Benjamin Ahn

Benjamin Ahn's work focuses on engineering education, examining how engineering students, faculty, and practicing engineers learn to solve complex, poorly defined ('ill-structured') problems and how new engineers transition from university into the workplace, particularly in aerospace and civil engineering. His research also addresses diversity, equity, and inclusion issues in engineering education, such as the experiences of women and non-native English speakers in doctoral programs. This work is generally aimed at improving engineering curricula and better preparing students for engineering careers.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, with a notable spike in 2020, a dip around 2022-2023, and a resurgence in 2024-2025.
