among underserved populations in STEM fields by creating a pipeline to appropriate student support programs.
Math App SURGE Objective:
Design and build a useful single page web application (SPA) that solves some mathematical problem using freely available open source solutions. The project will attempt to emulate the full software development experience from idea generation, design considerations, reading documentation, implementation and testing, to publishing using a unique domain name. Students will be encouraged to produce an open and free resource that is available to a user base that extends beyond COS.
