2025 Distinguished Lecture Series in Physics

Physics Seminar (Open to the public)

Distinguished Lecture Series in Physics

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

Topic:  Teaching Students to Think Like Skilled Scientists

The primary goal of university education in science and engineering is to have students develop expertise, the ability to think like skilled scientists and engineers.  Dr. Wieman will discuss how research on both the development of expertise and the nature of technical expertise can provide guidance for more effective teaching, and he will provide examples of results when these ideas have been implemented in courses, particularly in physics.  This will also touch on the role AI can and cannot play in such an education.
