Her work also explores how principles of lean manufacturing facilitate energy-efficiency in the commercial building industry. Another research interest of Kristen’s is engineering education, where she explores how project- and experience-based learning foster better understanding of engineering and management principles. Prior to joining ASU, Kristen was at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) as a Postdoctoral Fellow (2009-11) and then a Scientific Engineering Associate (2011-2012) in the Building Technologies and Urban Systems Department.

to increased world-wide support to research and development, there has been atremendous growth in the scientific and engineering body of knowledge. Such knowledge allowsus to solve increasingly challenging and complex problems that cross the boundaries oftraditional disciplines. An efficient solution of such problems, however, requires the synergisticcombination of expertise in multiple areas. Consequently, students graduating from today’sengineering programs can no longer be competitive in tomorrow’s job market, by having astrong background only in their specific chosen areas of study. They need reasonably adequateexposure and background in relevant emerging areas as well. Only then, they will be equippedwith the necessary skills to quickly

It is hopedthat the “project-oriented” approach taken in the workshop/ESP classes can help address this important issue. 4.

In the past decade a university-level academic discipline, also somewhatambiguously called Information Technology (IT), has emerged. The academic discipline of ITfaces a number of challenges, including a shortage of educational academic resources; a recentlyemerged program definition; a very rapidly changing, complex technical discipline; instructionaldesigners with little training in instructional design; and an academic system that fails to

Why not introduce design earlier in engineering curricula?
