Research summary
AI-generated

Kayla Maxey's work focuses on engineering education, particularly how engineering students and faculty develop their professional identities, and on diversity and equity practices within engineering programs. Her research often uses qualitative and reflective methods, including autoethnography (a method where the researcher analyzes their own experiences as data), to examine these processes. This work would suit students interested in the social and cultural dimensions of engineering training rather than technical engineering research itself.
