Undergraduate Computational Science and Engineering Education
In many areas of science and engineering, computation has become an equal and indispensable partner, along with theory and experiment, in the quest for knowledge and the advancement of technology. Numerical simulation enables the study of complex systems and natural phenomena that would be too expensive or dangerous, or even impossible, to study by direct experimentation. An increase during the...
متن کاملWomen’s Leadership in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics:
Despite gains overall, women are still under-represented in leadership positions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Data in the US suggest around onequarter of deans and department heads are women; in science this drops to nearly 1 in 20. Part of this problem of under-representation stems from the population pool: only 33% of science and engineering doctorate ho...
متن کاملEditorial: Applications of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Tools in Microbiology of Infectious Diseases
Epidemiology is a discipline intended to systematically investigate, and ideally quantify, disease dynamics in populations (Perez, 2015). Epidemiological assessments may be divided into four large areas, namely, (a) identification and characterization of a pathogen, (b) development of systems for detection of cases, (c) descriptive epidemiology and quantification of disease patterns, and (d) ad...
متن کاملBioinformatics Education in High School: Implications for Promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Careers
We investigated the effects of our Bio-ITEST teacher professional development model and bioinformatics curricula on cognitive traits (awareness, engagement, self-efficacy, and relevance) in high school teachers and students that are known to accompany a developing interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. The program included best practices in adult education...
متن کاملengineering science undergraduate program, a new look at the engineering education
graduates of science and engineering have almost similar background in science, mathematics and computation, with this difference that science graduates use their knowledge to explore and increase our understanding of the nature, while engineers apply that knowledge to design products, processes and structures that satisfy the needs of society. studies show that some students are interested in ...
