PROYECTOS EN DESARROLLO/PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT:

El Proyecto Juarez Lincoln Marti tiene, como uno de sus objetivos principales, el incentivar el desarrollo de proyectos conjuntos iberoamericanos, de beneficio general. En particular, estamos impulsando los tres siguientes proyectos:

PROYECTO PARA AYUDAR A MEJORAR LA EDUCACION ESTADISTICA APLICADA Y LA FUNCION DEL MAESTRO. A partir de Octubre del 2011, comenzamos a trabajar en la oficina de Investigacion de la Facultad (Sponsored Research) de SUNY Institute of Technology. Desde alli, tendremos mayores posibilidadeds de ayudar a las instituciones que necesiten ayuda, con mayor frecuencia, sobre temas de pedagogia, de evaluacion de alumnos y de creacion de programas que atraigan mas estudiantes a carreras de ciencias e ingenieria.

PROYECTO PARA DESARROLLAR PUBLICACIONES DE ESTADISTICA APLICADA EN ESPANOL. RCE, la Revista Colombiana de Estadistica, publicara, en el verano de 2011, un numero especial sobre este tema. Editorial. La revista de IASI, tambien ha sacado recientemente un numero completo de articulos en Espanol. Una lista con ejemplos de tales topicos, es sugerida por el Indice de la revista Quality Engineering.

PROYECTO PARA ORGANIZAR UN INSTITUTO PASI/NSF SOBRE MODELACION ESTADISTICA DE PROBLEMAS ECOLOGICOS. Originalmente se organizo un grupo, que comenzo trabajos exploratorios. Mas se reconocio que no existen todavia las condiciones para lanzarlos, y hay que comenzar por crearlas. Estas incluyen la creacion de mas publicaciones de estadistica aplicada, que incentiven un mayor numero de profesionales y alumnos interesados en usar la estadistica para resolver problemas.

PROYECTO PARA ORGANIZAR INSTITUTOS DE ESTADISTICA APLICADA INDUSTRIA-UNIVERSIDAD para contribuir al desarrollo economico de la region. Tenemos experiencia en el estudio de tales problemas, habiendo sometido propuestas al NSF y TDO, organizaciones que han acogido con interes esta idea, asi como a organizaciones profesionales. Estamos en disposicion de compartir nuestras experiencias con aquellas instituciones que lo soliciten.

Incluimos a continuacion una lista de Boletines Electronicos enviados desde: Febrero de 2011;

LISTA DE DONACIONES DE LIBROS/BOOK DONATION LIST

The JLM Project has advertised for book donations in the Amstat News, the monthly magazine of the American Statistical Association. A number of colleague statisticians have generously offered to Donate books to Latin American Institutions. The complete list of donors and the material they are offering is included in the attached Book Donors List .

List of Workshops Taught/Lista de Talleres Impartidos

The JLM Project has offered many workshops and courses in the following areas: (1) new technology Infusion and its Applications ; (2) pedagogical and methodological innovations in mathematics and science education ; (3) Simulation modeling, as educational , or (4) simulation as an Operations Research analysis tool; (4) reliability modeling and analysis ; (5) design of experiments DOE ; (6) deterministic and/or stochastic Operations Research methods ; (7) probability and statistics ; (8) industrial statistics applications ; (9) industrial quality and productivity engineering and (10) organization of academic statistical consulting institutions . The teaching experiences of the Project Director are summarized in a Paper presented at Universidad Veracruzana, Jalapa, Ver, MX, (in Spanish) during an Education Colloquium ; (11) Workshop on Course Evaluation Strategies presented at ESPOL, Guayaquil, Ecuador (in Spanish) Rubrics, and (12) Data Analysis using Minitab statistical software; and (13) UV International Workshop on Statistical Education and its Methods.

The above courses are based in the 30 years of research, teaching, consulting and practical experiences of the Project Director, and his extensive writings in applied industrial statistics. The pedagody used and course objectives are discussed in ISI-2001 .

Solidarity/Solidaridad

Teaching in different provincial cities, we confirmed the needs of some of the local population. The JLM Project then included additional activities such as the collection of toys, clothes and school materials for Latin American children, among LaFayette High School students and others in our Headquarters in Syracuse NY. As a result, the JLM Project has provided clothing after the Puebla earthquate in 2000 and Veracruz floodings of 2002; toys, clothes, and school supplies for children with AIDS in the Dominican Republic, as well as for Quechua children in Andean schools in Cayambe, Ecuador, and in the Guerrero Sierra, in Mexico, among other places.

