Mission
The Deters Research Group promotes inclusive practices within engineering education to successfully shepherd students from all backgrounds to graduation and into successful careers. Our research focuses on improving student success in three core research areas: (1) engineering culture, (2) graduate engineering education, and (3) transitions into the workplace. We aim to create inclusive environments and pathways that remove barriers and allow students from all backgrounds the opportunity to succeed in engineering.
