Integrating Computation into Physics Courses and Advanced Labs Date: November 4, 2023 Location: Lewis Univeristy
Any physics educators from around the Chicagoland area (or anywhere else if you're willing to travel!) that want to energize their physics courses should attend! The scope of this workshop is appropriate for physics teachers from high schools, 2-year colleges, and 4-year colleges and universities. The workshop will include demonstrations and discussions about various aspects of integrating computational activities into physics courses at all levels from introductory to advanced.
Sustainably Integrating Computation into Undergraduate Physics Courses Date: November 18, 2023
This day-long workshop will include demonstrations and discussions about various aspects of integrating computational activities into physics courses at all levels from introductory to advanced. There will be guided working time wherein participants will explore tested computational exercises, will build an outline for including computational activities into their courses, and discuss integrating computations throughout the curriculum. Participants will be encouraged to become part of a growing community of physics educators dedicated to improving the physics curriculum through including computation as a standard problem solving method.
