About
Susan Bitetti’s research centers on the intersection of engineering education, project-based learning, and student self-assessment, with a particular focus on first-year and introductory engineering courses. Her most cited work, “Examination of Student Self-assessed Learning in a Project-based Freshman Robotics Course” (2018, 2 citations), provides a compelling look into how hands-on, project-driven curricula can shape early engineering experiences. In this innovative practice paper, Bitetti examines a first-year robotics course where students engage in three distinct projects, analyzing their self-reported learning gains to understand how varied, active learning tasks foster engagement and skill development. Though her citation count is modest, her contribution is significant for educators designing introductory courses that aim to both excite and retain engineering students. Bitetti’s work underscores the importance of student voice in evaluating pedagogical effectiveness, offering practical insights for curriculum developers. Her research is a valuable resource for instructors seeking evidence-based strategies to make first-year engineering education more dynamic, reflective, and student-centered.
