The Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience (FUN) has mounted many summer workshops since its first in 1995 held at Davidson College. An important outcome of the 1995 workshop was the development of four "blueprints" to help guide institutions in developing and maintaining undergraduate programs in neuroscience. Since then, at approximately ten-year intervals, participants at the FUN workshops have revisited and amended the Blueprints to better reflect best practices in undergraduate neuroscience education, including adding a fifth blueprint in 2005. In 2017, participants at the FUN workshop held at Dominican University again conducted a review of the blueprints and amended each of the five. A significant change resulting from the 2017 discussions was revision of the neuroscience minor blueprint to reflect the evolution of this program type across institutions.
本科神经科学学院(FUN)自1995年在戴维森学院举办首次暑期研讨会以来,已经举办了多次此类研讨会。1995年研讨会的一个重要成果是制定了四份“蓝图”,以帮助指导各机构开展和维持本科神经科学项目。从那时起,大约每隔十年,FUN研讨会的参与者就会重新审视并修订这些蓝图,以更好地反映本科神经科学教育的最佳实践,包括在2005年增加了第五份蓝图。2017年,在多米尼加大学举办的FUN研讨会上,参与者再次对这些蓝图进行了审查,并对五份蓝图中的每一份都进行了修订。2017年讨论产生的一个重大变化是对神经科学辅修课程蓝图进行了修订,以反映该课程类型在各机构中的演变。
