David E. Drew
Dr. Drew is a sociologist who applies quantitative and qualitative techniques, especially multivariate models, in studying the development of individual potential and the growth of organizations, especially educational organizations. He is particularly interested in how management, evaluation, and education can improve both the productivity and the self-actualization of knowledge workers.
He has published extensively about a) the improvement of mathematics and science instruction at all levels of education, b) the development and evaluation of effective undergraduate programs, and c) building strong university research programs. He also has conducted research about the impact of technology, public health issues, and management and evaluation in the corporate and nonprofit worlds.
His current projects include the following:
-
He is principal investigator for a National Science Foundation Noyce grant, which provides fellowship support for graduate students who will become mathematics and science teachers.
-
He has just completed a book about the founding of Nevada State College, an institution for which he was the lead academic planner.
-
He has been working with a number of colleges and universities in the Houston area which have succeeded in closing the achievement gap between students of color and their White counterparts in mathematics, science, and technology, as well as with a similar consortium in Louisiana.
-
In addition to his scholarly publications, he frequently publishes articles in the popular press about education and society.
