  1. 1146. How redesigning our first-year labs grew into a “Gesamtkunstwerk” in Physics Education

    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    In this talk, we’ll tell the story of how an initial idea for course redesign grew into something much bigger, incorporating ideas from Physics Education research and the Physics Education community, design of learning spaces, SOTL (scholarship of teaching and learning), building a community of practice etc. along the way – thus “Gesamtkunstwerk”. We will describe how funding for teaching lab...

  2. 1055. Astronomy in the undergraduate advanced laboratory: Studying delta-Scuti variable stars
    Etienne Rollin (Carleton University)

    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    Astrophysics concepts acquired in undergraduate courses are sometimes difficult to explore in a teaching laboratory for upper year physics students. We will share our experience developing an experiment on variable stars offered as part of an undergraduate advanced lab courses at Carleton University. The stars studied were mainly of the delta-Scuti type (Dwarf Cepheid), because of their high...

    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    The Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta will be introducing two major pedagogical initiatives in 2017 that will provide opportunities to reimagine the student experience. One such opportunity will be the creation of an exclusively lab-based, multidisciplinary, compressed-term science course designed for non-science students. I will begin by outlining the context of this new course...

  4. 1457. From Particle Physics to Education: The Role of Tinkering
    Mats Selen (Universiry of Illinois)

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    The love of tinkering is perhaps the single most universal trait among scientists. From designing an experiment to building a computer application to solving a differential equation, the cycle of "observe - explain - test - revise” is at the root of the scientific creative process. Driven by the love of tinkering, we have developed a small low-cost wireless lab system with the goal of...
