Initiative
Student Success and Well-being
My project is designed to support engineering students primarily in their freshman and sophomore years, when they struggle the most, resulting in high failing rates. Students do not always implement the best study strategies as they transition from high school to college, and do not prioritize their self-care and well-being. College level coursework is significantly more difficult compared to high school level courses and require more critical and abstract thinking.
Impacts
American Society of Engineering Education
The entries are conference articles of the American Society of Engineering Education annual conference.

Teaching Tips 2022-2023
Each year, the PTF Chair-Elect has the opportunity to share recurring Teaching Tips with all faculty at UT. These messages cover a variety of topics, styles, and methodologies, from brief and practical classroom strategies to in-depth conversations with voices from across campus.
This year’s Teaching Tips were written by Chair-Elect Nina Telang.
