As part of the ongoing 2018/2019 PSEER seminar series Inclusivity in STEM, the steering committee was honoured to welcome Thomas Sasso to lead our most recent discussion.

Dr Andrea Bradford, Dr Julie Vale, and Ms. Samantha Mehltretter describe findings from the PSEER funded research program investigating peer assessment in senior undergraduate engineering courses.

Congratulations to Dr Gerarda Darlington (Professor, Department of Mathematics & Statistics), winner of the 2018 John Bell Award. 

In an increasingly fast-paced and demanding world, is it time for educators to rethink how and what we teach? Dr. Judi McCuaig, Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science, thinks so.

The following post was authored by Ms. Samantha Mehltretter, MASc candidate, engineering education, School of Engineering, and Dr. Julie Vale, PEng, Associate Professor, School of Engineering. Both presented research at the recent Canadian Engineering Education Association – Association Canadienne de l’Éducation En Génie (CEEA-ACEG) Conference.

Dr Judi McCuaig, Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science, has been awarded PSEER, SoTL, and LEF funding to support her research programs exploring immediate feedback and student engagement. 

Dr Karen Gordon, Dr. Julie Vale, and Dr. Ryan Clemmer have been awarded funding from PSEER to investigate perspectives on memorization and problem solving for students studying in the School of Engineering. 

Three School of Computer Science faculty members have been awarded funding from PSEER to investigate inclusion barriers for underrepresented groups in computer science. Drs Stacey Scott, Andrew Hamilton-Wright, and Ritu Chaturvedi have been awarded $10,000 for their project.
