Analysis of Design Process Knowledge Task Responses: Statistical Approaches to Uncover Patterns (Research)

Monica E. Cardella is an Associate Professor of Engineering Education at Purdue University and the Director of Informal Learning Environments Research for INSPIRE (the Institute for P-12 Engineering Research and Learning). She has a BSc in Mathematics from the University of Puget Sound and an MS and PhD in Industrial Engineering from the University of Washington. Her research focuses on: parents’ roles in engineering education; engineering learning in informal environments; engineering design education; and mathematical thinking in engineering.
