Ruth Wertz's work focuses on engineering education research, including how engineering students develop skills like information literacy and critical thinking, how online and blended learning environments support student engagement, and how first-year engineering courses can be designed and assessed more effectively. Her research also touches on broader topics like accommodations for disabled students in STEM and how STEM-related toys are marketed to girls. This research is aimed at improving how engineering is taught and how student learning is measured.
Publication output was uneven over the last decade, with a large concentration of outputs in 2020, quieter years before and after, and a smaller resurgence in 2024.
