Mentoring Philosophy

Dr. James Huff mentors graduate (master’s and Ph.D.) students of the BPI lab to generate fresh and grounded insights into individual experiences related to their identities or identity-relevant phenomena in engineering education. Graduate students can expect robust training in qualitative research methodologies while generating fresh insight into identity-relevant phenomena in engineering education and practice. They can further expect to lead work early in their graduate student trajectory.

 

Dr. Huff welcomes undergraduate students as research collaborators from a wide variety of disciplines, including engineering, psychology, and education. In the BPI lab, Dr. Huff offers in-person support for mentoring and undergraduate students over multi-semester collaborations.​

​

All students are trained to develop their own voices as authors and generate meaningful contributions to engineering education and psychological research and practice.
