Homero is the leader of the Engineering Competencies, Learning, and Inclusive Practices for Success (ECLIPS) Lab where he leads a team focused on doing research on contemporary, cultur- ally relevant, and inclusive pedagogical practices, emotions in engineering
goal is to bridge the engineering competency gap between industry demand and academic fulfillment. A global engineer and researcher, Tahsin is an advocate and ally for better inclusion in STEM and beyond.Andrea Schuman, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Andrea is a PhD student in Engineering Education at Virginia Tech. She holds an M.S. degree in Elec- trical Engineering from Virginia Tech and B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma. Her research interests include global engineering and teaching in ECE.Dr. Homero Murzi, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Dr. Homero Murzi (he/´el/his) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Education at
Zhu. She is interested in integrating the arts and engineering to foster compassion, diversity, justice, democracy, and peace in a global context. Her research interest broadly covers international comparative research on innovation, teaching, and learning in engineering education. Her primary research methodology is qualitative, drawing heavily on interviews, focus groups, and narrative techniques. She is also adept in mixed-method approaches and quantitative methods, including NLP progress and data clustering.Dr. Homero Murzi, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Dr. Homero Murzi (he/´el/his) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech with honorary
Engineering at the University of Dayton. He received his B.Eng. in Chemical Engineering at UCA in El Salvador. He obtained his M.S. from Clemson University and his Ph.D. from Mississippi State University, both in Chemical Engineering. His laboratory research involves nanotechnology in chemical and biological pro- cesses. His educational research interests are community-based learning, open-ended laboratory experi- ments, teamwork, collaborative and active learning, and Transport Phenomena computational modeling.Dr. Homero Murzi, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Dr. Homero Murzi (he/´el/his) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech.
