Kim Luttgen; Kevin Huang; Eunice Chow; Shuangting Yang; Linlin Li – Grantee Submission, 2024
Rural students often face challenges in receiving high-quality education in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Yet without meaningful STEM educational opportunities, rural students might not develop the knowledge and skills needed to compete in a technology-driven workforce. The Learning by Making program (LbyM), an innovative…

Fonua, Sonia M. – Journal of Comparative and International Higher Education, 2021
Sustainable development requires the valuing of Indigenous knowledges. The complex and intertwined processes of coloniality and globalisation have contributed to spreading a dominant set of Western knowledge, values, and practices discrediting local Indigenous knowledges and wisdom (Thaman, 2003). Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4),…

LeGresley, Sarah E.; Delgado, Jennifer A.; Bruner, Christopher R.; Murray, Michael J.; Fischer, Christopher J. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
Here we demonstrate the benefits of a new curriculum for introductory calculus-based physics that motivates classical mechanics using a modified version of Hamiltonian mechanics. This curriculum shifts the initial focus of instruction away from forces and the associated vector mathematics, which are known to be problematic for students, to the…
