University Tori Vogel is a May 2014 graduate of American University. She attained her degree in Sociology with a minor in Applied Physics. In her studies she has worked to explore the various intersections between sociology and physics. In particular, she has conducted research on cochlear implants and their impact on the deaf community. In addition, she is actively pursuing a gender study of the sociological implications of factors leading to a career choice in STEM. On campus, Tori has held leadership roles within student groups. These roles include serving for two years as Vice President of Students Fighting Homelessness and Hunger and serving as President of the Downtown Touring Fellowship. While attending American

In this study 232 students taking first and second year physics and mathcourses at a large private university in Chile participated. We used a Likert-scale instrument inwhich students chose from a “Totally agree” to “Totally disagree” scale of statements related torelevance of science and mathematics for future career and study. The results of this studydiscuss four aspects: 1) the students’ perceptions of the relevance of physics and mathematics ofscholar engineering and professional engineering practices, 2) the comparison of students’perceptions of the relevance of physics to that of mathematics, 3) gender differences on

These and other findings have helped us to recommend some actions to theDepartment of Mathematics and Physics of that university.

Topics were chosen to include motion, forces, simplemachines, structure, stress and strain, waves, sound, light, heat, and energy. The course isdivided into weekly modules addressing each area.
