LEAD is a research group in the Department of Multidisciplinary Engineering (MTDE) at Texas A&M University (TAMU with a focus on research and scholarship in Interdisciplinary Engineering Education.
As a group of interdisciplinary engineering education researchers, we examine learning and assessment in engineering disciplines through educational, psychological, physiological, sociological, and technological lenses.
The research group focuses into three primary areas:
Area 1: | Area 2: | Area 3: |
Designing, implementing, and measuring the effectiveness of emergent educational tools for students’ learning, assessment, and engagement |
Creating integrated STEM based learning environments using an interdisciplinary approach merging STEM disciplines through exposure to socially and culturally relevant contexts |
Assessing the impact of curriculum units, courses, programs, and instructional strategies on the cognitive, and non-cognitive factors of engineering students and professionals |
