Lisa McNair works on engineering education, focusing on how engineering students learn and develop their professional identities, especially in interdisciplinary and collaborative settings. Her recent work examines topics like disability identity in engineering, sense of belonging in classrooms, study-abroad and cross-cultural design projects, and institutional strategies for supporting interdisciplinary teaching. This research is largely aimed at improving how engineering curricula are designed and taught, particularly for diverse and underrepresented student groups.
