A team of Bentley undergraduate students headed to Captiol Hill to canvas congressional leaders about implementing a new “Energy 101” curriculum aimed at teaching basic energy principles at U.S. colleges and universities.
Bentley is highlighted as a university that is rewarding faculty for innovative teaching, such as Assistant Professor of Natural and Applied Sciences, David Szymanki, who has students use science to solve real world problems.
Assistant Professor of Natural and Applied Sciences David Szymanski discusses how scientists can best communicate the effects of climate change to policymakers and the general public.
Professors David Szymanski and Rick Oches are credited with starting an innovative cross-course module that incorporates natural sciences, economics, political science and accounting with real-world problems to create a curriculum that shows students the importance of scientific literacy in business and society.
A group of Bentley University students teamed up with nonprofits Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and Consumers Union (CU) to survey consumer perceptions of energy codes, which are minimum requirements that builders must meet in order to ensure that homes comply with energy efficiency standards.
