Because visualization is key tounderstanding and modern physics so buried in the inaccessible subatomic world, the inability toget these tools is doubly crippling to teaching modern physics concepts. Finally, minoritystudents in Atlanta’s public schools are unlikely to see physical sciences as a career option.These students cannot visualize how science and technology affect their every day life or thefuture benefits they can derive by being literate in science. Most engineering fields, especiallyelectrical and mechanical, are based on modern physics, and one cannot expect students withoutexposure to these materials to choose engineering as a career.In this paper we describe an

As an adventurous adolescent, Paul grew up chasing severe thunderstorms across the plains of Kansas. And so he was quite excited after joining the Goddard Space Flight Center in July 1990 to learn that his first assignment was to prepare and install a suite of sensors on a DC-8 aircraft for an experiment to study typhoons. That fall while stationed at Kadena Airbase in Okinawa, Japan, he flew for the first time through the eye of a category 5 typhoon. That experience was the beginning of an exciting and fruitful career developing and deploying microwave remote sensors for studying Earth’s environment. Since then Paul has been the principal engineer responsible for the overall instrument

EngineeringIntroductionMost of the training future faculty receive in graduate school focuses on the research aspects ofthe enterprise. The typical new faculty member has little if any opportunity to prepare for theteaching aspects of an academic career. In this paper I share my experiences in nine offerings ofa graduate course on Teaching Engineering. The goal of the course is to prepare graduatestudents for the teaching responsibilities of a faculty position, acquaint them with learningtheories, give them a chance to discuss teaching issues and give them practice preparingmaterials for a course they might teach someday. These materials include: Educationalobjectives using higher levels of Bloom’s taxonomy, textbooks and other supporting material,detailed syllabus

The overall goal of the program is togenerate or sustain adolescents’ interest in engineering and technology and to enhance self-confidence and motivation toward education. The portion of the program developed by theCenter for Advanced Materials and Smart Structures (CAMSS) is shaped by a philosophicalapproach that emphasizes the direct benefit of learning by active methods and by

anexposure to the complexities and workings of technology. The majority of liberal arts students receive noeducation in technology despite fulfillment of college graduation requirements which include science courses. One of the causes for this lack of exposure can by identified by noticing that the current route tounderstanding technology requires liberal arts students to minor or double major in a science such as physics ora branch of engineering. Introductory courses in the sciences generally do not focus on technologicalapplications. A need exists for a one semester course through which liberal arts students might gain anunderstanding of technology sufficient for their future life experience and careers.
