Welcome

The engineering education research CLUSTER (Collaborative Lounge for Understanding Society and Technology) led by Dr. Nadia Kellam and Dr. Joachim Walther is a trans-disciplinary, collaborative group at the University of Georgia that focuses on engineering education research.

We use interpretive research methods to investigate diverse aspects of this exciting, young field and build on the results of this research to push the boundaries and transform engineering curricular and teaching practice in our engineering programs.

Our work in engineering education research, which includes students as partners in research projects, is based on an enjoyable, supportive and personally meaningful environment that emerges from our trans-disciplinary, dynamic process of mutual learning and shared discovery.
