PICUP resources for integrating computation in the online and in-person classroom
Invited
Abstract
The Partnership for Integrating Computation into Undergraduate Physics (PICUP, www.gopicup.org) runs workshops, hosts an online collection of curricular materials, organizes webinars and virtual conferences, and supports a growing community of interested faculty with the goal of making it easier for faculty to integrate computation into their courses. In this talk, I will share my experience integrating computation into the Introductory Physics sequence and an upper-level Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics course. I will highlight materials in the PICUP collection that I adapted, discuss how those materials fit into and enhance the courses, talk about how I typically integrate computation into in-person courses, and how my students and I adapted to teaching and learning online. I will present different approaches used by faculty who integrate computation into physics courses in a variety of institutional settings, so attendees can see how they might integrate computation in their own introductory courses. Finally, I will point out the many resoursces and support available through PICUP.
