About the Department

Members of this newly formed department have the opportunity to establish an academic community focused on excellence in engineering and science education at all levels. The unique combination of engineering and science within the college, and the positive climate of cooperation across campus, facilitate dynamic cross-disciplinary collaboration in both research and instruction. Our faculty members contribute to the department's engineering and science education mission by conducting research in one or more of the following areas: active learning environments, the integration of technical research and undergraduate education, development of future engineering and science educators, and building curriculum-based K-12 outreach programs. They also teach in our General Engineering program for first- and second-year engineering students from all disciplines.
