About
Jung-San Chen is a leading researcher at the intersection of engineering education, creative pedagogy, and robotics. His work centers on transforming how students learn by integrating design thinking (DT) with project-based learning (PBL), particularly through hands-on robot courses. Chen’s most cited study, “The Impact of Design Thinking PBL Robot Course on College Students’ Learning Motivation and Creative Thinking” (2021, 58 citations), provides critical evidence that combining DT with PBL significantly boosts both motivation and creative thinking in higher education. This contribution moves beyond prior findings that PBL alone is effective, demonstrating the added value of a structured, human-centered design framework. By showing how iterative prototyping and empathy-driven problem-solving can be embedded in technical curricula, Chen has helped shape modern engineering education practices. His work is widely referenced by educators and researchers seeking to foster innovation in STEM classrooms, and it underscores his commitment to developing pedagogies that prepare students for complex, real-world challenges. Chen’s research continues to influence how institutions design courses that balance technical skill-building with creative and critical thinking development.
