Dr. Weinburgh teaches courses in the College of Education, the College of Science and Engineering, and the Andrews Institute of Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education

College of Education
Undergraduate Courses
Scientific & Mathematical Thinking: Science  (EDEC 30014) is designed to help students majoring in elementary education become better at teaching science. The course is blocked with two other courses (Scientific & Mathematical Thinking: Science: Math and Scientific & Mathematical Thinking: Science: Play). Field placements in elementary schools and experiences at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History allow the students to work with elementary pupils.  

Directed Study (EDUC 50870) is designed to give a student the opportunity to extend his/her knowledge in a specific area in a way that is most suited to the student and/or the discipline. 

Graduate Courses
The School of Education now offers a MEd in Science Education and a Ph.D. in Educational Studies: Science Education.  Dr. Weinburgh is the contact person for both of these programs. 
Colloquia in the Profession of Science Education (EDUC 70013)
Scientific Inquiries and Nature of Science (EDUC 70033)
Research Seminar: Topics in Science Education (EDUC 60810)
Theory and Pedagogy in Science Teaching (EDUC 60333)
Internship (EDUC 60980)
Dissertation (EDUC 90980)

College of Science & Engineering
Contemporary Issues in Biology (BIOL 10003), designed by Dr. Ray Drenner and taught by four faculty members in the department of biology, is for non-biology majors. The focus is on current issues (human genome, cloning, stem cell research, AIDS, antibiotic resistance, biological warfare, global warming) and the underlying biological concepts (molecular and cellular biology, evolution, genetics, energy/matter flow) related to them.  

Institute of Mathematics, Science, & Technology Education
The Institute conducts classes for teachers each term.  The offerings are posted on the web site each term.
