Dongdong Zhang is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Prairie View A&M University. He graduated from University of Missouri-Columbia with a Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering. His research interests include: Micro- and Nano-Fiber Reinforced Composites Processing Simulation, Transport Phenomenon in Polymer Composites Processing; Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational and Numerical Algorithms; Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM); Engineering Education
Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Prairie View A&M University
Bugrahan Yalvac is an associate professor of science and engineering education in the Department of Teaching, Learning, and Culture at Texas A&M University, College Station. He received his Ph.D. in science education at the Pennsylvania State University in 2005. Prior to his current position, he worked as a learning scientist for the VaNTH Engineering Research Center at Northwestern University for three years. Yalvac’s research is in STEM education, 21st century skills, and design and evaluation of learning environments informed by the How People Learn framework.
Deniz Eseryel joined North Carolina State University as a Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program cluster hire in the Digital Transformation of Education. She is an Associate Professor in the Department of Curriculum, Instruction, and Counselor Education specializing in Digital Learning and Teaching. She is also a Senior Research Fellow at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation. The important but little understood question that has motivated her program of research is: How can we effectively and efficiently promote cyberlearning in complex knowledge domains such as STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)? Towards this direction, she (1) investigates the development of higher-order thinking and complex problem-solving competencies following a comprehensive framework that includes cognition, metacognition, cognitive regulation, motivation, emotion, and epistemic beliefs; (2) develops innovative assessment methods that can benchmark progress of learning and the development of complex problem-solving competencies; (3) develops new and effective approaches to design state-of-the-art digital learning environments (such as intelligent tutoring, system dynamics modeling, simulations, virtual reality, and digital games) to facilitate complex problem-solving competencies; and (4) investigates effective ways to prepare teachers and administrators for digital transformation of education to support effective integration and seamless adoption of advanced learning technologies into education. In addition to her work focusing on STEM learning in K-20 educational settings, her research was also carried out in professional contexts including army, aircraft maintenance, air-traffic control, emergency response, environmental sciences, climate change, medical education, instructional design, architecture, construction science, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, and systems engineering.
I am a junior mechanical engineer at Prairie View A&M University. I currently tutor in UGS NX 7.5, a CAD based class that implements both hand and computer based drafting. My main duty is to lecture the CAD section of the class known as Intro to Mechanical Drawing along with the tutoring or any other related duties that entail.
I was born and raised in Houston Texas. I have worked in the professional field for five years as a environmental technician at Southern Union. I am also currently attending Prairie View A&M University to pursue a Mechanical Engineering degree
My name is Deron Arceneaux; I am a sophomore at Prairie View A&M University. I am a member of the National Society of Black Engineers, and a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. In these organizations I participated in many community service events, I am a very active member in these organizations. I am also a teachers assistant for the Mechanical Engineering Drawing I, in this class we teach NX 7.5 CAD software.
