Title
Technically Speaking: Building Scientific Communication Self-Efficacy
Synopsis
The overall goal of the project is to improve academic competency and science efficacy to retain undergraduate STEM students so that they graduate and pursue careers/advanced study in STEM. The project focuses specifically on improving scientific communication to achieve this goal. Two learning communities pair biology and chemistry with a public speaking course in order to improve science communication, student engagement, and STEM retention. Our aim is to test curriculum and effectiveness.
