Show Summary:

The STEM Space podcast is back! While Natasha jetted off to France during the break, Claire shuttled her kids around town, from swim practice to piano camp. Now, somewhat rejuvenated, we're thrilled to be back to talk all things STEM! In this episode, Natasha reflects on her first time teaching undergraduate pre-service students, while Claire shares a student question she will never answer. Plus, we tackle the topic of: Have we over-engineered the goals of engineering education?
