Undergraduate Research Assistant
I am researching student, faculty, and industrial perceptions of ethics education. I ask questions like:
- Do students feel like ethics lessons will be relevant for their career?
- How should faculty integrate ethics instruction alongside an already demanding technical curriculum?
- What do employers in industry expect of new hires with regards to their ethical awareness and decision-making?
Through answering these questions, I hope to reveal how attitudes towards ethics education can inform educators in embedding ethics into their engineering curricula.
Fun fact: I am a huge history nerd! I love digging into humorous and unusual moments from the past and sharing them with others.
