Fundamental Research in Engineering Education explores deep, theory-driven questions about how students learn engineering concepts, how identity and context influence learning, and how educational systems can evolve to be more equitable and effective. This type of research is often grounded in learning sciences, social theory, or educational policy and aims to produce insights that shape the future of engineering education. Faculty engaged in this work conduct rigorous studies that are widely disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
