About

Ji‐Young Choi is an educator and researcher whose work centers on innovative, hands-on approaches to engineering education, particularly in the areas of guidance, navigation, and control systems. Her most cited work, “Using Hands-on Project with Lego Mindstorms in a Graduate Course” (2014, 10 citations), exemplifies her commitment to making complex concepts accessible through low-cost, practical tools. In this project, she demonstrated how a Lego Mindstorms NXT, combined with a simple web camera, could be used for obstacle mapping and indoor navigation—effectively bridging the gap between theoretical control theory and real-world application. This approach not only enhances student engagement but also lowers the barrier to entry for advanced robotics education. Choi’s contributions highlight a broader impact in pedagogical innovation, showing that even modest resources can yield powerful learning outcomes. Her work continues to inspire educators seeking to integrate project-based learning into graduate curricula, proving that hands-on experimentation is a vital complement to traditional lecture-based instruction.
