Teaching first-year Computational Science with an emphasis on collaborative problem solving

Teaching first-year Computational Science with an emphasis on collaborative problem solving

Date

Tuesday 24 September 2019, 1:00pm (AEST)

Speakers

Tim Moroney (QUT)

Abstract: This talk will describe my experiences in designing and teaching a first-year unit in Computational Science at QUT. While many students commencing STEM degrees have significant experience with programming, others commence their studies with little to no programming experience, and often little appreciation for the importance of computation and simulation across the STEM disciplines. I will address some of the challenges in teaching a multidisciplinary cohort of Science, Information Technology, Mathematics and Engineering students with diverse backgrounds in programming and mathematics, and discuss some of the approaches taken in this unit, particularly regarding collaborative problem solving.
