    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral Competition (Undergraduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 1er cycle)

    The landscape of student learning in undergraduate physics courses has gone through a gradual shift that has taken place after 2020. This study aims to address this fundamental shift among a group of physics undergraduates taking a second-year introductory electronics course. In changing the modality of learning to revolve around a book written specifically for the course (*Introductory...

    Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

    Rural schools across Ontario are often smaller and less connected to nearby postsecondary institutions, which can make it difficult to staff specialized courses. As a result, students in these schools may face more limited access to senior STEM subjects [1,2].

    This study examines the factors underlying urban-rural differences in students’ postsecondary readiness. Using descriptive...

    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

    It has been shown “that female students with A’s have similar physics self-efficacy as male students with C’s in introductory courses. Also female students are less likely to see themselves as a physics person than male students” (Marshman, Yasemin Kalender, Nokes-Malach, Schunn, Singh, 2018)).

    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

    This project is part of a comprehensive revision of the Undergraduate Physics Laboratory Curriculum at the University of Waterloo, supported by the Dean's Undergraduate Teaching Initiative, Waterloo Science Endowment Fund (WatSEF), and the Sinclair Foundation.

    I have designed an introductory-level experiment on Second Harmonic Generation (SHG). SHG is a nonlinear optical process in which...
