Chemical Engineering Active Learning Initiative Postdoctoral Scholar in Engineering Education
The Robert Frederick Smith School of Chemical and
Biomolecular Engineering (CBE) is seeking a highly motivated and talented
individual to join our Active Learning Initiative (ALI) team as a Postdoctoral
Researcher in Engineering Education. This position is part of an exciting
project aimed at deconstructing the existing Unit Operations Laboratory course
and developing new inquiry-based learning modules to be embedded across the
curriculum to achieve our vision of making the School a “living laboratory.”
The postdoctoral scholar will work directly with Professor Allison Godwin, a
tenured engineering education faculty member in CBE. The impacts of this change
will be studied using both qualitative and quantitative tools to understand how
active and open-ended problem-solving throughout the curriculum affects student
learning, identities as engineers, motivation, and career pathways.
