Guidelines and Materials to Improve Undergraduate Teaching in the Animal Sciences

Department of Animal Sciences, Washington State University, Pullman

ABSTRACT

On May 20 and 21, 1966, a conference on Undergraduate Teaching in the Animal Sciences was held in Washington, D.C., under the sponsorship of the Commission on Education in Agriculture and Natural Resources (CEANAR), National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council. Attendance at the conference was intentionally limited to approximately 40—20 participants and 20 observers. Participants were selected on the basis of geographic distribution, type of institution, and other factors, and represented a variety of disciplinary and species backgrounds. Observers were selected to represent areas that impinge upon meat animals, dairy and poultry, including fisheries, wildlife, laboratory animals, and veterinary medicine.

Stated purposes of the conference were to 1) assess the status of undergraduate education in the animal sciences, 2) recommend action, if any, that should be undertaken to improve undergraduate teaching in the animal sciences, and 3) suggest mechanisms for implementation of recommended action.

This conference was somewhat differently organized than the Conference on Undergraduate Education in Dairy Science, held August 10 and 11, 1965, at Lincoln, Nebraska, and reported in the May, 1966, JOURNAL OF DAIRY SCIENCE.
