  • The Role of Computer Science in Liberal Arts Education & SocietyComputer Science integrates three fundamental processes: theory (from mathematics), abstraction (based on the scientific method), and design (from engineering) [1]. The problem solving perspectives emphasized in CS provide important mental models for addressing problems in many disciplines. This is sometimes called “algorithmic thinking” or “computational thinking.” As described by Walker et. al., “methodologies within computer

  • preparation before publication. Choosing a research topic Choosing a research topic can be a difficult task. Even within the guidelines of an assigned topic, there can be multiple pathways to focus on. Here are some things to consider when narrowing down your topic: Keep in mind that choosing a research topic is research!  What are the topical guidelines your instructor has put in place? Does your topic need to adhere to a certain time period, individual, theory, etc.?  Is there a particular subject that

  • . These types of projects demonstrate a student’s ability to think like a scientist and connect theory to practice. Beyond that, it trains students to think critically. “It’s one of the ways they develop habits of mind that are connected to being good citizens, too, because research questions are rarely neat,” Killen said. The process of developing a hypothesis, and determining how to explore that question and collect data, may look like a method useful only in academic research. However, Killen

  • read works by these influential geographers and to observe the convergence of social theory and social action. Before learning about the significance of the 2011 ‘toma’ de la FAU, I had this misconception that the weekly, bi-weekly, or sometimes monthly marches were the most important expression of the student movement. Don’t get me wrong, the actions in the streets are absolutely vital. However, they are relatively temporary compared to the more permanent nature of a ‘toma.’ The more I thought

  • professional nurses for advanced nursing roles. The M.S.N. curriculum is evidence-based and practice-oriented, and consists of a common core (theory, advanced practice roles, evaluation and outcomes research, leadership and management, and advanced health promotion), specialty didactic and clinical/practicum experiences, and a capstone course (Scholarly Inquiry or Thesis). Each M.S.N. student completes coursework leading to the Care and Outcomes Manager concentration, which may be further differentiated

  • foreign languages—particularly the “soft” ones such as Spanish and French—while men gravitate to the “hard” languages (German, Russian) and other academic subjects such as science and math. In the larger university setting, most foreign language departments have traditionally been split between (mostly male) tenured and tenure-track faculty members engaged in original research in literature or literary theory, and (mostly female) non-tenured lecturers and teaching assistants responsible for the

Foundation courses in the minor build essential skills to understand the process of innovation in historical and ethical contexts and to learn fundamental concepts in economic theory, art & design, communication, and business management. A concluding seminar requires that students work in teams to envision their own innovative solutions to ethical concerns, pressing problems, and business opportunities. The minor’s
