Interdisciplinary research and making a successful transition from student or postdoc to faculty in a student focused environment
Presenter:
Dr. Erika Tatiana Camacho, Associate Professor, School of Mathematical & Natural Sciences, Arizona State University
In this interactive presentation Dr. Camacho will address how to incorporate a global perspective in STEM education while expanding your research in a student focused environment. In particular, she will provide some insights on how to incorporate real world problems into existing STEM curricula, especially as it relates to Latinos and other underrepresented minority (URM) groups in the STEM disciplines. She will share her experiences and insights on successfully transitioning from postdoc/ graduate student to faculty, creating a research agenda through student interdisciplinary projects, and leveraging from the institution’s surrounding industries and environment to enhance the students’ learning experience and your ability to entice URMs and women to STEM disciplines.
