Igor
M. Verner received his M.S. degree in Mathematics from the Urals
State University (1975) and a Ph.D. in computer-aided design
systems in manufacturing from the Urals Polytechnical Institute
(1981), Sverdlovsk, Russia. He is a certified teacher of mathematics
and technology in Israel.
Dr. Verner is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Education
in Technology and Science, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.
His research interests include experiential learning and E-learning,
computational geometry, robotics, design, spatial vision development,
mathematics in engineering and architecture education.
He supervised the M.S. and Ph.D. studies of Sarah Maor, completed
at the Technion in 2000 and 2005, in which architecture college
courses "Calculus with applications" and "Mathematical
Aspects of Architectural Design" were developed, implemented,
and evaluated. Results of the studies were described in the papers
published in the International Journal of Mathematics Education
in Science and Technology (2001 and 2005), and in the NNJ
(2003). The studies were presented at the International Conference
on Applications and Modelling in Mathematics Education in London
(2005). In Fall 2005 Dr. Verner worked as a visiting professor
at the Tufts University and in January 2006 as a visiting scholar
at the University of California, Berkeley. He gave talks on mathematics
in architecture education at the Tufts MSTE Program seminar and
at the Harvard Mathematics Education Seminar Series.
