Juan David Ortega-Alvarez works in engineering education, focusing on how engineering students learn and how courses can be designed and taught more effectively. His work covers topics like project-based learning, first-year engineering design courses, concept inventories (tools to measure student understanding), and the use of generative AI in teaching, often studying classroom or program-level interventions and student experiences.
Output was modest and uneven from 2017-2023 with some gap years, but activity increased sharply in 2024-2025, suggesting a recent growth phase in publication activity.
