LIBERAL STUDIES STEM CONCENTRATION
MSTI was an integral partner in the development of a
$20,000 Bechtel grant to create a Liberal Studies STEM
Concentration unique in the CSU system. Core team:
faculty from Math and Science Education, Engineering,
Geology, and Physics. Concentration courses: Energy,
Technology, and Society; Environmental, Earth, and Life
Science; Physics Pedagogy and Outreach; and Engineering
Literacy. Foci: NGSS and CCSS. Support: Stipends, $$ for
professional travel, membership in prof. organizations,
faculty support for 25 conference presentations (2013-14).
SUPPORTING THE PRODUCTION OF MATH & SCIENCE TEACHERS
Since 2006, the Mathematics and Science
Teacher Initiative (MSTI) has actively supported
the recruitment and education of mathematics
and science teachers for Central Valley
classrooms through numerous programs and
partnerships. As a result, from AY 2006 to AY
2012, the number of math and science teachers
produced at Fresno State increased by 264%! à

PHYSICS PEDAGOGY AND OUTREACH COURSE
This amazing service learning course provides future
teachers with an opportunity to learn physics
concepts and “take the show on the road”! In Fall
2013, 40 different schools in 11 districts throughout
Central California were visited by the team, which
also appeared on local television programs and at a
number of Fresno State events. MSTI provides
stipends for students taking this course, as well as
media support, supplies, and outreach shirts.
