Tinker, Thinker, Maker and CEO: Reimagining the physics student as Engineer, Inventor, and Entrepreneur A presentation summarizing why PIE is important, and giving resources for educators who are interested in learning more about teaching PIE |
Type: Presentation Audience: Faculty, undergraduate students, graduate students Duration: 60 minutes Contact: bailey@aps.org |
Physics Beyond the Core The focus of the session is on undergraduate physics that builds on the “core” courses. Many programs have very similar core curricula but few have undergraduate experiences that go beyond core courses. Our contention is that the core program should lead to a capstone project that focuses on student research and for which the core program has prepared the student. |
