Civil and Environmental Engineering Associate Professor Andrea Hicks draws a clear parallel between research and teaching.

Research shows that that children learn science and engineering subjects best by engaging from an early age in the kinds of practices used by real scientists and engineers. By doing science and ...

Principles for making productive connections include engaging children in investigation and design experiences that draw on multiple domains, making integration explicit in designs and teaching, ...

Both environmental science and environmental engineering offer dynamic academic and career opportunities that focus on understanding the natural world and developing sustainable solutions for global ...

We examine the call for decolonising academic disciplines, and the extent which this applies to engineering. We argue that anticolonial endeavours should systematically recognise colonial legacy in ...

Engineering practice and education encompass the methods and strategies through which engineers conceive, design, construct and maintain complex systems, alongside the pedagogies that prepare ...

The Framework for K-12 Science Education is, in my opinion, one of the most important documents ever written about the field. Written by the National Research Council, the framework established a ...

Scientific research is a dynamic process of studying phenomena through creative and systematic investigation. This process integrates new information with existing scientific knowledge. At the core of ...

Materials are a necessity for all engineering applications. Materials science and engineering seeks to understand the fundamental physical origins of material behavior in order to optimize properties ...

Rather than have students memorize definitions and facts about a science topic such as light, an effective first grade teacher today would have students investigate various types of objects under ...

The graduate programs in materials science and engineering from Drexel Engineering engage you in learning and research at the forefront of materials science. Students graduate prepared for careers in ...
