About
Ya-Ting Carolyn Yang is a leading educational technology researcher whose work bridges design thinking, project-based learning (PBL), and robotics education. Her research focuses on how innovative pedagogical approaches—particularly design thinking integrated with PBL—can enhance students’ learning motivation, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills in engineering and STEM contexts. Her most cited paper (2021, 58 citations) demonstrates that combining design thinking with PBL in robot courses significantly boosts college students’ learning motivation and creative thinking, offering a powerful framework for transforming engineering education. Yang’s contributions extend beyond this landmark study; she has systematically explored how hands-on, design-driven curricula can prepare students for complex, real-world challenges. Her work has been widely recognized for its practical impact on curriculum design and its ability to inspire educators to adopt more student-centered, interdisciplinary approaches. With a growing citation footprint, Yang is shaping how future engineers learn to innovate, making her a key voice in the movement toward more creative, engaging, and effective STEM education.
