This National Science Foundation STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award in the amount of $279,966 to Lewis & Clark College will develop and disseminate interactive, inquiry-driven teaching simulations covering four major medical imaging modalities - ultrasound, radiography, nuclear imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The modules will be designed for use in undergraduate STEM courses to enhance student engagement, learning, and retention by illustrating the scientific foundations and applications of these key medical imaging techniques. The project team will integrate the educational modules at two institutions, assess their impact, and make the resources openly available to support relevant teaching communities. The award also includes a research component to explore how the modules influence STEM majors' attitudes about interdisciplinary science and interest in science careers spanning traditional discipline boundaries.
