Carla Zoltowski works in engineering education, studying how engineers are trained and how curricula can better address ethics, diversity, inclusion, and human-centered design. Her research often examines service-learning and project-based programs, ethical decision-making in design teams, and efforts to make engineering education more inclusive for underrepresented and international students. This work is typically published in engineering education journals and conference proceedings rather than technical engineering venues.
