This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve curricula and teaching methods for strengthening undergraduate students' data analysis skills in solid earth geoscience courses. The $310,918 award to Carleton College, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, will support the development of upper-level teaching modules focused on using advanced data analysis techniques to explore the mechanical behavior of the solid earth. The project also plans to lead faculty professional development to enhance data-centric teaching approaches for solid earth courses. The goals are to create teaching materials for investigating solid earth geoscience problems with a focus on data analysis skills, facilitate faculty training on integrating data-rich teaching activities, and evaluate the impact on students' confidence in data analysis. The project is expected to benefit approximately 30-40 instructors and over 400 students during the award period.
