About
Francesca Pozzi is a researcher dedicated to bridging the gap between secondary education and university-level computer engineering. Her key research areas include educational robotics, curriculum development, and STEM career guidance. Pozzi’s major contribution lies in designing and evaluating structured guidance experiences that equip upper secondary students with the foundational knowledge and confidence needed to pursue computer engineering. Her most cited work, “Introducing Computer Engineering Curriculum to Upper Secondary Students: An Evaluation of Experiences Based on Educational Robotics” (2016, 2 citations), details a study conducted at the University of Genoa, demonstrating how hands-on robotics activities can demystify the field and foster informed academic choices. While her citation count is modest, the practical impact of her work is significant, directly influencing how universities can proactively shape the next generation of engineers. Pozzi’s research is particularly notable for its focus on actionable, evidence-based interventions that address the critical transition from high school to higher education, making her a valuable voice in the conversation on STEM recruitment and retention.
