Rationale

    As technology influences all aspects of our society from health and the environment to the nation's workforce and national defense, so vital is the mathematics and science education for America's youth. As a response to this vital need, the Center for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Education (CEMSE) at Morgan State University was established in 1988.

The goals of the CEMSE include:

• Increasing the quality and quantity of mathematics and science teachers in the state of Maryland;
• Strengthening the content and pedagogy of mathematics and science teaching at elementary, middle and high school levels;
• Increasing the effective use of educational technology at all levels of instruction;
• Encouraging students to pursue science, mathematics and engineering careers;
• Encouraging business, industry and funding agencies to support public and private schools and higher education institutions in mathematics and science education; and
• Providing all students and educators access to state of the art technological resources.
