Nicole Pitterson conducts research in engineering education, focusing on how students learn core engineering concepts (such as electric circuits and engineering mechanics) and how instructors teach them. Her work examines classroom practices, instructional tools, and student experiences to improve teaching in first-year and upper-level engineering courses. Much of this research involves studying student learning across different countries, institutions, and educational contexts, including efforts to make engineering education more inclusive.
