Scientific paper

To stimulate interest in Space Science among minority students in the City University of New York (CUNY) system, a set of interdisciplinary courses have been developed as part of a CUNY-wide major and area specific minors. These courses range in level from freshman introductory to advanced research . An interdisciplinary group of faculty in astrophysics, computer science, chemistry, geology, and physics from several senior and community colleges of the CUNY have collaborated with faculty at the Hayden Planetarium of the AMNH to create courses that have integrated research, collaborative learning, and inclusion of datasets from NASA missions. These courses also serve to prepare students for undergraduate research experiences at NASA centers. The courses are Introduction to Space Science, Space Science I and II, Computer Applications for Space and Earth Science, and Planetology. This presentation describes the courses, applicable science education research, and preliminary evaluations based on student and faculty surveys. [Curriculum development for the Space Science courses is supported by NASA Space Science/Minority Initiative NAG5-10142 and NASA MU-SPIN NCC5-530.]
