Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research

Aditya Johri is an Assistant Professor of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech and Director of toolsLAB (Technology, Open Organizing and Learning Sciences Laboratory). His current projects focus on engineering learning, shifts in engineering work practices due to globalization and technology diffusion, and emergence of creativity in design practice. He was recently awarded the National Science Foundation Early Career Award and was a CASEE New Faculty Fellow (2008). He also received the Virginia Tech College of Engineering Dean's Award for Outstanding New Assistant Professor (2010). Barbara M. Olds is Senior Advisor in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources at the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and Professor Emerita of Liberal Arts and International Studies at the Colorado School of Mines, where she most recently served as Associate Provost for Educational Innovation. She served as the Director for the Division of Research, Evaluation, and Communication at NSF from 2003 to 2006. Olds is a fellow of the American Society for Engineering Education, where she has served in a number of capacities, including a term on the Board of Directors and as Chair of the International Advisory Committee. She was also a member of the Advisory Committee for the NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering and chaired the Committee of Visitors for that program in 2008. She was a Fulbright lecturer/researcher in Sweden in 1999.
