The Research Briefs podcast aims to continue raising the profile of engineering education research by exploring new frameworks, new methods, and new findings with the scholars who created them. Research Briefs 2.0, hosted by Drs. Monique Ross & Jeremi London, is a continuation of the original Research Briefs hosted by Dr. Ruth Streveler. We continue her exploration of scholarship, but add a strong emphasis on the scholars themselves. Thanks in advance for joining us on this journey!
