Electroanalytical chemistry has been advanced through portable devices, providing methods and sensors for the detection of analytes with high sensitivity and accuracy. This subfield of electrochemistry has the potential to be utilized in industry and analytical quality control, in general. This results in an increasing demand for trained…

Project MLeXAI [Machine Learning eXperiences in Artificial Intelligence (AI)] seeks to build a set of reusable course curriculum and hands on laboratory projects for the artificial intelligence classroom. In this article, we describe two game-based projects from the second phase of project MLeXAI: Robot Defense--a simple real-time strategy game…

Early exposure to embedded computing systems is crucial for students to be prepared for the embedded computing demands of today's world. However, exposure to systems knowledge often comes too late in the curriculum to stimulate students' interests and to provide a meaningful difference in how they direct their choice of electives for future…

Describes the use of a scale analog model of an actual fractured rock reservoir to replace paper copies of fracture maps in the structural geology curriculum. Discusses the merits of the model in enabling students to gain experience performing standard structural analyses. (DDR)

Presents a series of laboratory exercises designed to introduce students to a realistic experience in biological research that is feasible with large numbers of beginning biology majors. The exercises center on the study of alkaline phosphatase. (DDR)

Discusses how to best approach the science education of a range of students in higher education. Focuses on the importance of hands-on experiences, organization of courses, relevance and interest level of the content, and the faculty dilemma of the roles of research and teaching. (DDR)

This document provides a summative evaluation of an ongoing collaborative professional development project that focuses on a course in experimental science learning. Project goals include: (1) providing elementary school teachers with a professional development program for science education that is grounded in the National Science Education…

This research aims to devise an intervention that can enhance three-dimensional anatomical understanding and develop testing instruments that can be used to measure this understanding. First year veterinary medicine students (N=62) participated in a study that explored: (1) whether participants who use a cross section for learning the anatomy of…

Details a project developed to provide stimulating science classroom environments as incentives to draw talented science majors into teaching. Focuses on the experiences of one student. (DDR)

This study takes place within the context of the Science: Parents, Activities, and Literature (Science PALS) project and examines elementary school students' reactions to instruction implemented by teachers participating in this special problem-centered professional development program. The study focuses on student perceptions of their science…
