Advancing Knowledge
Research Agenda
The DeBoer Lab is motivated to understand how we can promote equity and success for diverse engineering students around the world. Specifically we are interested in:
International & Comparative Engineering education policy
What effects do local, national, and international engineering education policies have on the recruitment and training of diverse engineering students?
Social context and student background factors of Education
How do Individual (gender, race/ethnicity), Family (economic, socio-cultural status), and Institutional (classroom, school, community composition) factors intersect in the education of engineering students?
Technology use in providing learning opportunities for diverse students
Are there technologies that are effective in educating engineering students in low-resource contexts? What role do MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) play in reaching these students?.
