, and tools for integrating probabilistic forecasts with other data sets.Many other industries, groups, and individuals use weather information. For example, theconstruction industry uses weather information to schedule specific activities and to purchasematerials. K-12 teachers use weather data to develop math and engineering skills in theirstudents, which is essential for the future [4, 5, 6]. Following the classic Boyer Report, it is very important that no gap exists between teachingand research [7]. In addition, faculty members who creatively combine teaching with researchare essential to the improvement of undergraduate education [8, 9, 10, 11]. With this in mind,we now introduce the model that governs and sustains the teaching and

Unlike a traditional department, the one that plays as the leader is the so-called the educational resource center (ERC) or the center school. The professor who is in charge of the ERC supposed to have the richest domain knowledge and more hardware setups in that expertise. Meanwhile, the leader shall be open-minded and is willing to share his educational resources at least within his or her cluster. The possible resources that may be shared include not only the hardware like teaching facilities, lab equipment, but the software such as the course materials as well. At the end

Recognizingthat it is inappropriate to give the same test to all students, we will give exams at two differentlevels in 2006. Furthermore, we will prepare a study guide that will be posted on the TCFFHRCwebsite, and we will encourage teachers to focus on challenging their students by assignmentsand tests that require students to integrate knowledge as an everyday exercise.References1.
