Board # 62 : Enhancing Engineering Student Learning in Foundational STEM Courses of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics: Transforming the Faculty Culture

Howard E. Jackson received the B.S. in Physics from the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY, in 1965 and the Ph.D. degree from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, in 1971. He is currently professor of Physics and Distinguished Teaching professor, at the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio where he has served as both vice president of Research and as University dean of the Graduate School. His current research, supported by the NSF, centers on the optical properties from semiconductor nanowires and the role to teaching innovations on student learning in the STEM disciplines. Before joining the University of Cincinnati, he was associated with McMaster University, and the University of Toronto, Canada. Dr. Jackson is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
