track) award in September 2020.The primary focus of the RED project is to address program deficiencies through developingcourses to engage students earlier in the curriculum, integrating professional and advancedcomputational (i.e., applied artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics) skills,and revamping the sequence and structure of the curriculum with an overarching goal to enhancethe sense of belonging to the School, the major, and the profession. In addition, the School, inpartnership with three other programs at Georgia Tech, received a Kern EntrepreneurialEngineering Network (KEEN) grant from the Kern Family Foundation in March 2021 with theobjective to develop more holistic engineers with entrepreneurial mindset, which

At Rose-Hulman, Michelle is co-leading a project to infuse an entrepreneurial-mindset in undergraduate students’ learning, and a project to improve teaming by teaching psychological safety in engineering education curricula. Michelle also mentors undergraduate researchers to investigate the removal of stormwater pollutants in engineered wetlands. Michelle was a 2018 ExCEEd Fellow, and was recognized as the 2019 ASCE Daniel V. Terrell
