He is investigating university-community engagement as empow- erment settings and working to further the research agenda of the global community of practice within Diversity and Inclusion in Engineering Education. His research laboratory aims to support an inclu- sive, global pipeline of STEM talent and to unify the needs of the engineering education stakeholders in order for engineering education to more accurately reflect societal needs. Diversity and inclusion, univer- sity/community engagement, informal learning, action research, and student led initiatives fall within the scope of his academic endeavors. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 A pilot study

, soilclassification, and includes eight laboratory experiments. The course content matches very wellwith the knowledge needed to produce a geotechnical report such as required at the Minka site.From the faculty members prior experience teaching the course, it was desired to have the lab bea more dynamic and formative experience for the students. To do this, the Soil Mechanics classincorporated the Minka site soil into the laboratory portion of the class. A formative approachwas taken to the individual labs that would all come together to produce a summative project of ageotechnical report of the Minka site.For the first lab and before ground was broken at the Minka sites by the contractor, studentscollected soil samples at various depths to determine the

She has published several papers on the characteristics of learning environments that support or constrain opportunities for any students (including those from non-dominant backgrounds) to participate in key science and engineering process skills such as scientific argumentation. Her work is largely informed by the principles and perspectives on human development and cognition articulated by Cultural Historical Activity Theory.
