Renee Clark is Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering, Data Engineer for the Swanson School, and Director of Assessment for the Engineering Education Research Center (EERC). She uses data analytics to study techniques and approaches in engineering education, with a focus on active learning techniques and the professional formation of engineers. Current NSF-funded research includes the use of adaptive learning in the flipped classroom and systematic reflection and metacognitive activities in the mechanical engineering classroom. Dr. Clark teaches Statistical Testing for industrial engineering undergraduates. She also serves as Associate Editor for Advances in Engineering Education. She has 30 years of experience as an engineer and IT analyst in industry and academia. She completed her post-doctoral studies in engineering education at the University of Pittsburgh.

Autar Kaw is a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of South Florida. He is a recipient of the 2012 U.S. Professor of the Year Award (doctoral and research universities) from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and the Carnegie Foundation for Advancement of Teaching. His primary scholarly interests are engineering education research, adaptive, blended, and flipped learning, open courseware development, composite materials mechanics, and higher education's state and future. His work in these areas has been funded by the National Science Foundation, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Florida Department of Transportation, and Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Funded by National Science Foundation, under his leadership, he and his colleagues from around the nation have developed, implemented, refined, and assessed online resources for open courseware in Numerical Methods (http://nm.MathForCollege.com). This courseware annually receives 1M+ page views, 1.6M+ views of the YouTube lectures, and 90K+ visitors to the "numerical methods guy" blog. This body of work has also been used to measure the impact of the flipped, blended, and adaptive settings on how well engineering students learn content, develop group-work skills, and perceive their learning environment. He has written more than 115 refereed technical papers, and his opinion editorials have appeared in the Tampa Bay Times, the Tampa Tribune, and the Chronicle Vitae.
