- Summary:
- Partnerships among industry, academic, and pre-college educational institutions are playing an important role in promoting science education to the nation's students. This collection of case studies examines how such partnerships work and the success they achieve. Both large and small partnerships are examined, including industry-funded university programs designed to attract talented students, Ohio's Thomas Edison Program which promotes technological innovation through university-industry linkages, the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable, and Du Pont's Honor Workshop for high school science teachers. This book will serve as a valuable "how-to" for anyone considering developing a partnership program.
