AC 2010-543: AN INITIAL ANALYSIS OF STUDENT ENGAGEMENT WHILELEARNING ENGINEERING VIA VIDEO GAMEBrianno Coller, Northern Illinois University Brianno Coller is an Associate Professor of Mechanical engineering. He started his research career applying fairly deep mathematical ideas to gain insight into how complex physical and engineering systems work. His work was theoretical and somewhat abstract. Since then, his research has evolved toward studying a different type of complex system: how students learn and become excited about engineering. In this endeavor, Dr. Coller is mostly a "nuts & bolts" practitioner, an engineer, and an experimentalist.David Shernoff, Northern Illinois University
