Congratulations to our Invention Education team!

Would love to see more research focused on structural, policy, curricular, and organizational issues in engineering education. Those are the kinds of studies that can inform sustainable change strategies and be useful given current issues.

On the tougher days in this job, I need to remind myself that: -the self-doubt means I have ambitious career goals -the failure means I'm taking risks and trying something new -the frustration means I care and I'm passionate about my work

Semesterly reminder that the end of semesters is always silly season on campuses. Take lots of breaths and walks.

You don’t have to build confidence before taking action. You build confidence by taking action. Standing still breeds rumination and seeds self-doubt. Motion fuels progress and elevates efficacy. Never let doubts about your ability undermine your faith in your ability to learn.

The future looks brighter when we give students the space to share problems they care about and provide tools to enact change. Thanks for sharing today, VT Rising Sophomore Abroad Program VT Engineering Education
