Relating Project Tasks in Design Courses to the Development of Engineering Self-efficacy

Laura Hirshfield is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan in the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching in Engineering (CRLT-e). She received her B.S. from the University of Michigan and her Ph.D. from Purdue University, both in chemical engineering. She then transitioned into the engineering education field by completing a post-doctoral appointment at Oregon State University investigating technology-aided conceptual learning. She is currently doing research on self-efficacy and teamwork in project-based learning.
