Dr Krause’s career in pure and applied research in industry began with high polymer synthesis, then polymeric resist materials for computer chips and eventually pushing the envelope in ultra fine line electron beam lithography in semiconductor processing. Dr. Krause was instrumental in formulating and implementing the first Statistical Process Control methodologies as applied to semiconductor manufacturing in the US in the early 1980’s. She retired from industry to teach full time in 1992 after several years of substitute teaching in between consulting assignments.
Dr. Krause's current major teaching and research interests are in individual differences in how people learn, think and make decisions. With her unique background in both research sciences and instructional design, she teaches introductory level courses in physical and earth sciences for education majors and others who prefer a “Scientific Literacy” approach to the lab science requirement.
PH SC 108, Introduction to Physical Sciences includes content coverage of Chemistry and Physics, with an emphasis on understanding the implications of developments in these sciences in everyday life. In addition to traditional instruction in content, students investigate current news stories and controversial topics for relevance and accuracy, learning to be critical consumers of news and discerning readers. Lab is required during the same semester.
PH SC 107, Introduction of Earth Sciences includes coverage of Geology and Astronomy, with additional topics in Meteorology and Oceanography. Again, in addition to traditional instruction in content, students read, research and debate current issues in the content area with an emphasis on discerning reality and facts from misinformation. Lab is required during the same semester.
Dr. Krause is not teaching classes at this time.
