About
Donald E. Carlucci is an engineering educator whose work centers on transforming undergraduate curricula through hands-on, design-based learning. His most significant contribution is the development of an innovative core design laboratory for sophomore-year students, integrating electronics and instrumentation into a cohesive, project-driven experience. This approach, detailed in his highly cited 2020 paper (3 citations), moves beyond traditional lecture formats to foster practical problem-solving skills early in engineering programs. By co-authoring this work with colleagues Sheppard, Carr, Corradeschi, and Messano, Carlucci has helped establish a pedagogical model that emphasizes real-world application and interdisciplinary thinking. Though his citation count is modest, the impact of his teaching innovation is evident in its adoption as a foundational element of curriculum reform, directly shaping how future engineers learn to design and test electronic systems. Carlucci’s work exemplifies a commitment to active learning, bridging the gap between theory and practice, and has influenced engineering education practices at his institution and beyond.
