She earned a NSF CAREER award and was nominated for Michigan Professor of the Year in 2014. Research within her Medical micro-Device Engineering Research Laboratory (M.D. – ERL) also inspires the development of Desktop Experiment Modules (DEMos) for use in chemical engineering classrooms or as outreach ac- tivities in area schools (see www.mderl.org).

The authenticinvolvement activities expose the student to real situations with totally open-endedprojects, although the faculty may influence the selection of the situations and setperformance criteria to assure that positive learning objectives are met. Authenticinvolvements use outside clients while simulations use experimental laboratories,guided design, or case studies. In an article in 2006, Davis et al.

In particular, we haveweaknesses in the field of Mathematics, this a common problem in Latin American engineeringprograms12 that in our opinion does not receives enough attention. In our case, since 2005 wehave put in place a collaboration with a French University (INSA-Lyon), oriented at reinforcingteaching and learning practices on Engineering Mathematics.
