In design-basedresearch (DBR), scholars are striving to model how the design of a learning environment isconsequential for the forms of participation and engagement that emerge in that setting (e.g.design conjectures) [38]. Additionally DBR scholars seek to build claims about how those formsof participation and engagement lead to particular outcomes (e.g. theoretical conjectures) [38].To state this more

The widespread use of AM technologies has resulted in alack of DfAM principles, process guidelines, and standardization of the best practices [6].DfAM can be classified in three different

This project seeks to design and test innovative graduate education models.The goal of the first phase is for students to embark on a cyber-physical systems (CPS) orproduct lifecycle management (PLM) topic and in partnership with experts and faculty mentorsdevelop two online educational modules that describe an application-oriented view of CPS andPLM. In the second phase of this research, these modules will be integrated in existingundergraduate or first-year graduate courses at four different institutions (2 SUs

These diverse experiences and a growing passion for improving engineering education prompted me to change career paths and become a scholar of engineering education. As an educator, I am committed to challenging my students to uncover new perspectives and dig deeper into the context of the societal problems engineering is intended to solve. As a scholar, I seek to not only contribute original theoretical research to the field, but work to bridge the theory-to-practice gap in engineering education by serving as an ambassador for empirically driven educational
