Beyond the Vanishing Point: Using Future Self Theory and Student-Alumni Interviews to Expand Student Perspectives on Engineering Education and Engineering Work

Abstract

She holds a Ph.D. in English, and her training in narrative theory, cultural studies, and rhetoric informs her teaching. Her teaching and scholarship foreground the concept of the citizen engineer and the formation of professional engineering identities. She developed and continues to work on Engineering Moment, a classroom-based podcast project about the social role of engineering, and Vision Venture, a co-curricular interactive video series exploring students' engineering identities, agency, and purpose after graduation.
