ENGR 313: Topics in Engineering and Science Education
This seminar series focuses on teaching science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses based on education research. Each year focuses on a different topic related to STEM education. This course may be repeated for credit each year.This year we will focus on active learning techniques for STEM courses. Specific topics that will likely be covered include: problem-based learning, flipped classrooms, leading effective discussions, group work, peer evaluation, and concept mapping. Throughout the quarter, there will be several opportunities for directly practicing and/or analyzing the methods from STEM education literature.

ENGR 129: The Internet in Global Context
Explore how the technologies of global connectivity are reshaping the relationships between nations, companies, and citizens, and, in turn, how nations, companies, and citizens are themselves reshaping those technologies to fit and promote their own interests. Also will examine three broad themes that arise out of the first analysis: technological determinism, technological solutionism, and technological regulation. Finally, will consider the implications of our study for what it means to be a technology professional and a citizen. Open only to students who are studying in one of the Bing Overseas Studies programs. Permission number from the instructor required for enrollment.
ENGR 192: Engineering Public Service Project
Volunteer work on a public service project with a technical engineering component. Project requires a faculty sponsor and a community partner such as a nonprofit organization, school, or individual. Required report. See
