researchcollaborations with faculty at other institutions, and I stopped collaborating with faculty in myhome department of civil/environmental engineering. Juggling two research areas(environmental engineering and engineering education) was stressful. After narrowly beingawarded promotion to full professor despite having “two glasses half full” I finally receivedadvice from our (new) civil engineering department chair to follow my passion. So, I fullycommitted myself to educational research. I gave up my laboratory space. I have at timesstruggled with my new identity - I was once the skilled environmental engineering labresearcher. No longer.I have been on a journey to learn ‘how people learn’ and how to conduct educational research. Ilove learning new things
