Research summary
AI-generated

Paul A. Asunda works on engineering and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education, focusing on how teachers design and deliver integrated STEM lessons in K-12 classrooms and how these experiences shape students' interest in STEM careers. His recent work also touches on tools like mixed reality and robotics for teaching engineering concepts, as well as some emerging work in robotics/AI planning and thermoelectric energy systems. Students working with him would likely explore curriculum design, classroom instructional practices, and career-pathway research in STEM education, sometimes paired with hands-on engineering technology topics.
