My research is in the discipline of engineering education. I perform mixed-methods analyses in areas related to curriculum development, project-based learning, and retention. Since I oversee the first-year programs and teach in the Instrumentation Control Systems Engineering Technology discipline, the curriculum and classrooms for these programs are my labs. The innovative practices conducted in these programs help to provide a large testbed for supporting and informing my research.
