  • When life happened, KSU grad found opportunities

    The last thing Kianni James ever expected was to develop a passion for data analytics. But when she returned to college after taking time off to work and raise her son, she was surprised to learn how much successful businesses rely on data to guide their decision-making. It soon became her dream to become a data analyst – a dream she recently accomplished. James graduated in May with a degree in information systems from the Michael J. Coles College of Business with a minor in applied statistics.

  • KSU Researchers Receive NSF Grant to Expand Efforts Around 3D Teaching Aids

    For the past two years, Kennesaw State University researcher Ayse Tekes, along with a team of undergraduates, has been working to find a solution to a common teaching challenge — how to improve student learning outcomes with limited resources. Tekes, assistant professor of mechanical engineering in KSU’s Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology (SPCEET), has been focusing her efforts on improving educational aids used to teach abstract concepts to mechanical engineering students during introductory courses. Now Tekes and Tris Utschig, director of scholarly teaching in KSU’s Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL), are taking the project to the next level. They received a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant – the first for Tekes – from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) Program, which supports research and development projects to create, explore and implement promising tools and practices in STEM education.  –  September 10, 2020
