Then, Now and in the Next Decade, 1999 A Commentary on Strengthening Undergraduate Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education: Frank G. Rothman, Jeanne L. Narum
Our point of departure (then) is the mid-1980s, when education in these fields was not perceived to be serving national needs. We contrast the circumstances of that time with those of today (now) and identify steps that need to be taken in the coming decade to address urgent needs of students, science and technology, and society.
