Daria Kotys-Schwartz
Daria Kotys-Schwartz, Instructor and MSC-CU Mechanical Engineering Partnership Faculty Coordinator in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Kotys-Schwartz received classical training in mechanical engineering with a doctoral dissertation focus in engineering education. Her research aims to add to the body of knowledge in three research areas identified by the Engineering Education Research Colloquies: Engineering Learning Mechanisms Research, Engineering Diversity and Inclusiveness Research, and Engineering Learning Systems. Her major projects examine the impacts of altruistic engineering on learning, attitudes, recruitment and retention; the longitudinal technical and professional skill development of engineering students in problem-based learning classes; and, the effectiveness of pre-exam oral assessment.
