Rural Reimagined (RR) congratulates Drs. J. Robby Sanders, Andrea Arce-Trigatti, and Pedro E. Arce for winning the 2021 Thomas C. Evans Engineering Education Paper Award from the American Society of Engineering Education, Southeastern (ASEE-SE) Section. The co-authors delivered a lecture at the annual ASEE-SE virtual meeting, and the winning manuscript, “Promoting student problem-identification skills via a Jeopardy-inspired game within the Renaissance Foundry,” was published in Education for Chemical Engineers. It explores the role of a Jeopardy®-inspired game as an Organizational Tool within the Renaissance Foundry and its effectiveness for problem identification. These colleagues have also partnered with RR to lead the SERS-funded Holistic Foundry Undergraduate Engaged Learners (FUEL) program, which focuses on enhancing research opportunities for underrepresented student communities in engineering.
