Lee, Walter C.; Hall, Janice L.; Josiam, Malini; Pee, Crystal M. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: It is well known that earning a bachelor's degree in engineering is a demanding task, but ripe with opportunity. For students from historically excluded demographic groups, this task is exacerbated by oppressive circumstances. Although considerable research has documented how student outcomes differ across demographic groups, much less…

Diamond, Harvey – PRIMUS, 2023
This paper presents a series of basic computational problems that are mathematically and/or graphically appealing, and provides an idea of places one might go in trying to understand what is happening, integrating mathematics, computation, and graphics. The real point of this paper is to make a case, through those examples, for computation as an…

Muzio, Federico Matías; Sobrero, Patricio Martín; Agaras, Betina Cecilia; Valverde, Claudio – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Forward genetics involves the identification of an unknown DNA sequence (genotype) associated with the expression of that sequence (phenotype). This is often done by generating variants (mutants) of that feature. One of the most practical methods is transposon mutagenesis, which facilitates the genotype-phenotype association through a sequence…

Moore, Rosie; Hermon, Alison – FORUM: for promoting 3-19 comprehensive education, 2023
In this article we share the work we have done as teacher educators in developing a third-year undergraduate module which nurtures our students to develop their own pedagogic vision and to consider themselves 'change agents' able to orient themselves within social and political structures rather than merely adapting to the status quo. We locate…

Michaela Kuchynka; Hana Holcova Polanska; Jaromir Gumulec; Viktor Kanicky; Tomas Vaculovic – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
A new experiment using laser ablation with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) was designed for chemistry undergraduate students. While most analytical methods only provide information on the amount of the analyte, LA-ICP-MS allows extra information on the distribution of the element in the sample. Because it achieves…

Amber J. Dood; Field M. Watts – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Solving problems in organic chemistry often requires the consideration of reaction mechanisms. As such, much research has been devoted to the examination of how students consider mechanisms when solving various types of organic chemistry problems, such as predicting the products of a reaction or proposing a synthesis. This article provides a…

Ganesh S. Nhivekar; Sourabh R. Jagdale; Santosh B. Kamble; Bharat T. Jadhav; Rajanish K. Kamat; Tukaram D. Dongale – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
In this work, we have developed a versatile three-in-one single beam visible colorimeter for undergraduate laboratory courses. The battery and mains electricity supply (utility power), wired and wireless data logging, and 3D-printed components are three important highlights of the developed visible colorimeter. The system is based on a low-cost…

Trans* and genderqueer student retention and liberation is integral for equity in undergraduate education. While STEM leadership calls for data-supported systemic change, the erasure and othering of trans* and genderqueer identities in STEM research perpetuates cisnormative narratives. We sought to characterize how sex and gender data are…

Matthew Bahnson; Allison Godwin; Christian Schunn; Eric McChesney; Linda DeAngelo – International Journal of STEM Education, 2025
Background: The demand for engineers in the workforce continues to rise, which requires increased retention and degree completion at the undergraduate level. Engineering educators need to better understand opportunities to retain students in engineering majors. A strong sense of belonging in engineering represents one important contributor to…

Valeria Varea; Ana Riccetti – Health Education, 2025
Purpose: The school subject of physical education (PE) has experienced a "health turn" globally. However, some university undergraduate programs may need to be revised to adequately equip pre-service teachers to teach about health in schools. The aim of this study was to explore the content of an undergraduate university program in PE…

Annie S. Ditta; Adriana Signorini; Mathew Williams; Eric R. Johns; Andrea Aebersold; James Zimmerman; Samantha Eastman; Brian Sato; Petra Kranzfelder – To Improve the Academy, 2025
Structured classroom observation protocols provide instructors with data about their teaching practices, but instructors may not meaningfully engage with those data without guidance. To facilitate instructor reflection, educational developers from the Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) and educational researchers from STEM departments across…
