inspired the focus of her research and academic work: how we learnthe psychology of writing and creating. She has presented on this topic in professional meetings and academic venues. From 2005-2010 she collaborated with Dr. John Schmeelk on a five-year series of studies that revolutionized the teach- ing of Contemporary Mathematics at VCUQatar. Results from these studies have been presented in Abu Dhabi and Qatar, as well as at previous annual meetings of ASEE.

American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 A longitudinal study on students' development and transfer of the concept of integrationAbstract: We present results from the first two years of a project investigating how engineeringstudents develop problem solving skills through their academic career. The project consists of alongitudinal study as well as cross-sectional studies in multiple courses in mathematics, physicsand engineering. In this article, we focus on the transfer of knowledge from mathematics tophysics courses. We track how students' understanding of function and integration evolves asthey progress through the Calculus courses using individual semi-structured interviews. Moststudents develop a
