About
Christopher Scianna is an emerging scholar in engineering education, with a research focus on the first-year student experience, service-learning pedagogy, and the cultivation of community within engineering programs. His most-cited work, "First-year Engineering Student Expectations and Experiences: Community, College, and Curriculum" (2020), examines how service-learning courses shape student engagement and foster a sense of belonging in urban engineering contexts. This evidence-based practice paper has garnered attention for its practical insights into curriculum design and student retention. Though early in his career, Scianna’s contributions are already influencing how educators structure introductory engineering experiences to bridge academic expectations with real-world community connections. His work underscores the importance of intentional, community-engaged learning in building resilient and motivated engineering students. As his citation count grows, Scianna is poised to become a key voice in the scholarship of teaching and learning, particularly for programs seeking to integrate service and social impact into foundational engineering curricula.
