Research summary

John Mendoza-Garcia studies how engineering students learn and develop skills in design and problem-solving, with a particular focus on 'systems thinking' (the ability to see how parts of a complex problem connect and affect one another). His work looks at how courses and teaching methods, including online and flipped classroom formats, can be designed to build these skills in introductory engineering courses.
