EIS Research

Engineering Instructional Services conducts research in engineering education.  This can take the form of a test of a new teaching technique, a new assessment process, or literature review.  We present our findings at conferences and in peer-reviewed journals.  We can provide assistance if you would like to report on educational activity in your own classroom.

EIS participated in the following recent publications:
