Research summary
AI-generated

Lakshmy Mohandas studies how different classroom formats—especially flexible and hybrid ('HyFlex') and online/flipped models—affect student learning, motivation, and psychological well-being, largely within engineering and design thinking courses. Recent work also looks at student use of AI tools and how active, technology-supported learning environments influence achievement goals and academic performance. This research is aimed at improving how introductory engineering and design courses are taught, particularly in large, active-learning classrooms.
