ABOUT US

The Engineering Education Research (EER) Program at the University of Michigan follows a unique model. EER faculty are embedded within the traditional engineering departments, while EER graduate students are admitted to a college-wide program and are not affiliated with a specific department. This allows the EER faculty and their research to be well-integrated with the traditional engineering disciplines, provides students a better opportunity for research, and helps raise the profile of EER by diffusing the fruits of the scholarly work through the College of Engineering.
