The Physics Education Research Lab is excited to announce the publication of Integrating Computing into the Undergraduate Physics Curriculum, a new edited volume led by Marcos (Danny) Caballero. The book is part of the IOP Series in Physics Education and brings together contributions from educators around the world who are reshaping physics instruction by embedding computation into teaching and learning.
Developed in response to growing interest in computational literacy across STEM fields, the volume features case studies, instructional strategies, curricular models, and examples of classroom-tested materials that help physics instructors meaningfully incorporate computation into their courses. Key themes include designing computational learning goals, supporting student engagement with modeling, and navigating institutional and curricular challenges.
Caballero—Lappan‑Phillips Professor at Michigan State University and co‑director of the Physics Education Research Lab—authored the opening and closing chapters, which frame the state of computational integration in physics and outline future directions for research and instruction. The introductory chapter is openly available through IOP.
The full book is now available through IOP Publishing. More details, including chapter summaries and contributor information, can be found on the project page.
