Appropriate information on solar resources is very important for a variety of technological areas, such as: agriculture, meteorology, forestry engineering, water resources and particularly for an innovating technology such as solar energy.
While a master's might whet your appetite for further study, graduates are likely to be snapped up in a range of jobs, from banking and IT to meteorology and engineering.
With the help of departments as varied as nursing, law, meteorology and engineering, the museums' directors are deploying their extensive collections, and sometimes the artists themselves, to enhance curriculums.
Our interdisciplinary module integrated material from meteorology and engineering and was successful at promoting student learning.
Thus, while it revealed significant changes in student knowledge about meteorology and engineering, it only quantified short-term learning, not long-term retention.
Thus, there remains a need for outreach programs that span both meteorology and engineering to close the gap in public awareness on the hazards posed by severe weather.
The short-term goal of the module was to present important content in both meteorology and engineering, two fields not often combined in STEM outreach activities, to increase students' knowledge on basic tornado mechanics and structural engineering principles.
We describe and analyze the presented approach in detail, and apply it to real-world multimodal data sets from biology, medicine, meteorology and engineering.
Results of the learning assessment showed that immediate student knowledge of basic content in both meteorology and engineering topic areas increased as a result of their participation in the 1-h module (Table 1).
To quantitatively assess student content learning in meteorology and engineering, students took a four-question quiz upon entering the classroom portion and then re-took the quiz upon departing the classroom portion.
