Dr. Tareq Daher is offering a 3-credit STEM teaching course (ENGR 491) for graduate students in the College of Engineering offered in Spring 2018. The course is scheduled to be offered from 1:00 to 4:00 pm, weekly in Nebraska Hall W357.
Course Description:
This graduate level course is designed to provide training for graduate students who are currently or will be teaching at the postsecondary level. Evidence-based teaching methods applicable to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) will be investigated, and a learner-based pedagogy will be used to engage those in the course to experience STEM Practices. The common element of problem solving is emphasized across all STEM disciplines, allowing students to discover, explore and apply critical thinking skills as they learn.
This course provides a forum to discuss issues of learning, teaching, and assessment. Students will a) develop a unit on Canvas that includes learning goals, lecture and activities, and assessments, b) teaching philosophy, and c) engage with technologies that support and enhance teaching and learning.
