The National Science Foundation wants to know whether comics can be used to better assist students in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learn their subjects, and the organization is finding out through a fascinating grant given to Lucas “Luke” Landherr, a Distinguished Teaching Professor with Northeastern University’s College of Engineering.Dr. Landherr has been using comics in their work for a number of years, including the long-running “Drawn to Engineering” comic that appears in the peer-reviewed journal Chemical Engineering Education, drawn by one of Dr. Landherr’s former students, Monica Keszler (who is currently studying for a PhD in Germany), as well as the K-12 outreach comic, “The Wide World of Chemical Engineering,” and now we will see if Dr. Landherr’s faith in comics will be expressed in a widespread program.Dr. Landherr will create a series of comics for a core introductory chemical engineering class that will be taught not only at Northeastern, but also at five other partner institutions, all using the comics as part of the class, and the study will determine whether the grades in the classes that use the comics are better than the classes that do not use the comics.Flash Facts: Big Bang’s Mayim Bialik Merges Superheroes & STEM in New Trailer
