Where can we go from here? / Marcos D. (Danny) Caballero.Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.For decades, physics education has remained largely unchanged, even as computation has become central to modern science. This book highlights how educators around the world are integrating computational thinking into undergraduate physics courses. Through case studies and practical examples, contributors share their strategies for curriculum design, learning objectives, and navigating institutional challenges. The book also offers sample materials, assessments, and insights from both students and faculty. With supplementary tools such as simulations and code notebooks, this is an essential resource for departments aiming to modernize their teaching. It also serves as a valuable guide for STEM educators across disciplines. Part of IOP Series in Physics Education.Physics and astronomy teachers and course designers in higher education.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Dr. Marcos D. (Danny) Caballero is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, the Department of Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering, and the CREATE for STEM Institute at Michigan State University. He holds the Lappan-Phillips Chair of Math and Science Education, co-directs the Physics Education Research Lab, serves as a co-principal investigator for the Computational Education Research Lab, and holds an appointment as research faculty at the University of Oslo's Centre for Computing in Science Education.Title from PDF title page (viewed on November 10, 2025).
