The Center for Mathematics, Science, Technology, and Pre-Engineering
The Center for Mathematics, Science, Technology, and Pre-Engineering at The College of New Jersey brings together a multidisciplinary team of educators, researchers, and practitioners. Several professors from the Schools of Science, Education and Engineering, building upon years of separately developed, but similar approaches, use inquiry and design as the major pedagogical approach for students from kindergarten through the 12th grade. The Center promotes inquiry and design-based learning to engage learners in the understanding and application of mathematical, scientific and engineering concepts and principles. It functions as a school service center, a demonstrational and professional development center for teachers, a product development center, and a community resource.
