Mireille (Mimi) Boutin is an Associate Professor in Purdue’s School of Electrical and Computer Engineering with a courtesy appointment in the Department of Mathematics. Her past research accomplishments include the development of light-weight methods for language translation on mobile phones, food analysis tools for the treatment of the inherited metabolic disease phenylketonuria, and improved document processing methods for the printing industry. Her current areas of research include signal processing, big data, and various applied mathematics problems motivated by engineering applications. In particular, she is interested in high-dimensional machine learning problems that stem from applications, including data analysis issues related to STEM education research. She created "Project Rhea,” a student-driven online learning project at www.projectrhea.org. She is a three-time recipient of Purdue’s Seed for Success Award. She is also a recipient of the Eta Kappa Nu Outstanding Faculty Award, the Eta Kappa Nu Outstanding Teaching Award and the Wilfred “Duke” Hesselberth Award for Teaching Excellence.
Abstract
Our project is an interdisciplinary study aiming to understand engineering students “habits of mind”, which are modes of thinking required for STEM students to become effective problem solvers. After presenting the goals of our project and the context of our study, we summarize our initial progress and our proposed framework. This is a work in progress.
