Description/Abstract
Service-learning (SL), Problem-based learning (PBL), and research ethics are incorporated into the undergraduate STEM curriculum to enhance student learning, engagement, and critical thinking skills. Student-centered, inquiry-driven, interactive activities are used to reinforce student understanding of basic scientific methodology. Community partners in collaboration with Barry’s Center for Community Service Initiatives (CCSI) are being identified and recruited. Service-learning is integrated into courses so that students can provide meaningful service to the community and enrich their learning and research experiences while fostering civic responsibility.
