AAU STEM Network Mini-Grant Mission
New York University has received a grant in Spring 2019 from the Association of American Universities (AAU), the organization representing the foremost research universities in the U.S., to explore new ways to improve teaching and student engagement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses. NYU’s proposal – Excellence in Undergraduate Laboratory Sciences Instruction by Design – was one of only 12 university proposals to receive an AAU STEM Network Mini-Grant. This website summarizes grant activities and resources for the broader community interested in advancing STEM education. The key grant areas include:
- Innovation and assessment in the Large Introductory Lecture;
- Lab Science Pedagogy for majors vs. non-majors (including pre-health);
- Diversity support in STEM; and
- Space-related infrastructure and innovations.

Additionally, as an increasing number of CAS faculty and departments are interested in exploring technology-enhanced curricula, the Committee will play a vital advocacy role. The Committee will advise on diverse use cases and models from around the College that embody best practices in TEE, as well as develop outreach strategies that will promote the targeted use of technology.
