Featured Mentor
Dr. Vern Lindberg, Physics

For the past several years, Dr. Lindberg has been researching and implementing an activities-based calculus-based physics sequence at RIT, based on a similar course at NC State. Based on Physics Education Research, Dr. Lindberg's Team Physics course was implemented across a department of 25 in winter 2003-04. The course makes use of small-group learning, and is technology intensive, using Vernier Lab Pros, Interactive Physics, and Video Analysis (now within Logger Pro) as well as pencil and paper activities. The course meets for 2 hours of lecture and 5 hours of workshop per week.

Other recent research of Dr. Lindberg's has been in the area of metallurgical thin films, using reactive sputter deposition of materials like TiN onto tool bits in order to extend the lifetime of the tool bit.
