Greg Kremer's page on Education
v I believe that the
best educational experiences are relational, experiential, integral and
reflective.
v I agree that
“modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers,
and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses” [Pope
Paul VI]
v I believe that a
University education should support the ideal stated in the inscription
on Ohio University's Alumni Gate:
”So
enter that daily thou mayest grow in knowledge,
wisdom and love.
So depart that daily thou mayest better serve thy
fellowmen, thy country and thy God."
v I believe that
“teaching” encompasses not only what goes on inside the classroom
but all things that add to the students’ learning experience, so I
spend more time trying to develop
meaningful learning activities and providing formative feedback
than on traditional teacher-centered activities like lectures and
discussions.
v I also believe that the following quote
from Albert Einstein applies to education:
“Everything should be made as
simple as possible, but not simpler”.

Engineering
Education Research
I am interested in service learning,
integrative education, educational outcomes and assessment,
and the development and assessment of professional skills in undergraduate
engineering programs.
In 2005-2006 I was given the opportunity to work with a great group of
scholars on integrative learning.
My individual project (which is ongoing) was to integrate aspects of
"How-to-Be" an engineer with the traditional focus on
"How-to-do" engineering.
The project title was
"Integrating Professional Skills with
Engineering Identity: Using Performance Reviews in
Capstone Design Courses to Help Students Value, Understand and Develop Professional
Skills".
