Science & Technology Roundtable
Featuring Faculty Brian Mohney, Ph.D., Paul Hyman, Ph.D., Selvanayaki Kolandapalayam Shanmugam, Ph.D. and Jeffrey Weidenhamer, Ph.D.Share
In this roundtable conversation, Ashland faculty from the Departments of Chemistry, Geology and Physics; Biology and Toxicology; and Mathematics and Computer Science reflect on what an undergraduate science education looks like when students do the work themselves, not just read about it.
Their discussion moves through hands-on access to more than $2.5 million in scientific instrumentation, undergraduate research that gets presented at national and international conferences, industry partnerships that put students in front of working scientists, and a curriculum that keeps pace with where their fields are going next. For students still asking what this pathway is really about, this is a window into the people and the process behind it.
