 \nEquity and Efficacy: Using Data to Drive Transformation in Foundationa
 l STEM courses\n\nSeminar Description: Foundational STEM courses at rese
 arch universities often adopt a shared set of structures\, including lar
 ge class sizes\, passive lectures\, high stakes\, inauthentic examinatio
 ns\, extensive content coverage\, and more. Decades of research suggest 
 that many of these structures are both less effective and less equitable
  than alternative approaches. Continued reliance on them has earned thes
 e courses a long-standing\, nation-wide reputation as exclusionary gatew
 ays\; driving away capable students interested in STEM disciplines\, oft
 en in inequitable ways. In this talk\, I will review some of this resea
 rch\, including new multi-institutional\, multi-disciplinary results fro
 m the SEISMIC collaboration\, and argue that increasing the efficacy and
  equity of these courses requires structural change. Structural change i
 s challenging\, and often requires institutional support. I will discuss
  examples of reform efforts that have successfully encouraged and enable
 d lasting change.\n\nPre-Reading: In January 2025\, the National Academi
 es of Science\, Engineering\, and Mathematics issued a new report entitl
 ed "Transforming Undergraduate STEM Education: Supporting Equitable and 
 Effective Teaching." This report provides a good overview of our current
  understanding of the challenges McKay will address\, and highlights the
  essential importance of data informed change.\n\n\n\n\n\nTim McKay is t
 he Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Physics\, Astronomy\, and Associate De
 an for Undergraduate Education in the College of Literature\, Science\, 
 and the Arts\, and Professor of Education in the School of Education at 
 the University of Michigan. McKay received a BS in Physics from Temple U
 niversity\, where he was a first-generation\, commuter student. He recei
 ved his PhD in Physics from the University of Chicago in 1992\, and join
 ed the faculty at Michigan in 1995.\n\nMcKay’s team has applied observ
 ational and experimental data science methods to astrophysics\, cosmolog
 y\, and education. They have probed the growth of cosmic structure as we
 ll as the expansion history of the Universe\, especially through studies
  of galaxy clusters and gravitational lensing. They have discovered prom
 pt optical counterparts to gamma-ray bursts and many other astrophysical
  transients. Since 2008\, they have been using classroom and institution
 al data to make higher education more equitable\, inclusive\, and effect
 ive. In the last few years\, McKay has helped to launch the Foundational
  Course Initiative\, the Sloan Equity and Inclusion in STEM Introductory
  Courses (SEISMIC) project\, the Mellon College and Beyond II study\, an
 d the Mellon Transfer Bridges to the Humanities Project.\n\n\n\nMore abo
 ut Fulton Schools of Engineering Educ\n\nation Seminars (SEEdS) \n\nLTH
  will continue to host monthly guest speaker seminars for the community 
 to regularly learn about and discuss topics related to Engineering Educa
 tion. The seminars\, formerly known as the Teaching Community of Practic
 e (TCP)\, are open to anyone interested in the FSE community. See our pr
 ofessional learning calendar for the most up to date information and oth
 er opportunities.\n\nSpring 2025 | Third Fridays | 12pm-1pm MST | via Z
