Research Experiences
Engineering Education Research Center scholars are developing practices that engage undergraduate students, high school teachers, and community college teachers in engineering research experiences. Participants in research activity learn about engineering by conducting research and by developing publications that present findings to others.
Research experiences expand engineering literacy, engineering appreciation, and communication skills of participants.These experiences lead to advanced study in engineering and to improved curricular materials in secondary and higher education.
