Complex organizations like Lockheed Martin gather large amounts of data from various sources. While data collection has been automated, data analysis and communication still requires human capital.
As a summative assessment, students will design their own research question and implement the research. In pairs, they will present their research project in a scientific poster to faculty and community members.
In today’s increasingly digital world, we produce (and continue to produce) large amounts of data about things ranging from test scores, to social media posts that we “Like” or “Comment”, to online shopping recommendations, to how safe (or not) a new engineering design could be, to self-driving c
The purpose of this ETP is to develop an open-ended process for students to learn physics and coding in python. This process will include four steps. The first step will be to learn the physics concepts by direct instruction: given the principles, examples and exercises.
Biotechnology is the use and alteration of biological materials to make food, drugs, and other goods. Genetic engineering encompasses many different techniques for moving DNA between different organisms.
Students research and analyze a specific California water region, investigating its ecosystems, management challenges, and ongoing solutions, then present findings through verbal, visual, and written reports while highlighting the roles of public and private water stewards.
The Role of Regulatory Science in Drug Development is a case study activity that exposes students to cancer and the various steps and departments involved in cancer drug approval. It is based on the drug, acalabrutinib, which was developed by Acerta Pharma.
CRISPR technology has revolutionized the field of genetic engineering due to its accuracy and ease of use. Scientists can use this system to precisely modify DNA at specific loci, which has tremendous potential to benefit human life.
DDT and the Environment introduces the detrimental phenomenon of biomagnification using the example of DDT. After learning about the history of DDT and effects to the environment, students will be given data to analyze about how DDT flows through a food chain/food web in an ecosystem.
