Description: The problem of scheduling several tasks over time, including measure of performance, single-machine sequencing, flow shop scheduling, the job shop problem and priority dispatching.
Description: This learning experience is designed to provide graduate level training on 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 for discovery, exploration, and application of critical thinking skills. Primary tasks include developing a unit on Canvas that includes learning outcomes, lecture and activities, and assessments, a teaching philosophy, and engaging with technologies that support and enhance teaching and learning.
Description: Introduction to the basic types of research study designs (quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods) through examples in STEM education. Learn to identify an educational problem in STEM education, pose a research question, and support the need for a study through literature review. Become familiar with how theories of learning and thinking are used to predict or explain research findings. Become familiar with the protection of human subjects and gain certification for human subjects research.
Description: Introduction to theories relevant to STEM education research. Differentiate and connect the roles of theoretical and conceptual frameworks in STEM education research. Become familiar with how to read, discuss, synthesize, critique, communicate, and apply theory in the context of a STEM education research study.
Description: Fundamentals of how radio frequency identification (RFID) components of tag, transponder, and antennae are utilized to create RFID systems. Best practices for implementation of RFID systems in common supply chain operations.
Description: Development of technology as a trigger of change upon humankind, from the earliest tools of Homo Habilis to the advent of the radio telescope in exploring the creation of the universe. Traces the paths from early science to development of the sciences and technologies that will dominate the new millennium.
