Description: Bring your ideas for supporting the connection between theory and practice to a junior-level course. This opportunity might involve planning and guest teaching a lecture, lab, and/or discussion sections.
Semester(s): Fall
Institution: UW–Madison
Department(s): Engineering
Intern background needed: Background with fluid mechanics/mechanics broadly
Course: CEE310: Fluid Mechanics
Course info: Junior level course with ~80 students. Includes lectures, discussions, and labs
Course time/day (fall 2020): Lecture Tuesday and Thursday, 11 – 11:50 am. Various discussions sections/labs
Challenges a project might address include: Connecting theory to practice or finding a way to teach a complex concept.
Potential guest teaching topics/units (weeks 6-10 of the semester): Could include anything from the course learning outcomes.
Teaching strategies of interest: Open to discussing ideas with intern, in particular strategies that combine deep learning with active student engagement.
Teaching strategies currently used: Active participation via incomplete lecture notes that are filled together in class. We also use technology-supported learning (online homework, lab videos, etc.) and lab sessions to help make concepts more concrete.
