"Models of Emotions and Learning"
Most educators recognize that affect and other motivational factors play a significant role in learning. But the relationship between emotions and learning has been difficult to model in a satisfactory scientific way. I will present some recent work on modeling the interplay of emotions and learning, with a view toward improving educational pedagogy.

"Teaching Engineering to Middle and High School Teachers"
"The Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Framework contains a significant amount of engineering related topics. There is a professional development need for K-12 teachers to become familiar with these topics. The UMass College of Engineering was requested to develop a course for middle and high school teachers to help meet this need. Our talk will cover the development and presentation of “Engineering for Classroom Teachers” which was taught in the summer of 2002."
