LensAbstract:Physics generally falls under engineering programs yet is required for a multitude of differentmajors spanning many departments and disciplines including medicine. When people think aboutthe medical field, their mind immediately goes to classes such as biology, chemistry, anatomyand physiology. However, when looking at the prerequisite courses for medical school or testedMCAT content, there seems to be one subject that doesn’t fit in with the rest: physics. For years,pre-health students have joked that physics is much less applicable to their future careers than theother courses. The goal of this research paper is to tackle the general student assumption thatunderstanding physics will not help them in their respective fields by providing real

Engineering Education, 2018 Short-format workshops build skills and confidence for researchers to work with data.AbstractTraining for data skills is more critical now than ever before. For many researchers in industryand academic environments, a lack of training in data management, munging, analysis andvisualization could lead to a lack of funding to support sustainable projects. Today’s researchersare often learning ‘as they go’ and need the flexibility of short, or self-paced learningexperiences. Research results in educational pedagogy, however, stress the importance of guidedinstruction and learner-instructor interaction, which contrasts the need for ‘just in time’ training.We’ve taken a distinctive approach to this
