SCI 4750 - Science and Engineering Pedagogical Knowledge

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Science

Description:

Using the 3 dimensions of science and engineering (Disciplinary Core Ideas, Science and Engineering Practices, and Crosscutting Concepts), this course will engage students in developing meaningful understandings of problem-based approaches to teaching, learning, and the integration of engineering practices across science curriculum using appropriate practices. Students will demonstrate their skills through the development and creation of a problem-based, hands-on design experience, and introduces practicing teachers to the nature of science and engineering practices and processes. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs)** At the successful conclusion of this course students will: 1) Develop a deeper understanding the nature of science and engineering. 2) Use scientific understanding and engineering solutions for different topics. 3) Demonstrate that science is a way of knowing and assumes an order and consistency in natural systems. 4) Compare and contrast the process of scientific inquiry with the engineering design cycle. 5) Use empirical evidence to develop scientific knowledge and engineering solutions.
