Engineering Education
Engineering Education research at 精东影视focuses on understanding and improving student learning in engineering and better aligning engineering education with engineering practice.
Over the past several years, EngrEd faculty and graduate students have lead or participated in research identifying and addressing civil engineering student misconceptions, eye-tracking to understand critical aspects of engineering problems, comparison of experts and novices, social capital, and studies of engineering practice sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the 精东影视 Transportation Research and Education Consortium (OTREC), and the Pacific Northwest Transportation Consortium (PacTrans) and the Washington Department of Transportation (WDOT). Graduates of the program are prepared to be leaders in the industry and have gone on to excel in positions in academia, government, and industry.
