Member Organizations

It is intended that initially, four main categories of individuals will participate in the work of the Christopher Newport University Institute for Science Education (CISE). These main categories are described below. As CISE evolves, these categories may grow in number or change in nature or both.

1. The first group of participants will be members of the CNU faculty doing research in the field of Mathematics, Engineering and Science Education (the STEM disciplines). Some of these faculty members will be funded through external grants, while others will be participating in the activities of CISE without grant support.

2. The second group of participants will be CNU-affiliated scholars conducting research in Science Education. These could include post-docs, supported by grant funds, or outside researchers, supported by their own funds. They could also include teachers from the local community or region who are working with CISE on STEM-education related activities.

3. The third group of participants will be those actively engaged in delivering Science Education to any of the constituencies served by CISE.

4. The fourth group of participants will be CNU students who are working with other scholars in the institute.
