Mathematicians from New Mexico State University will continue to                develop and implement a plan using student research projects in a broad         range of calculus courses.                                                                                                                                      During the first two years NMSU will use three individual two-week              projects instead of hour exams in thirty-five calculus sections.  New           Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, University of Texas at El            Paso and Western New Mexico University will each teach three sections           using the student research projects mode.  Almost one-third of the              students at NMSU and a half of the students at UTEP are minorities.                                                                                             A collection of four hundred problems, many annotated with information          on their success in the classroom will be compiled.  These projects             require that students think broadly and deeply, identifying background          material and synthesizing an approach.  Scientists, engineers and               economists will help design projects which demonstrate the mathematical         underpinnings of solutions to applied problems.                                                                                                                 There will be faculty workshops, training of teaching graduate                  assistants, Advisory Committee meetings and an extensive evaluation.            The latter includes evaluating long term intellectual growth of                 students.                                                                                                                                                       NMSU cost sharing for three years is $153,466, which is approximately           40% of the cost of the project.
