Steep declines in the presence of these populations [1] within thebiomedical research sector have caused sufficient alarm that the NIH has tasked granteeinstitutions “to implement and study innovative approaches to engaging and retaining studentsfrom diverse backgrounds in biomedical research, potentially helping them on the pathway tobecome future contributors to the NIH-funded research enterprise [2].The goals of the BUILD grant dovetail well with intensive efforts within the physics communityto transform and enhance the Introductory Physics for Life Sciences (IPLS) course sequence inways that more fully integrate the

. Audio Recordings. In the modern world, it is easier than ever to find a device that cancapture an audio recording. We can find recording devices on smartphones, cameras, webcams,etc. This accessibility allows researchers to gather data that would have otherwise been difficultto capture in real-time. In the labs, teams were asked to use their phones to record theirdiscussions of engineering design reflections (labs 7-9) or physics reflections (labs 6, 10). Thisallowed us to capture their natural conversations as they engaged in connecting their design tothe physics concepts learned in each lab. These recordings helped us identify stimulatedmoments of transfer between the concepts. Stimulated transfer proved useful to help studentsto transfer

The objective is to show themhow the book-based problems seen in physics (or even in math) are just the first step theyhave to take in order to understand a much larger amount of concepts once they’ve reached acollege level of physics or even in their future jobs as engineers.In this paper, the authors are going to present a qualitative investigation of the student’sperception of the real-life activity.

In 2016 I completed an M.A. in math education at Eastern Illinois University because of a keen interest in math as well as the need for a program that was flexible enough to accommodate my teaching schedule. This was a good decision as the focus on pedagogy was invaluable in the classroom, even with my experience. around that same time I became aware of a group called Partnership for Integration of Computation into Undergraduate Physics (PICUP) and started attending workshops. My experiences motivated me to pursue my doctorate in applied physics at Southern Illinois
