This project contributes to the national interest by increasing understanding of undergraduate mathematical sciences programs across the United States. This project will continue a cross-sectional, longitudinal survey of undergraduate mathematical sciences programs that has been done every five years since 1965. The comprehensive survey is endorsed by the Conference Board for the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS), an organization whose members are the presidents of the seventeen professional associations in the mathematical and statistical sciences. Consistent with previous CBMS surveys, the CBMS 2020 Survey will track changes in the curriculum, pedagogy, and enrollment levels by individual courses, bachelor's degrees granted, and program faculty. A comprehensive report will be developed to describe the survey results, thus providing current national benchmarks about the Nation's mathematical sciences departments. The CBMS 2020 Survey Report will be distributed in spring 2020 to science policy leaders at the national level and to all U. S. mathematical sciences programs. It will also be freely available online and in print. The findings of the survey will be promoted to the mathematical sciences community at professional meetings and in publications. Improving the Nation's undergraduate STEM efforts depends on improving undergraduate mathematics and statistics, and planning future reforms begins by knowing the present. The survey report will provide data on crucial issues within the mathematical sciences community, catalyzing other educational research.The statistical design of the stratified random sample survey and associated statistical analysis will be conducted by statisticians at Westat, Inc., who will work in consultation with a steering committee appointed by CBMS. The final report will be written by the project's senior personnel and published by the American Mathematical Society. The survey's evolving structure will contribute to educational survey research methodology. In addition, the CBMS 2020 Survey will include topics of current importance to leaders concerned with undergraduate education in the mathematical sciences. Examples of topics include: (1) evidence-based teaching practices; (2) practices in distance-learning courses; (3) instructional strategies in College Algebra, Calculus I, and Elementary Statistics; (4) instructional strategies and delivery methods in developmental mathematics; (5) assessment of mathematics and statistics programs; (5) data on gender and under-represented groups; (6) undergraduate research and internship opportunities in the mathematical sciences; and (6) full-time faculty at four-year departments who not eligible for tenure.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目通过对美国各地的本科数学科学计划的了解来促进国家利益。 该项目将继续对本科数学科学课程进行横断面的纵向调查，该计划自1965年以来每五年进行一次。综合调查得到了数学科学会议委员会（CBMS）的认可，该组织是一个成员的成员，其成员是数学和统计和统计学的十七个专业协会的总统。 与以前的CBMS调查一致，CBMS 2020调查将通过单个课程，授予学士学位和课程教师来跟踪课程，教学法和入学水平的变化。将制定一份综合报告来描述调查结果，从而为国家数学科学部门提供当前的国家基准。 CBMS 2020调查报告将于2020年春季分发给国家一级的科学政策领导者和所有美国数学科学计划。 它也将在线免费提供。调查结果将在专业会议和出版物中晋升为数学科学社区。改善国家的本科STEM努力取决于改善本科数学和统计数据，计划未来的改革始于知道现在。该调查报告将提供有关数学科学社区中关键问题的数据，促进其他教育研究。分层随机样本调查的统计设计和相关的统计分析将由Westat，Inc。的统计学家进行，后者将与CBMS任命的指导委员会协商。最终报告将由该项目的高级人员撰写，并由美国数学学会出版。调查的不断发展的结构将有助于教育调查研究方法。此外，CBMS 2020调查将包括对与数学科学本科教育有关的领导者的当前重要性的主题。主题的示例包括：（1）基于证据的教学实践； （2）在远程学习课程中的练习； （3）大学代数，微积分I和基本统计​​数据的教学策略； （4）发展数学中的教学策略和交付方法； （5）评估数学和统计计划； （5）有关性别和代表性不足群体的数据； （6）数学科学的本科研究和实习机会； （6）四年制部门的全职教职员工，这些奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
