Research summary
AI-generated

Molly Goldstein's research focuses on engineering education, particularly how students learn and practice design thinking, including newer areas like generative design and the use of generative AI tools in design work. Her work also examines international and collaborative learning experiences, such as study-abroad programs and online international collaborations, as ways to build engineering students' design and teamwork skills. This research combines qualitative methods with engineering curriculum development to understand and improve how students are taught to solve open-ended design problems.
