Abstract

and Society. She holds a B.S. in mechanical engineering and international studies from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and an M.S. and PhD in STS from Virginia Tech. She conducts research on engineering practice and pedagogy around the world, exploring its origins, purposes, and potential futures. Marie's interest in values and engagement in professional cultures also extends to innovation and its experts. With Matthew Wisnioski and Eric Hintz, Marie co-edited Does America Need More Innovators? (MIT Press, 2019). Matt Parsons, Colorado School of MinesMy name is Matt Parsons. I completed my undergraduate degree at The Ohio State University. At OSU, I was a teaching assistant for the first-year engineering sequence for 5 semesters. I developed a passion for teaching there. I researched STEM students' perception of Community Engaged Learning pedagogy in 2020 at North Dakota State University. Over my final undergraduate years, I created a Humanitarian Engineering lab on OSU's campus. The lab served over 125 students when I graduated in May 2022. I currently attend Colorado School of Mines to study Humanitarian Engineering and Science. At Mines, I am a teaching assistant for the Engineering With Community Design Studio. It consists of eight capstone projects applying engineering for social good. After Mines, I want to become a lecturer for general engineering courses and Humanitarian Engineering.
