Research and scholarship in engineering education
CRLT in Engineering recognizes the importance of its role in furthering the mission of the College of Engineering to promote excellence in engineering education. The office supports the initiatives of colleagues in this area and works with instructors to develop scholarly investigations of teaching and learning and to plan rigorous research in engineering education. CRLT-Engin also conducts its own research, and each fall the office organizes a poster session at which faculty and graduate students display the results of their scholarship in engineering education. Some related engineering projects include:
