I plan to use my education to impact what we know about effective engineering education and how to use that to provide students a better educational experience. My goal is to learn how to excite and prepare students to engage in the engineering profession in a variety of ways within the constraints and challenges of the world.

I plan to study the best ways for engineering education; research the impacts of the new ways; and promote and implement the new methods/ideas.
—Jien-Jou Lin

I plan to make a difference by conducting research in engineering education about teaching and learning methods to improve how students learn. As a professional, I will work with undergraduate engineering students to promote their successful academic and professional development. I also will hold exciting outreach programs to encourage K-12 students and underrepresented groups to enter engineering.

I plan to make a difference by getting involved with engineering education reform, changing how engineering education is taught from the inside.

I have been an educator for almost ten years, and I have seen many students. I've been involved in some innovative ventures, all with the goal of helping students to succeed. I feel that any student with an interest in engineering and a good work ethic should have every advantage to succeed in an environment where they can thrive, and I don't want to see any bright, creative student leave engineering. We put some of the constraints upon ourselves, insisting that education methods sometimes remain unchanged ("That's the way we did it when I was in school"). I think it's time to ask ourselves how to educate students to the best of our ability, as efficiently as possible, and in a way that will allow the students to succeed to the best of their ability.

We need to look at technology in the classroom to be sure we use technology that our students demand, and that we use it properly. We also shouldn't constrain ourselves to a semester lecture-and-lab format, instead looking at innovative delivery methods and schedules. We also know a lot about how people learn, learning styles, and a new generation of multitasking student - we need to study how to best reach all students. I will do my best to innovate the engineering education process at both a department and school level, and be sure to transfer what I learn to new faculty entering the profession. I truly want all of my students to succeed to the best of their ability, and I'll continue to try to deliver on that goal.

Provide an experienced based perspective to the research and course innovation under way.
—Mary Pilotte

Get involved into engieering faculty training, re-designing engineering program
—Junqiu Wang

Through research, I hope to represent the undergraduate design process in a way that enables better instruction for laboratory courses. When I succeed, lab courses will be more productive and effective for students and instructors.
—Bethany Fralick

I plan to finish and work for a small engineering college somewhere in the Midwest or East Coast. I'd like to spend the rest of my days redesigning curricula and transcending my demographic.
