Psychological & Brain Sciences
Faculty Mentor: Mindy Bergman, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
 Wednesdays 5:15 – 6 pm

Special Opportunities:
Engage in a multidisciplinary project that will significantly impact the teaching culture of the ME department, gain relevant research experience and skills, and possibly present at conferences (e.g., Student Research Week) and contribute to manuscripts
Team Needs:
Undergraduate researchers that can work on a qualitative project. Open to undergraduate students in both psychology and other departments. Team members must be responsive to communication, detail-oriented, organized, enthusiastic about research and willing to learn. Team members should also have commitment to selfless service and to best practices in university safety.
Previous experience with observations and thematic analysis is beneficial, but not required
Description:
This project is included within a larger NSF grant entitled “Teams for Creating Opportunities for Revolutionizing the Preparation of Students”, which is focused on shifting the teaching culture of the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at Texas A&M to one that emphasizes and encourages teaching innovation and fosters a more inclusive, diverse department of faculty and students.
Our specific project is focused on observing teaching teams within the ME department during the academic year. Team members will be involved in observing the teaching teams during their coordination meetings, specifically the content of the meeting, and qualitatively coding the meeting content for different themes that will be specified in our coding scheme
