2011 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition

1. Nicole R. Weber Purdue University [biography]

   She is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. She received her B.S. degree in Ecology, Evolution and Behavior from the University of Minnesota, St. Paul. At the University of Massachusetts, Boston, she received her Ph.D. in Environmental Biology with an emphasis in Science Education. Her current research is working in “sustainable engineering” education, creating awareness of engineering as a “caring” discipline. A discipline where engineers incorporate the ecological footprint into their design, keeping in mind related social and ecological impacts.

2. Melissa Dyehouse Purdue University [biography]

   Melissa Dyehouse is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Institute for P-12 Engineering Research and Learning (INSPIRE). She received her M.S.Ed. and Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from Purdue University with a focus on educational research methodology and assessment. Her research at INSPIRE focuses on the learning and teaching of engineering as a "caring" discipline in the context of environmental and ecological concerns.

3. Constance A Harris Purdue University [biography]

   She is a doctoral candidate in the College of Education at Purdue University. She received her B.S. degree in Political Science from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. In addition, she earned M.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies from DePaul University located in Chicago, Illinois, and a M.A. in Communication Studies from Purdue University, Calumet located in Hammond, Indiana. Currently, she works as a research assistant in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research interests include teacher belief systems, web 2.0 technologies, and problem-based learning.

6. Inez Hua Purdue University [biography]

   Inez Hua is a Professor in the School of Civil Engineering the Division of Environmental and
   Ecological Engineering. She is also an Associate Director of the Global Engineering Program.

7. Johannes Strobel Purdue University, West Lafayette [biography]

   Johannes Strobel is Director of INSPIRE, Institute for P-12 Engineering Research and Learning and Assistant Professor of Engineering Education & Educational Technology at Purdue University. After studying philosophy, religious studies and information science at three universities in Germany, he received his M.Ed. and Ph.D. (2004) in Learning Technologies from the University of Missouri-Columbia, USA. NSF, SSHRC, FQRSC, and several private foundations fund his research. His research and teaching focuses on the intersection between learning, engineering, the social sciences, and technology, particularly sustainability, designing open-ended problem/project-based learning environments, social computing/gaming applications for education, and problem solving in ill-structured/complex domains.
