| Abstract Title: |
Implementation of a course-based, authentic learning experience in upper- and lower-division laboratory classes |
| Abstract: |
We designed and implemented a course-based authentic learning experience (ALE) in which upper-division students design and build instruments to monitor water quality of the American River, which runs by our campus and is important to the local ecology. Students in a lower-division, introductory course then characterize and test the instruments for eventual deployment in the river. The project bridges the upper- and lower-division classes while providing all students with a great example of how physicists can contribute to environmental and societal issues. We will discuss our first implementation of the project and its benefits to students, along with our long-term implementation plans for the ALE. |
