IDEAs in STEM Ed is a production of the IDEA Engineering Student Center at UC San Diego, which works to promote community, success, and inclusion at all levels. My name is Darren Lipomi, professor of nanoengineering and chemical engineering, and Faculty Director of the IDEA Center. The purpose of this podcast is to provide a forum for the discussion of innovative and inclusive approaches to teaching and mentoring, and to support the personal and academic flourishing and success of students in science and engineering.
