Biography
Dr. Emily Faulconer serves within the Department of STEM Education. She developed the Environmental Science minor and has been involved with multiple course redesigns. She typically teaches Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Introduction to Research. She is a certified Chemical Hygiene Officer and maintains her HAZWOPER and RCRA training.
She always knew science was her future. As a young learner in a small one-room school, she would listen to the high school students’ science lessons instead of doing her reading, giving herself extra homework each night. She went on to earn a B.S. in Forensic Science from Virginia Commonwealth University. After briefly working as a Forensic Chemist, she pursued her passion in education, first teaching high school and then pursuing a Ph.D. in order to teach at the college level. She has been with ERAU since 2012 and with the Worldwide Campus since 2016.
Dr. Faulconer is actively involved in service to the University, her discipline, and the community. She serves as a founding member of the Academic Safety Committee. She serves on the Journal of College Science Teaching's Advisory Board. She serves as an elected Supervisor for the Alachua County Soil and Water Conservation District. She also participates in multiple volunteering activities in the community, including judging the state science fair, trail maintenance, and citizen science.
As a researcher, the goal of her research program is to leverage expertise in the scholarship of teaching and learning, scientific research, and safety in the translation of pedagogy and high-impact activities into practice in online education, with emphasis on undergraduate research. Current projects explore undergraduate research, safety culture, and community of inquiry presences.
Dr. Emily Faulconer is married to Michael Purcell. She enjoys time with her son and step-daughter. In her “spare time” she likes to be outside, whether she is on the mountain bike trails, out on her kayak, or simply working in the garden.
