2015 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition

1. Dr. Stephen J Krause Arizona State University [biography]

   Stephen Krause is professor in the Materials Science Program in the Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State University. He teaches in the areas of introductory materials engineering, polymers and composites, and capstone design. His research interests include evaluating conceptual knowledge, misconceptions and technologies to promote conceptual change. He has co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory and a Chemistry Concept Inventory for assessing conceptual knowledge and change for introductory materials science and chemistry classes. He is currently conducting research on NSF projects in two areas. One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback with support from internet tools and resources affect conceptual change and associated impact on students' attitude, achievement, and persistence. The other is on the factors that promote persistence and success in retention of undergraduate students in engineering. He was a coauthor for best paper award in the Journal of Engineering Education in 2013.

2. Dr. Dale R Baker Arizona State University [biography]

   Dale Baker is a science educator, Her research focuses on equity issues as well as teaching and learning in science and engineering. She is a fellow of the American Educational Research Association and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She was the 2013 recipient of the NARST distinguished Contributions to Science Education Through Research award. This is the most prestigious award given by this international science education organization.

3. Dr. Terry L. Alford Arizona State University [biography]

   Dr. Alford holds the rank of professor in the School for the Engineering of Matter, Transport, and Energy. He currently integrates JTF tools and concepts into his on-line course delivery.

4. Dr. Casey Jane Ankeny Arizona State University [biography]

   Casey J. Ankeny, PhD is lecturer in the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering at Arizona State University. Casey received her bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Virginia in 2006 and her doctorate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University in 2012 where she studied the role of shear stress in aortic valve disease. Currently, she is investigating cyber-based student engagement strategies in flipped and traditional biomedical engineering courses. She aspires to understand and improve student attitude, achievement, and persistence in student-centered courses.

5. Dr. Adam R Carberry http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0041-7060 Arizona State University [biography]

   Dr. Adam Carberry is an assistant professor at Arizona State University in the Fulton Schools of Engineering Polytechnic School. He earned a B.S. in Materials Science Engineering from Alfred University, and received his M.S. and Ph.D., both from Tufts University, in Chemistry and Engineering Education respectively. Dr. Carberry was previously an employee of the Tufts’ Center for Engineering Education & Outreach and manager of the Student Teacher Outreach Mentorship Program (STOMP).

6. Dr. Milo Koretsky Oregon State University [biography]

   Milo Koretsky is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Oregon State University. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from UC San Diego and his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, all in Chemical Engineering. He currently has research activity in areas related engineering education and is interested in integrating technology into effective educational practices and in promoting the use of higher-level cognitive skills in engineering problem solving. His research interests particularly focus on what prevents students from being able to integrate and extend the knowledge developed in specific courses in the core curriculum to the more complex, authentic problems and projects they face as professionals. Dr. Koretsky is one of the founding members of the Center for Lifelong STEM Education Research at OSU.

7. Dr. Bill Jay Brooks Oregon State University [biography]

   Bill Brooks is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the School of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University. As an undergraduate he studied hardware, software, and chemical engineering. He ultimately received his Ph.D. from Oregon State University in Chemical Engineering. He is currently interested in the development of technology to study and promote STEM learning.

8. Dr. Cindy Waters North Carolina A&T State University [biography]

   Dr. Cynthia Waters is an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering and she specializes in porous metals for biological and transportation applications, and engineering education. Dr. Waters’ research expertise is in the creation and characterization of metallic foams and porous metals for the future of applications ranging from space exploration to biomedical implants. These metals display a high density to strength ratio and improved ability for energy absorption, which leads to usefulness in many applications. She gets excited in a classroom whether introductory or advanced courses and she has been told that she can make a difficult concept seem easy and that her excitement is contagious Waters believes that we must become ‘facilitators of learning’. She works alongside the students to groom their own metacognative processes and help produce a lifelong learner. Several of her currently funded NSF grant deal with facets of engineering education. These include areas of assessment studies of classroom material science pedagogical implementations; case studies in various engineering disciplines and; engineering faculty barriers to adopt evidence-based (or nontraditional) teaching methods.
