Werth Research Group

We just wrapped up the I-Corps program, and wow—what an experience! As a team, we set out to explore how companies are navigating technical hiring in the AI era, and the customer discovery process gave us invaluable insights into the real challenges engineering companies face today. The structured approach of “getting out of the building” […]

We are thrilled to share that Dr. Campbell McColley, a postdoctoral researcher in our group, has been awarded the highly competitive NSF STEM Education Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. It is a tremendous honor recognizing his exceptional promise and future leader in STEM education research. Their fellowship project focuses on strengthening partnerships between undergraduate engineering programs …

The goal of the AFG Program is to recognize emerging scholars in the engineering education community who have the potential for substantial contributions to the field. A huge thank you to the ERM Division for the Apprentice Faculty Grant (AFG) award — I’m honored and grateful for the recognition! And a special thank you to […]

We have a perspectives paper in the Journal of Biomedical Engineering Education which presents insights from The Fifth Biomedical Engineering Education Summit, which brought together educators from across the U.S. to address challenges and opportunities in integrating GenAI into BME curricula.

Excited to share our group’s first publication in the Journal of Engineering Education! Our paper, “Methodological foundations for artificial intelligence-driven survey question generation,” explores how genAI can be used to create adaptive, course-specific survey questions for engineering education and educational research. We have been developing a method we call the Synthetic Question–Response…

Exciting News! I’m thrilled to share our new study out of work done at CU Boulder published in PRPER: “Investigating changes in student views of measurement uncertainty in an introductory physics lab course using clustering algorithms.” This research sheds light on the crucial aspect of understanding measurement uncertainty in experimental physics. The study uses hierarchical [&…

Check out our new publication out of work done at CU Boulder! Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are revolutionizing STEM education, providing students with hands-on, real research experiences in the classroom. This study, conducted by our team at CU Boulder, evaluated the impact of the first reported large-enrollment, introductory physics CURE.Students enrolled in the C-PhLA…
