Promoting Student Inquiry in Science and Engineering Lab Courses (Faculty Panel)
Thinking of ways to (re)design your Science and Engineering lab courses to promote student inquiry? How about supporting students in developing the agency to make their own scientific and engineering decisions?
Learn how Columbia University faculty Dr. Sarah Hansen (Chemistry), Dr. Aaron Kyle (Biomedical Engineering), and Dr. Terryanne Maenza-Gmelch (Environmental Science, Barnard) incorporated opportunities in their lab courses for students to demonstrate autonomy, such as asking their own questions, making their own decisions, generating their own interpretations, and pursuing their interests.
