理学硕士

完成MST学位后，学生将能够：使用非演算数学技术，根据开普勒定律和牛顿定律解决问题。演示教学科学内容的最佳做法。使用演示软件（如Powerpoint）以科学主题发表口头报告。了解如何使用科学和天文设备，例如望远镜，数码相机，GPS和电子设备，包括万用表和/或便携式天文馆。准备一个最终项目，其中将包括科学研究，教育研究和/或课程创建或分析。基于内容的非主题高级学位，主要面向在职中学，IPC（综合物理和化学），物理或天文学的高中教师以及其他教育和公共宣传（EPO）专业人员。需要30个学分，其中至少15个是内容
Upon completing the MST degree, students will be able to: Solve problems based on Kepler's Laws and Newton's Laws using non-calculus mathematical techniques. Demonstrate best practices for teaching scientific content. Present an oral report on a scientific topic using presentation software such as Powerpoint. Learn how to use scientific and astronomical equipment such as telescopes, digital cameras, GPS, and electronic devices, including multimeters, and/or portable planetariums. Prepare a Final Project, which will include scientific research, educational research, and/or curriculum creation or analysis. A content-based, non-thesis, advanced degree primarily directed towards inservice middle school, IPC (Integrated Physics and Chemistry), Physics, or Astronomy high school teachers and other Education and Public Outreach (EPO) professionals. Thirty credit hours required, of which at least 15 will be content or combination content/tools courses. The remaining credits can either be content, tools, education, research, or practicum, with no more than 12 hours total in research and practicum credits. A special project is required as part of the research or practicum hours. Each student will have a 3-person committee, with at least two members from the tenure-track faculty, to approve the student's proposed program, advising which specific courses will best suit the student's needs, and approving their final project. At least one of the members of the committee will be an experienced Education Professional, who will ensure the appropriateness of the courses to the educator's program. At least one person of the committee will be an expert in the content area that is the student's primary teaching interest. The usual other MS requirements will apply, for example, no more than 9 hours as a Class III studen't, no more than 6 hours transfer credit, and at least 15 hours at the 500 level and above. The students apply through the Physics and Astronomy Department, GREs are required. A 3-person committee with at least one Education Professional will review applications.<br><br><br>A content-based, non-thesis, advanced degree primarily directed towards inservice middle school, IPC (Integrated Physics and Chemistry), Physics, or Astronomy high school teachers and other Education and Public Outreach (EPO) professionals.
