A brief description of the program(s), including positive outcomes during the previous three years:

We have the NSF funded Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities (SENCER) program at ISU. The focus of our SENCER program is on sustainability. This is a hands-on educational approach that works on large complex civic issues as the main teaching venue for STEM courses. The students take on community issues and work through original research to work towards solutions for these important civic issues.


A brief description of the incentives that faculty members who participate in the program(s) receive:

Faculty from across the entire campus are encouraged to SENCERize their courses and can receive a $3,000 stipend to convert their courses to be experiential learning and community engagement.
