Ultimately two units, the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging
Science and the School
of Chemistry and Materials
Science, created a new job just for him, to leverage his
knowledge and aid the expansion
of an
undergraduate research program.
In a review
of research on computer simulations and
science education and other closely related
science, technology, education, and mathematics (STEM) fields, Rutten et al. (2012) examined 48 empirical studies that focused on the use
of computer simulations aimed at changing
knowledge or skills
of high school and
undergraduate students.
