About
Carolyn Giroux is an emerging scholar in engineering education, with a focused interest in bridging the gap between university-level curricula and K-12 instruction. Her primary research area centers on innovative pedagogical design, specifically how novel university engineering courses can be adapted as effective models for high school education. Giroux’s major contribution lies in her collaborative work with urban public high schools, demonstrating how complex engineering concepts can be translated into accessible, engaging content that resonates with a diverse student body. Her most-cited paper, "Designing from a Novel University Engineering Course as a Model for High School Education" (2022), has garnered 3 citations, establishing a foundational framework for educators seeking relevant, real-world examples to inspire their classrooms. This work highlights her commitment to equity and inclusion in STEM, providing teachers with practical tools to broaden participation in engineering. Though early in her career, Giroux’s research offers a vital link between higher education innovation and secondary school practice, positioning her as a promising voice in the movement to diversify and revitalize pre-college engineering education.
