Research summary
AI-generated

Brent Jesiek studies the human and social dimensions of engineering practice and education, including engineering ethics, moral reasoning, workplace culture, intercultural adaptation, and the transition from engineering school into professional careers. Much of the work uses qualitative and mixed-methods approaches to understand how engineers develop ethical judgment, navigate organizational culture, and learn on the job. This research is aimed at improving how engineering ethics and professional skills are taught and supported in both academic and workplace settings.
