Women in Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology: An Experimental Approach in an Undergraduate Course
Benjamin, Diane
Feminist Teacher: A Journal of the Practices, Theories, and Scholarship of Feminist Teaching, v15 n2 p93-110 2005
The author's primary purpose of this article is to share her working process--that is, the organization of a three-credit undergraduate course entitled Women in Science and Engineering, as well as the design and development of its curriculum, pedagogy, and methodology--and to reflect upon the results. To give life to this structure, a variety of examples of classroom learning activities, projects, and resource materials are shared. In addition, "snapshots" of moments from past classes are included. Appendix A contains a list of reference resources categorized according to the unit that the source most directly fits. Appendix B gives suggestions for sample focus questions for this course.
