Using Science Education Gateways to Improve Undergraduate STEM Education: The QUBES Platform as a Case Study
The Quantitative Undergraduate Biology Education and Synthesis (QUBES) platform was conceived as a “science education gateway” and designed to accelerate innovation in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. The technical infrastructure was purpose built to provide more equitable access to professional resources, support learning that reflects authentic science, and promote open educational practices. Four platform services (Open Educational Resource library access; professional learning; partner support; and customizable workspaces) support overlapping faculty user com...

Lattice Gas Cellular Automata Fluid Dynamics: The Model of Frisch, Hasslacher, and Pomeau
In the November 2020 “Your Homework Assignment” column in Computing in Science & Engineering, the reader was introduced to the cellular automata fluid model of Hardy, Pomeau, and de Pazzis. Although their model captures the microscopic behavior of particles, the square grid restricts the possible interactions such that the model cannot reproduce the Navier–Stokes equations in the continuous limit. Thus, for a more accurate fluid simulation, we need a more complex grid that allows for more particle interaction. Here the lattice gas cellular automata model of Frisch, Hasslacher, and Pomeau is shown. This mo...

Data Visualization for Digital Twins
Visualization techniques are useful in the analysis and insight generation for applications in computing in science and engineering. In this article, we describe the importance of visualization to a digital twin (DT), a virtual representation of a physical object, process or system that can be applied for different tasks, such as data-driven simulation, analysis or monitoring. We illustrate tasks in DTs and give examples of how visualization techniques can be applied for DTs in different application areas. (Source: Computing in Science and Engineering)

Leverage Biology to Learn Rapidly From Mistakes Without Feeling Like a Failure
This article explores the impact of neurochemicals in our brain on learning and explains how to leverage our biology to improve education and problem solving, focusing on computing education. Within this context, the article particularly examines the role of failure while learning. Learning, especially in technical fields, includes making errors on the path to success. Although these errors trigger the necessary neurochemical conditions for rapid learning, these failures can also be demotivating. To gain the benefits of failure while mitigating its negative consequences, this article recommends evidence-based behavioral st...
