Congratulations to Dr. Anu Singh for successfully defending her dissertation and earning her Ph.D. in Engineering Education Research. Singh's dissertation is titled, "Argument Schema of Undergraduate Engineering Students." Singh is the second graduate from UNL's Engineering Education Research Ph.D. program. This spring, Singh plans to join a postdoctoral position to continue her work on the development of higher-order thinking skills in undergraduate engineering students. Singh is advised by Heidi Diefes-Dux.

Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity! The Discipline-Based Education Research in Engineering (DBER-E) faculty group in the College of Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) is accepting applications for a cohort of THREE Postdoctoral Fellows for the NSF funded 3-Cs DBER-E Fellows Program (Award #2430498). The overarching goal of this two-year postdoctoral fellowship program is to provide participants with the training and practice necessary to navigate the early years of a faculty career as an education researcher embedded in a traditional engineering department. Applicants must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident and hold a Ph.D. in engineering education or a Ph.D. in another field with an engineering education dissertation topic (complete by August 2025 and not prior to August 2022). Expected salary is $70,000/year plus benefits. For more information: https://lnkd.in/dpqsuRET To apply: https://lnkd.in/dBjByEyE

We love seeing our students take on leadership roles in the engineering education community! Great work, Opanuga Toluwalase.
Good Afternoon Student Division! Our officer highlight this week is our co-program chair Opanuga Toluwalase! Here is the short bio Tolu has shared: I am a third-year Ph.D. student and research assistant in the Engineering Education Program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and a master’s degree in Industrial Engineering. My research centers on improving engineering students' learning experiences through research-based, student-centered instructional methods, focusing on self-directed learning, problem-based learning, and engineering ethics. My goal is to contribute to initiatives that equip engineering students to effectively address real-world challenges and consider societal, economic, and environmental impacts in their solutions. Beyond my academic work, I have held several leadership and mentorship roles. Currently, I serve as co-program chair for the ASEE Student Division, where I work alongside fellow division officers to provide resources that support the professional development of our student members. Thank you for all the work you do in supporting the ASEE Student Division Tolu!
