Engineering Education
The engineering education research (EER) supergroup focuses on empirical and theoretical work related to multiple factors within engineering education at the macro-, meso-, and micro-level. Projects span large-scale investigations considering graduate school persistence and experiences of thriving as well as more specific design-based research projects in individual courses conducted to improve students' metacognition in thermodynamics learning and students' experiences leveraging immersive technologies in in machine design.
The EER supergroup also interfaces and collaborates with other departmental initiatives and committees such as undergraduate and graduate student support and professional development initiatives, equity and inclusion initiatives, curricular design and assessment, and other research supergroups.
