SUMMARY:ICFO | CARL WIEMAN
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: \nScience and engineering have advanced dramatically 
 over the past few centuries\, but the teaching of these subjects has not.&
 nbsp\; The primary goal of university education in these subjects is to ha
 ve students develop expertise\, the ability to think like skilled scientis
 ts and engineers.&nbsp\; I will discuss how research on both the developme
 nt of expertise and the nature of technical expertise can provide guidance
  for more effective teaching and research training\, and I will provide ex
 amples of results when these ideas have been implemented in practice.\n&nb
 sp\;\nBIO:&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\nCarl Wieman holds a joint appointment as Emeritu
 s Professor of Physics and of the Graduate School of Education at Stanford
  University. He has done extensive experimental research in atomic and opt
 ical physics and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001 for the fi
 rst realization of a Bose-Einstein condensate (with Eric Cornell and Wolfg
 ang Ketterle). He has also done extensive research on physics and science 
 education\, developing new approaches and evaluating the effectiveness of 
 various teaching methods.&nbsp\; That work was recognized with the Yidan I
 nternational Prize for Education Research.&nbsp\; Recently\, he has focuse
 d on the nature of expertise in science and engineering and how to better 
 measure and teach it. He served as Associate Director for Science in the W
 hite House Office of Science and Technology Policy from 2010 to 2012.
