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.
