The WVU Humanities Center will host a workshop for faculty members on the value of Humanistic STEM learning in academia Friday (Feb. 4) at noon via Zoom. Due to inclement weather and air travel concerns, the center will offer the workshop as a Zoom-only, rather than as a hybrid event.
The workshop will be hosted by Debra T. Bourdeau and Beverly L. Wood. Both Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University faculty members and NSF grant recipients, their work focuses on crossing the divide between teaching STEM and humanities coursework to improve students’ long-term success inside and outside of the classroom.
H STEM is a path blending the study of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with interest in, and concern for, human affairs, welfare, values or culture.
Goals for attendees include an understanding of the humanities through the lens of the STEM disciplines that would not exist without the human focus on the progress of society in the areas of rhetoric, literature, history, philosophy, art, religion and ethics.
