Life: The Excitement of Biology
SENCERizing a Biology General Education (Gen-Ed) Course

“It is about the real value of a real education, which has almost nothing
to do with knowledge, and
everything to do with simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and
essential, so hidden in
plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to ke
ep reminding ourselves over and over: "This is water."” (Wallace 2005)

This paper is wholeheartedly dedicated to the
thirteen undergraduates who enriched our lives during the summer and fall
of 2014
by demonstrating how far education can go when, in spite of limitations,
there are motivation and inspiration!
Abstract:
We describe an effort to teach non-science majors’ general education
courses using the
SENCER paradigm, namely, to “strengthen student learning and interest in
the sciences, technology, engineering,
and mathematics by connecting course topics to issues of critical local,
national, and global importance.”
Key Words:
General Education courses, course redesign, STEM,
sciences, technology, engineering,
and mathematics, SENCER, life-long learning, complex problems, pragmatism,
STEM education,
higher education, civic engagement, cultural cognition, curriculum,
education, communication,
imagination, multidisciplinarity, high-impact educational practices

Dear Richard and SANETters:

Richard, will pass your kind message to the coauthors as, without their
hard work, the paper would not have been possible.

SANETters, please, feel free to distribute the link to the paper as you may
wish.

With gratefulness,

Jorge

  Folks,

It appears a version of the SENCER curriculum should be required for all
business majors and all junior execs for every incorporated entity. It may
not be extremely productive but at least they will be somewhat  aware of
the potential consequences of their actions and decisions, will not be able
to plead ignorance, and most importantly expose them to the apparently
foreign idea of ethical consciousness.  Kudos Jorge
