TIDES: Teaching to Increase Diversity and Equity in STEM initiative, launched by American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) through a grant from the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust. Full title: Enhancing Computation and Information Science Learning Opportunities for Women Leaders in STEM
Project Period
September 2014-August 2017
Project Goals
Develop a sequence of computational modules for a blended approach to developing physics majors' computational skills and test them in both a dedicated course and as self-paced resources distributed across the curriculum
Develop and incorporate stories that highlight the careers and work of non-Western, women, and under-represented minority scientists as a means of engaging and retaining a more diverse student body
Organize workshops for Tri-Co faculty and beyond to adapt the approach for similar computational skills development programs in biology, chemistry, and geoscience
