2019 Workshop -- Teaching Computational Thinking Skills with MATLAB

October 20-22, 2019

Workshop program and resources

For students to succeed at research and careers in STEM, they require quantitative thinking and computational skills. This workshop brought together faculty who teach computation in their courses and are interested in strengthening and developing their teaching skills and MATLAB based materials. Working in sessions and 1-on-1 with faculty peers and MATLAB experts, participants discussed teaching strategies, tools, and resources. Participants spent time during the workshop evolving and improving their course materials based on give-and-take with and colleagues. Because the workshop included educators from multiple disciplines – from Biology to Engineering to Math – the workshop enabled sharing of ideas and best practices across fields of study.
