4. CELT's Third Annual Conference on Learning
and Teaching "CRITICAL REASONING AND PROBLEM SOLVING: INQUIRY,
DISCOVERY AND PROBLEM SOLVING IN UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION".
There is a difference between education and training. It is said
that training prepares people to handle tasks that we know how to
do; whereas, education prepares people for tasks that are yet
unknown. An important aspect of education is preparing students
to confront new situations with confidence and to tackle novel
problems. The CELT Conference on "Critical Reasoning and Problem
Solving" will engage faculty from many disciplines in new
approaches to developing students' problem solving abilities.
Keynote address is by Joseph Harris, Ph.D., director of the
Center for Teaching, Learning, and Writing at Duke University,
where he is also an associate professor of English. The
conference will be held on June 22nd, 2001 in the Student
Activity Center @ SUNY Stony Brook. Conference Registration &
Continental Breakfast, 8:00am SAC Lobby For conference
information and to register please visit www.celt.sunysb.edu or
call 632-1030.

5. Study Abroad Opportunity in Germany
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is
funding ten, internationally compatible, degree courses
(Bachelor/Master) to attract foreign, highly qualified applicants
as well as internationally-minded German students. English will
be the primary language during the first semesters. Study visits
of foreign countries form an integral part of the programs as
much as intensive advice to students, well structured curricula
and competitive examinations at:
Fachhochschule Aachen: Master in Biomedical Engineering
(Artificial Organs)
Fachhochschule Coburg: Master in Financial Management
Technical University of Darmstadt: Master in Information and
Communication Engineering
University of Freiburg: Master of Social Sciences
University of Halle-Wittenberg: Master in Applied Polymer Science
University of Applied Economics and Politics in Hamburg: Master
in European Studies
Fachhochschule Karlsruhe: Master in Geomatics
Technical University of Munich/Weihenstephan: Master in
Sustainable Resource Management
Bauhaus University of Weimar: Master in Fine Arts
