CENTC investigator Alan Goldman (Rutgers University) recently co-created a new "signature" course designed to introduce science to non-science majors at Rutgers. The course is focused on Energy and Climate and is co-taught by four Rutgers professors from the Departments of Marine, Earth, and Planetary Sciences, Chemistry, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Physics. The course was reported on by the New Jersey newspaper The Star-Ledger: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/11/rutgers_university_introduces.htmlAlan Goldman's participation in the development of the course is largely an outgrowth of his participation in CENTC's outreach program to high schools (http://depts.washington.edu/centc/education_hsvisits.htm) as well as attempts as a CENTC PI to be more engaged in outreach.
