Exposing and Challenging “Grit” in Physics Education

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In STEM education, grit is increasingly the focus of research, with scholars and educators seeking to develop and test interventions that will enhance persistence. As part of the special issue Centering Affect and Emotion Toward Justice and Dignity in Science Education, in this paper, we use interviews with 12 white physics faculty to show ...

Multiphysics Simulation Methods in Computer Graphics

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Physics simulation is a cornerstone of many computer graphics applications, ranging from video games and virtual reality to visual effects and computational design. The number of techniques for physically‐based modeling and animation has thus skyrocketed over the past few decades, facilitating the simulation of a wide variety of materials and ...
