Benjamin’s research centers on developing engineering students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes through high-quality engineering education experiences. Benjamin applies his training in both engineering education and aerospace engineering to (1) examine the onboarding process for new engineers in the workplace (workforce development) and identify the professional skills required for the next generations of engineers (professional skill development); (2) investigate mentoring practices to support the inquiry, investigation, and discovery of diverse engineering students in research settings (mentoring); and (3) explore technologies and pedagogies that enhance students’ acquisition of technical knowledge and problem-solving skills (teaching mechanisms).
