The ubiquity ofcomputerized instrumentation and detailed simulations generates scientific data involumes that no longer can be understood without computation. Computational physics isa rapidly growing subfield of physics and computational science in large part becausecomputers can solve previously intractable problems or simulate natural

Incorporating Engineering Research Experiences into High School Physical Science CurriculaAbstractAs high school teachers, it is rare that we have the opportunity to see the engineeringapplications for the mathematics and science concepts we teach. In Summer 2009, however, weparticipated in a Research Experience for Teachers (RET) project at Tennessee Tech University.Our research experiences varied: the second author conducted research that explored packcementation processes and the variables affecting the aluminide coatings on nickel-based alloysin terms of composition and microstructure. Pack runs were conducted on the samples usingdifferent methods. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to look at

subjects that students feel it is difficult to learn. If students have higher self-efficacy,they should be more confident to overcome the difficulties in physics learning.However, to date, there has been relatively little research conducted on exploring theperformance of UT students in physics learning in Taiwan. Especially, physics is one ofobligatory subjects for all engineering majors of UT students in Taiwan. Up to this point, therewere few empirical studies in investigating the students’ perceptions of physics learning. In orderto promote physics teaching/learning for UT—a vocational education system in Taiwan, the fociof this study were to explore the reality of students’ physics learning.In sum, the purpose of this study was to investigate
