Summary
Adam Kirn is an associate professor in the College of Engineering. His research focuses on connecting students' motivations w88 casino gamestoward long-term goals and their actions in engineering through the use of mixed methods techniques. Specifically, he is examining actions in engineering teams to create inclusion, graduate education to improve educational training, and K-12 environments that increase engineering interest. The results of this work can help practitioners understand how students filter and use current information w88 casinobased on their future goals, and guide practices to help students connect class content to their goals and become inclusive practitioners.
