Faculty Research Associate
Morgan Hynes is a Research Faculty Associate at Arizona State University. Before going to Arizona, Hynes was a Research Assistant Professor in the Tufts University Education Department and Education Research Program Director for theTufts Center of Engineering Education and Outreach. Hynes received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in 2001 and his Ph.D. in Engineering Education in 2009 (both degrees at Tufts University). In his current positions, Hynes serves as PI and Co-PI on a number of funded research projects investigating engineering education in the K-12 and college settings. He is particularly interested in how students and teachers engage in and reflect upon the engineering design process. His research includes investigating how teachers conceptualize and then teach engineering through in-depth case study analysis. Hynes also spends time working at the Sarah Greenwood K-8 school (a Boston PublicSchool) assisting teachers in implementing engineering curriculum in grades 3-8.
Education Ph.D. Engineering Education, Tufts University 2009 B.S. Mechanical Engineering, Tufts University 2001 Research Interests My research interests all fall under the umbrella of improving education through engineering. I have a particular passion for the emerging field of K-12 engineering education. Within this field my specific research interests include:
