Regular updates are hard…

Considering it has been over a year since I last posted, it is clear that my ability to regularly update this site is not great. Lots of exciting things happened in the last year, but I want to focus on just the news from the last month:

The article that Alexandra Strong, Darby Riley, Courtney Faber, and I wrote as part of our NSF RIEF grant came out in the Journal of STEM Education: Innovation and Research. We explored Engineering Education Guilds (KEEN and CPREE) in the context of the Designing for Sustained Adoption Instrument. You can check it out here: https://www.jstem.org/jstem/index.php/JSTEM/article/view/2586

I was also recently awarded a $1.5M NSF S-STEM grant with my Co-PIs Juan Cruz, Jess Everett, Stephanie Farrell, and Steven Chin entitled “Engineering Persistence: A Support System for Low Income Students to Catalyze Diversity and Success”. This grant will allow us to offer 4-year, $10,000 scholarships to academically talented, low income students who want to study engineering at Rowan.

2022 really felt like that year that my prior 8 years of hard work at Rowan came to fruition. I’m really looking forward to what the future brings!
