He works closely with researchers in STEM to pursue high quality of STEM education for future researchers. He is currently participating in an NSF-funded grant (#1923452) to spearhead research into middle school students’ digital literacies and assessment. Recently, Dr. Hsu has received a seed grant at UML to investigate how undergradu- ate engineering students’ digital inequalities and self-directed learning characteristics (e.g., self-efficacy) affect their learning outcomes in a virtual laboratory environment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mathematics will provide an overview of the salientmath topics most heavily used in the core physics and engineering courses. Students will learn tosolve problems from engineering applications using mathematical concepts ranging from algebrato differential equations. Examples from the first two years of engineering coursework are solvedin class and explored in corresponding laboratory experiments. The objective of this course is toprovide an engineering context for subsequent courses in mathematics. Intended for studentsprior to taking Calculus I.GNEN 1800 Engineering Applications of Mathematics was developed as part of an NSF-fundedconsortium to adopt and assess the Wright State Model for Engineering MathematicsEngineering.

The leveraging of past experiences for goal setting and identity integration expands previous results found in engineering identity literature.1In-depth analysis of early results suggests that the development of a successful ‘graduate studentengineer’ identity relies heavily on the integration of existing, deeply-entrenched identities
