EDU 4040 - Practices and Implementation of STEM

3 hrs

Students will apply teaching models such as problem- and project-based learning to plan lessons around engineering and technological design outcomes. Discussion of these models will focus on how to develop students’ understanding of concepts and create lessons through which students apply this knowledge in novel ways and/or to solve problems. Candidates will put into practice methods to increase student engagement with Science and Engineering Practices through the following: cultivating scientific investigations, developing engineering solutions, fostering data utilization, implementing project-based learning, developing scientific explanations, and promoting scientific argumentation.
