Research Projects

The CEISMC Research and Evaluation Group at the Georgia Institute of Technology aims to contribute meaningful research to the academic community, advancing CEISMC's vision to understand and inform curricular, pedagogical, social, and policy reforms that shape STEM education and workforce development.  We achieve this vision by conducting research utilizing our team’s expertise in quantitative and qualitative methods to share our learned knowledge with the academic community through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at national and international conferences. The team has expertise in various advanced statistical methods, including Social Network Analysis, Hierarchical Linear Modeling, Survival Analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling.  A sample of our research activities is presented below.
