Session Description

Are you interested in getting more involved in Engineering Education Research beyond ASEE but are not sure how to take the first step? Are you interested in how to research student’s abilities to be Curious, Make Connections, Create Value for others? Do you want to explore what it means to have an Entrepreneurial Mindset (EM) but do not know where to begin? Questions and interests such as those just mentioned brought 28 faculty to a 4-day Engineering Unleashed Faculty Development workshop focused on EM Engineering Education Research and Scholarship (EERS) in Summer 2025. This panel will be modera ... (continued)

4. Tom Zajdel

   Carnegie Mellon University

   Tom Zajdel is an Assistant Teaching Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, where he investigates what motivates students to engage with electronics and engineering. His research applies expectancy-value theory and social cognitive frameworks to understand how diverse learners, particularly non-engineering majors, develop technological curiosity and connect engineering concepts to their own fields.

5. Dr. Yawen Li

   Lawrence Technological University

   Yawen Li is Associate Professor and Chair of Biomedical Engineering at Lawrence Technological University. Her research is in biomaterials, tissue engineering, and biomedical microdevices. She is passionate about involving students, especially undergraduates, in collaborative interdisciplinary research to enhance their learning.

6. Suman Saha

   Pennsylvania State University

   Suman Saha is an Assistant Teaching Professor in Computer Science and Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University. His research focuses on making computer science education more interactive, adaptive, and personalized through the use of artificial intelligence. He is also interested in developing innovative approaches to improve the trustworthiness and reliability of large language models by reducing hallucinations.
