Tembrevilla, Gerald; Nesbit, Susan; Ellis, Naoko; Ostafichuk, Peter – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: For engineers who aim to address sustainability challenges, participating in transdisciplinary teams is key. Yet developing transdisciplinary knowledge, including systems thinking, metacognition, and empathic thinking, is not well supported in traditional engineering programs. Purpose: The extent to which selected learning activities…

George Ashline; Bret Findley; Mitchell Andrea; Dylan Wawruck – PRIMUS, 2024
We describe the components and implementation of an activity for multivariable calculus featuring applications to the field of chemistry. This activity focuses on the isobaric thermal expansion coefficient found using partial differentiation of the volume of an ideal gas with respect to temperature as pressure is held constant. Broader goals of…

Mairi Cowan; Christoph Richter – History Teacher, 2023
Food is perfectly positioned to link students' lives to the deep and broad historical forces around them. Like everybody else, students procure and consume food on a daily basis, use it to mark special occasions, share it with friends, enjoy or dispute it with families, all perhaps without ever considering its potential for historical analysis.…

Aviaja Lyberth Hauptmann; Stephanie Maroney; Jessica Bissett Perea; Maria L. Marco – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2025
New approaches to microbiology education are needed to ensure equitable representation in microbiology and to build literacy in microbiology and science broadly. To address this goal, we developed a course held at the collegiate level that uniquely integrated microbiology, Indigenous studies, science and technology studies, and arts and…

Quinn, Ethan S.; Sylcott, Brian; Green, Nathaneal T.; Walker, Joi P.; Hughes, Robert M. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Although undergraduate research experience has proven to have positive effects on student outcomes, such opportunities are not always widely available. Options can be especially limited for early-career engineering students who have limited research experience. One approach to addressing this issue is to partner engineering instructors with active…
