This lesson will engage students in Robotics and Engineering by allowing them to choose a complex individual or group project to work on over the course of the semester.
Students will learn how to use micropipettes in preparation for conducting gel electrophoresis and other molecular biology procedures. This importance of this skill was emphasized within the context of my work at JBEI, during which accurate measurement was critical in producing meaningful data.
In this ETP, students use Excel to develop simple equations that will enable them to estimate their carbon footprint.
The goal of this ETP is to help students develop a greater ability to form arguments from evidence found in texts by evaluating a variety of evidence claims about alternative sources of water.
Re-inventing the Nation's Urban Water Infrastructure (ReNUWIt), in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford, studies stormwater collection. In the water unit in Environmental Science, we study water resources and water pollution.
In my research at UC-Berkeley's Water Center, I am conducting on-line research on water saving appliances and fixtures.
NGSS uses constructivist theory and educational research to propose a teaching paradigm to promote ways of thinking, science practices, as well as science content through an inquiry process.
The goal of this ETP is to allow students to use the concepts of systems engineering. In simple words, the systems engineer makes sure all parts are plugged in by understanding how everything works inside and outside of a system.
Millennials need to see and experience the connection between education and how it will benefit them in their adult lives directly. Merely stating that education is important or that it will help them get good paying, challenging jobs instead of menial, low paid work does not resonate with them.
