Science/Math and Tech Educat (SMTE)

This non-credit course is designed as an on-line offering that must be passed by students each semester and at a grade of 100%. Students will be responsible for taking safety courses with different course numbers of SMTE, as each lab must meet different safety requirements as specified by the A&M System, depending on the types of hazardous materials used in each lab. Students will not be charged a fee for taking these courses.

The conceptual framework for understanding and applying properties, models, and operations related to various number systems in problem solving settings.

Prerequisite: MATH 1314.

The conceptual framework for understanding and applying properties, models, and operations related to various data systems in problem solving settings.

Prerequisite: SMTE 1350.

Physical science topics such as simple machines, atoms, molecules, electricity and magnetism, sound, and light. Laboratory involvement will emphasize techniques of problem solving, data gathering, and data application. The course is taught following an inquiry based format and is recommended for future K-8 level science educators.

Emphasis on biological concepts including cells, plants, invertebrate and vertebrate structural systems. Laboratory investigations focus on techniques of problem solving, data gathering, and data applications. The course is taught following an inquiry based format and is recommended for future K-8 level science educators.

The conceptual framework for understanding and applying properties, models, and operations related to various geometric systems in problem solving settings.

Prerequisite: SMTE 1351.

Study of secondary science teaching and learning from the standpoints of theory and practice, curriculum objectives, materials and evaluation. The course will emphasize contemporary issues by focusing on biological content ranging across the sub-disciplines of molecular biology, physiology, evolution and environmental science while teaching in a relevant and engaging context that includes web searches, laboratory activities, and student-centered inquiry activities

Presentation of the conceptual framework for understanding and applying science content in life sciences including biology, ecology and evolution using the national standards for science education and Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). The course is taught using scientifically researched literature and content knowledge in an inquiry based format and is recommended for future 4-8 and 7-12 level science educators.

Study of human endeavors leading to the present body of scientific knowledge placed in a historical and philosophical context. Portions of the materials will be presented in a format conducive to adaptation for middle school and high school.

Prerequisite: BIOL 1407, CHEM 1412 and EDUC 3311.

This course is designed to assist the 4-8 and 7-12 future science teacher in developing content knowledge, skills and mastery of designated laboratory and research techniques through scientific experimentation in areas such as chemistry, biology and physics. State and national laboratory safety mandates will also be addressed.

Prerequisite: BIOL 1407, CHEM 1412 and EDUC 3311.

Presentations of contemporary issues in mathematics education. Topics include history of mathematics education, state and national standards for mathematics education, cognitive development, the importance of culture, language and gender in learning mathematics, authentic assessment, and interdisciplinary curriculum.

Capstone course for students pursuing grades 4-8 certification in mathematics. Presents basic mathematical concepts in the context of advanced mathematics courses. The course includes historical development of significant ideas in mathematics and science, interpretations of mathematical topics at multiple levels, and the use of technology to generate and convey understanding of mathematical ideas.

Prerequisite: MATH 2305 and 3312.

Subject materials variable. May be repeated for credit when topics are significantly different.

Requires a formal proposal of study to be completed in advance of registration and to be approved by the supervising faculty, the Chairperson, and the Dean of the College.
