Research summary
AI-generated

Hoda Ehsan studies engineering and design education, particularly at the pre-college level, with a focus on how children—including autistic children and gifted students—engage in engineering design thinking, coding, and biologically inspired design activities. Recent work also explores parent-child interactions in learning technologies, generative AI in design education, and accessibility in instrument design. The research combines classroom studies, teacher professional development, and curriculum design to understand and improve how young learners approach engineering problems.
