2025 Distinguished Lecture Series in Physics

Public Lecture

2025 Distinguished Lecture Series in Physics

Speaker:  Carl Wieman, co-winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics

Topic: Teaching & Learning Science and Engineering in the 21st Century

Guided by experimental tests of theory and practice, science and engineering have advanced rapidly in the past 500 years. Education in these subjects, however, guided primarily by tradition and dogma, has remained largely medieval. Recent research on how people learn, combined with careful experiments in university classrooms, is now revealing much more effective ways to teach and evaluate learning than is currently used in most classes. Dr. Wieman will discuss these results, what they tell us about principles of learning, and their effective implementation in science courses. This research is setting the stage for a new approach to teaching that can provide the relevant and effective science education for all students that is needed for the 21st century.
