About
Jeanne M. De Sousa is an engineering educator whose work bridges academia and industry, with a focus on industrial robotics education and project-based learning. Her most cited paper, "Advanced Training in Industrial Robotics Using Project-Based Learning and Design Thinking in a Partnership Between the University and Industry" (2023, 5 citations), exemplifies her commitment to innovative teaching methods. This work-in-progress presents an engineering-advanced teaching alternative developed through a partnership between the Federal Institute of Amazonas (IFAM) and LG Electronics Factory, applied in Manaus, Brazil—a city located in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. De Sousa's research addresses the unique challenges of training engineers in remote, resource-constrained environments, demonstrating how university-industry collaborations can create impactful learning experiences. Her contributions are particularly notable for integrating design thinking with robotics training, preparing students for real-world industrial challenges. While her citation count is modest, her work holds significant regional importance, offering a model for engineering education in the Global South. De Sousa's achievements highlight the potential of localized, partnership-driven approaches to technical training, making her a valuable voice in discussions on accessible, context-aware engineering pedagogy.
