PLUContemporary mathematics has played an integral role in the development of computer technologies, search algorithms, financial investing strategies, physical models of nature, fair redistricting voting models, and more.Clark says part the value of the CS-STEM program is meeting with PLU grad students in the Masters of Arts in Education Program. “I get to hear their experiences—the good, the bad, and the horrendous. It’s nice to share a space with other people who are also passionate about changing how we

nursing students. Also on its way is a maternal and neonatal birthing simulator, complete with newborn Hal. As the name suggests, the wireless patients will help nursing students simulate the childbirth process and possible complications. The remodel includes the addition of a learning resource center that features four computer stations for licensure examination reviews and audiovisual materials. “Our challenge now becomes developing instructors who can maximize the new learning opportunities

starts appearing on the computer. To an untrained eye, the readouts seem like random squiggles and blobs. But the frequencies mean quite a bit to the chemists. It tells them – on a molecular level – how atoms comprising a molecule are bonded together and what parts of the molecule are in motion with respect to the other parts of the molecule. On a more basic scale, it will help them decipher the compound they are looking at. Some solid samples need to spun inside the magnet at nearly the speed of

for student-faculty research and student-faculty collaboration,” Tonn said. “We just didn’t have that kind of space before.” It provides for academic programs that require a higher level of technology such as mathematics, computer science and business, which previously had limited technology available to them. The renovation of Xavier Hall did the same thing for social science programs: improved teaching space, collaborative space and improved infrastructure and technology. The building was

. Many of the students are mathematic, computer science and physics majors. Working in teams and a addressing problems outside the context of textbooks is how they’ll be using their skills after graduation, Case said. They won’t know who won the competition until later this spring, but the experience is reward enough. Nicole Pennington, first year, thought one of the great challenges and exciting aspects of the contest was the students had to come up with the tools they needed to build the model

April 26, 2011 Getting down to business – and winning! By Chris Albert Over Spring Break, six PLU business students took a deep breath and kept charging as a computer breakdown cut their time to complete a competition in half. “Problems happen in the real word,” said Vitaliy Marchenko, shrugging off the setback. And in the end, the lost time didn’t matter. From left to right: Colin Zinnecker, Sanne Jacobsen, Tiffany Brown, Kasey Dorcas, Vitaliy Marchenko and Alisha Fisher took home two first

when he was 14 and has called the Pacific Northwest home ever since. He said he chose PLU because he liked the liberal arts aspect, and he wanted to study science. “I saw them as a nut to crack in some ways,” Malloy said. “I wanted to challenge myself.” Malloy, who double-majored in Chemistry and Computer Science, credits PLU with propelling him onto his career path. “I probably wouldn’t have gone to Guatemala if I hadn’t gone to PLU, and then I wouldn’t have gone to Columbia University or married

Communication Officer direct access to the building’s floor plans,” Premo said. “We can tell the floor and the building and fill in emergency contacts. “ Premo said all Campus Safety staff and student workers have been trained on the system. During a test run of one of the units in Olson, the computer monitor above Campus Safety Officer Shawn Thompson flashed a can’t-miss “request for help” notification. So far this year, Premo said, no one has activated the system for real—but the outdoor speakers are
