About
Dr. Ivyann O. Running is a rising scholar in engineering education and design research, whose work critically examines the intersection of gender equity and the social relevance of technical inquiry. Her most cited paper, "Beyond the Paper: Exploring the Relationship Between the Participation of Women and the Social Relevance of Research Topics in Engineering Design" (2024), investigates why women remain underrepresented in mechanical engineering, linking this disparity to the types of research topics prioritized in the field. By analyzing how socially relevant research may attract and retain diverse talent, Running challenges conventional assumptions about engineering culture and knowledge production. Though early in her career, her work has already garnered attention for its timely and provocative insights, contributing to broader conversations about inclusivity in STEM. Running’s research is particularly notable for its interdisciplinary approach, bridging design theory, feminist scholarship, and empirical methods. As the engineering community increasingly seeks to address systemic inequities, her contributions offer a critical framework for rethinking what—and who—is valued in engineering design.
