Developing Technology In Upward Bound Mathematics & Science Curriculum

This paper will examine the incorporation of technology into the curriculum for New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Upward Bound Mathematics & Science Program (UBMS). UBMS provides high school participants with the opportunity to spend a fraction of their summer and academic school year studying in state-ofthe-art science, mathematics, computer laboratories and smart classrooms. The program goal is to enhance the participants' academic ability and interest in technology by providing hands-on opportunities to work on research projects with university faculty and mentors.