JLM Project International Scope/Desarrollo Internacional

The Juarez Lincoln Marti Project concentrated initially, on Mexico. However, the Project Director has been involved in many International Education activities and with several working groups in Iberoamerica. Starting in 1995, Romeu taught, various workshops on the use of statistics and simulation software, learning groups, technology infusion and contextual projects in statistical education, at two campuses of the University of Galicia, and at two of the University of the Basque Country. In addition, other Iberoamerican countries have been served by the Project, including Venezuela, the Dominican Republic and Ecuador.

In 1997, the Project started a faculty development program at Romulo Gallegos University, UNERG , in the Orinoco plains, Venezuela, where it developed an innovative faculty apprenticeship model. The UNERG project was sponsored by Fundayacucho, the Venezuelan government educational agency, as well as by the World Bank.

Project Philosophy and Goals/Filosofia y Objetivos

The Juarez-Lincoln-Marti Project feels a great pride for its long history of providing professional and academic development in Iberoamerica. It strives to build a better US-Ibero American understanding and to help forge stronger working relations between Ibero American and North American higher education, academic, and research communities, as well as between its peoples. With this objective, The Project has instituted an Annual Award, to recognize an Iberoamerican educator for his or her work in our midst.

The JLM Project also strives to promote and to help develop Ibero American International Professionals that may help consolidate such stronger links between peoples of different nations and cultures, especially within our own Region. Please help us improve our work by filling and emailing us the following Survey.

The reasons for all these efforts are described in a series of Spanish and English language newspaper articles, written during our frequent stages abroad, and published in journals of the US, Mexico and Spain.

Project Origins/Inicios del Proyecto

The Juarez-Lincoln-Marti Project was created in 1994, as the SUNY-Mexico Exchange Project. Under this first name it functioned between 1994 and 1998 when its Director, Dr. Jorge Luis Romeu, took early retirement from SUNY. After 1998, the Juarez-Lincoln-Marti Project adopted its more appropriate present name, created this Web Page, found new sources of funding to support its scholarship programs, as well as for starting new programs in education, and Published a Periodic Educational Electronic Bulletin .

Faculty Scholarships and Textbook Donation Programs/Becas y Donacion de Libros

Since its inception in 1994, the Project established contacts with many Mexican universities and research centers, travelled to Mexico carrying scores of donated mathematics and science textbooks, software and other teaching materials, sent by mail scores of textbooks to universities in Latin America and Spain, maintained two email information lists, sending monthly bulletins for Academics and researchers, and found full scholarships that have brought 18 Mexican faculty to participate in several SUNY/FACT Conferences for Instructional Technology (CIT). You can read the Abstract of one of our CIT Panels, presented by the Juarez Project Scholars that attended one of these Conferences .

Faculty Development Program/Programas de Desarrollo Academico

In the Spring of 2000, JLM Project Director obtained a Grant from the US Department of State, to deliver some faculty development workshops at Universidad de las Americas, UDLA, Puebla, in Mexico among other institutions. With the proceeds of this grant, the Juarez-Lincoln-Marti Project taught two other workshops on Technology in Education and launched a new program to provide additional faculty development workshops to other Iberoamerican public and provincial institutions. In 2001, the Project Director was accepted into the Fulbright Senior Speaker Specialist Program, through which he has given longer workshops and courses (four and six weeks) in universities in Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Ecuador. With the proceeds of these grants, the Project has partially underwritten courses and workshops in other institutions.

Projects in Cyberspace/Proyectos via Internet

The Project has also worked on international education via the Internet. With a group of four American and Latin American educators, he participated in the complete development of an Operations Research masters level curriculum for the Universidad del Comahue, in Neuquen, Argentina. Through the Internet the Juarez Lincoln Marti Project strives to continue its international education work in Spain, Mexico, Dominican Rep., Ecuador, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil and other countries.

Dissemination

Educational and environmental research information is periodically circulated via electronic bulletins sent through our email lists. The Project also disseminates information about technology, job opportunities, and web resources of interest such as the Portal ERIC . Information about Ecological issues is the main concern of the Great Lakes Research Consortium (GLRC) . Ecological research information is periodically emailed to its members. Both lists are free and open to the public. If you are interested in joining just send them an email.
