Background

About Pat White

With over 25 years of experience as a science teacher and 12 years as a professor of physics and mathematics, I am a passionate and dedicated STEM educator and consultant. I hold a Masters in Physics from the University of Virginia and a BS in Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering from Rutgers University, giving me a solid foundation in theoretical and applied science and math. At Georgian Court University, I design and deliver engaging lectures and laboratory activities for physics, calculus, and algebra courses. I help students understand and apply concepts from different science and math fields. I also create and disseminate innovative curricula and resources that align with the Next-Generation Science Standards and incorporate technology and hands-on learning, such as computational modeling, CAD, and computer-based lab equipment. Additionally, I have collaborated with the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division as a learning consultant engineer. I developed, tested, and published a book of science activities for grade school students, shared best practices with teachers worldwide, and contributed to the training and procuring of critical mission components. My goal is to inspire and empower students to pursue STEM careers and appreciate the beauty and relevance of science and math in everyday life.
