Research summary
AI-generated

Emily Dringenberg studies how engineering students, faculty, and K-12 students think about intelligence, ability ('smartness'), and design decision-making, and how these beliefs relate to diversity, equity, and inclusion in engineering education. Her work combines interviews, surveys, and classroom observation to understand belief systems and to design interventions (such as growth-mindset programs) that aim to broaden participation in engineering and computing fields. This research is aimed at improving how engineering is taught and who feels welcome and capable within it.
