STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) majors to become K-12 math and science teachers. There’s a national shortage of these educators, especially in schools with high-needs student populations. “I like biology, and I also like being with children,” Aung said. “This is a great way to get teaching experience – something I might like to explore after graduation.” “I’m still exploring different careers and I also enjoy working with children,” added Escobar. She mentioned her interests to her

& Environmental Engineering, and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering. You’ll participate in research with one or more of our faculty, learn about careers in science and engineering, and see how scientists blend knowledge and skills from physics, chemistry and biology to investigate some of the most challenging problems in environmental sciences. We encourage applications from undergraduate students who are citizens or permanent residents of the U.S., especially attending universities other than Georgia Tech

trips because the world is larger than our Lute community. He believes it is important to encounter people and opinions that differ from ours, especially for young adults who are still developing their worldview. You never know what kind of street food you will fall in love with! One of Dr. Powell’s funny study away stories involves a time that he and his students were locked in a municipal building in Leipzig after hours. The doors auto locked and all of a sudden, they were completely alone. After

September 29, 2008 The haves and the have nots, closing the gap The statistics, especially given the economic meltdown on Wall Street in the past few weeks, are not encouraging. Since the 1970s, incomes in the United States have been dramatically pulling apart, as the rich get richer, and the poor and middle class fall further and further behind.“The incomes are as unequal in American as they have ever been in history,” said Professor Peter H. Lindert, who will speak on campus next week. “The

Angeles studios and the leading replaced or strengthened, while the 24 window panes were carefully cleaned. This $35,000 refurbishing was desperately needed, as lead will expand and contract over time, Martinez explained.  The lead tubing that held the panes in place, especially the centerpiece, was beginning to buckle. So it was time for some much-needed TLC. When the crews unwrapped the pieces down in LA, they first put all the panes on a table, and traced around the edges to act as a template for

to introduce physics through a variety of intriguing experiments, the event invites not only the PLU community but also students and families from local middle and high schools. There also will be an exploration table during intermission for more entertainment. “The demo show is designed to reach out to the public and to kids especially,” Hay said. “My department colleagues and I wish to show them that science is fun. For children, visibility of adult scientists gives them permission to pursue

timely scholarship. “One of my goals at PLU is to promote early engagement of undergraduate students – especially for women and underrepresented students – in machine learning, bioinformatics, and the data science field,” he says. “I want to inspire students to pursue advanced STEM education and research careers.”  Cao explains: “Not only is research interesting for the students, I think it’s truly an important part of their education in computer science. I liken it to the Chinese proverb, from

service, which is to say that I am motivated by my desire to help others —  even if that means working on incredibly sensitive topics. Are there moments when the complexity of this work can be daunting? Complexity always presents a significant challenge —  especially as it relates to emerging international economic and security challenges, such as international sanctions evasion and money laundering. I try to distill and ultimately reduce these enormously complex transnational issues into smaller and

engineering Ph.D. programs. The program is extended, but not limited, to underrepresented minorities, women, first-generation college students, geographically underrepresented students, educationally or financially disadvantaged students, and students with disabilities. Eligibility: Students must be current sophomores through non-graduating seniors and must be U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, or have DACA status. A minimum GPA of 3.2 is required. Competitive applicants will have prior research
