Research interests: Sid’s research focuses on areas such as systems thinking, engineering problem solving, intercultural learning, and developing competencies and skills of engineers to meet the needs of the industry and society.
|
Research interests: Anne's research interests center around the experiences of working and caretaking students in engineering-for-transfer programs at community colleges, and the institutional support structures that help these students persist to careers in engineering.
|
Research Interests: Sage's research focus is on disabled student experiences in postsecondary engineering coursework, and how institutional systems interact with disabled students.
|
Research Interests: David's current research interests include undergraduate research experiences, model-based reasoning in electromagnetics, teaching sociotechnical aspects of electronic circuits, and computational bioelectromagnetics.
|
Research Interests: Lexy’s research interests surround global engineering impacts, early career engineers and developing competencies to bridge the academia-industry gap.

Dr. Davis's Advising Approach
Challenge and Support – I will support you in finding the resources you need and to challenging you to grow as an educator and a researcher.
Feedback – One of the biggest ways we can challenge and support each other is through detailed and growth-focused feedback. Growth Mindset – I view every experience as an opportunity to learn and encourage students working with me to do this as well. As a mentor, I will work to build in opportunities for reflection. Apprenticeship – In a Ph.D., you learn by doing, where you start with more support and gradually over time shift to having more responsibility. |
