He is active in the American Society for Engineering Education, is past chair of the Freshman Programs Division, currently serves on the steering committee. Jim has been active in the freshman engineering program at A&M for nearly 20 years was an active participant in the NSF Foundation Coalition from 1993 to 2003 also has received funding for his engineering education research from the Department of Education FIPSE program and from the National Science Foundation CCLI program. Before joining Charles Sturt University as Professor of Engineering and Inaugural Course Director in 2015, he was on the faculty in civil engineering at Texas A&M for over 30 years. Jim Morgan is the father of two daughters and the spouse of an engineer. With his background, he is on track to become a successful mathematics educator and scholar. He is currently teaching mathematics education courses and conducting rigorous research in the field as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Texas A&M University. He earned several publications including journal articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings. He presented his research at several educational research conferences including AERA, NCTM, and SERA as well as having papers in proceedings of FIE and AAEE in engineering education. As a graduate student, he distinguished himself through his extensive publications on STEM teaching and learning and has participated in the writing of several grant proposals. His honors include the Lechner Scholarship and the College of Education Graduate Strategic Support Scholarship. In addition, he taught students in the camp as well as assisting with teacher professional development. He served as the STEM Summer Camp Assistant Director for two years. Upon graduation in 2016, he had the highest number of publications in the program so far. in Mathematics Education in 2016, both at Texas A&M University. His Ministry of National Education Scholarship allowed him to complete his Masters in Mathematics Education in 2012 and his Ph.D. He came to Texas A&M University from Turkey for his doctoral work after graduating from Belal Bayar University in 2006. He has also developed a number of educational Flash interactive applets for teaching at various levels of mathematics, physics, and statistics.Īli Bicer was a high school mathematics teacher in Turkey for three years. In particular, he has participated in numerous professional development workshops primarily for Texas high school teachers, including those in technonlogy, algebra, pre-calculus, and problem solving. Allen, with more than 50 publications, has given nearly 40 professional development workshops and over 150 seminars throughout the U.S. He is also associated editor for the Schools Science and Mathematics Journal and the Focus on Mathematics Pedagogy and Content. He is also active in a NSF funded GK-12 project with rural middle schools.Īllen is editor of the Math/Science-Online Newsletter and a consulting editor for Thomson Learning. Currently, he is leading a multi-institutional course redesign project in Math 1324 for the THECB. Recently, Allen co-developed a "course-in-a-box" pre-calculus course by combining content, pedagogy, assessment, videos, animations, and interactivity. For the master's program, he developed more than seven online courses. In addition, he has co-developed a fully online master's of science degree in mathematics, one of only two nationally, and the only one specifically designed for teachers. Allen has co-developed an online calculus course and online texts in linear algebra and the history of mathematics. His education research is in technology in survey design and other subjects. His mathematical research has been in the areas of probability, functional analysis, numerical analysis, neutronics, and mathematical modeling. He is currently Director of the Center for Technology-Mediated Learning in the Department of Mathematics. Allen has been a professor of mathematics at Texas A&M University for more than two decades.
