Math Professor, Brian Fischer, and colleagues have recently been awarded a National Institutes of Health R01 grant under the BRAIN Initiative. This grant will combine four PIs from Seattle University, UC San Diego, UC Davis, and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to use novel anatomical, physiological, and statistical tools to understand the microcircuit basis of sound localization behavior.
The National Science Foundation has awarded a grant of $1,861,527 to Seattle University to support a project in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The title of the project is “Revolutionizing Engineering Education through Industry Immersion and a Focus on Identity,” and it will be directed by Teodora Shuman, Yen-Lin Han, Greg Mason, Kathleen Cook, and Jennifer Turns. In the words of Teodora Shuman, the grant “will allow us to implement a new approach to teaching mechanical engineering: we will bring engineering practice to students and students to engineering practice. We will study how students’ identities change along the way. We hope that it will have a positive impact on all students, including women and underrepresented minorities.”

What makes for an award-winning college math professor? An “uncanny” ability to simplify complicated concepts. A passion for undergraduate research. A dedication to student success beyond earning a degree. A commitment to math education for middle- and high school students. And a sense of humor.
These attributes and more have earned Steven Klee, PhD, assistant professor of mathematics, a prestigious 2017 Henry L. Alder Award from the Mathematical Association of America, which was announced today by the organization. The MAA awards up to only three of these annually “to honor beginning college or university faculty whose teaching has been extraordinarily successful and whose effectiveness in teaching undergraduate mathematics is shown to have influence beyond their own classrooms.”
