Teaching engineers to put people first
By comparing two disciplines, researchers will discover effects on inclusion and how students think about engineering.
Written by: Gabe Cherry
Does the way that educators talk about engineering influence who chooses to enter the field? A University of Michigan research team is asking that question in a $1.5 million project funded by the National Science Continue Reading »
Dr. Lisa Lattuca, along with colleagues from the College of Engineering Dr. Shanna Daly, Dr. Joi-Lynn Mondisa, and postdoctoral researcher Dr. Erika Mosyjowski, will investigate how engineering curricula and instruction represent engineering practice and how these representations align with students’ values and interests to affect their sense of belonging and intentions to persist in the field.
While much scholarship on engineering education has focused on the composition of engineering communities and how to support students academically and socially to encourage enrollment and retention in the field, fewer studies have examined how the content of engineering courses shapes students’ understanding of the field and their place in it. This project will study Continue Reading »
Eglash awarded NSF grant to study how technology can empower artisan communities
WEDNESDAY, 11/10/2021
While technologies like artificial intelligence are often developed by large corporations, emerging technology can also be applied to help with small-scale artisan work that is often environmentally friendly, community-driven, and locally owned.
A new research project co-led by Ron Eglash, professor at University of Michigan’s School of Information and Penny W. Stamps Continue Reading »
