About
Dr. Aaron Perea is a forward-thinking engineering educator and researcher whose work bridges the gap between hands-on student learning and advanced robotics. His primary research areas include multidisciplinary engineering education, underwater robotics, and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for structural analysis. Dr. Perea’s most notable contribution is his development of integrated capstone projects that combine underwater robots and quadcopters for building structural inspection—a novel approach that simultaneously advances research and pedagogy. His 2024 paper on this topic, which has already garnered 2 citations, serves as a compelling case study for how faculty can manage meaningful research while engaging students through project-based learning. By demonstrating how complex, real-world challenges can be tackled through collaborative, multidisciplinary teams, Dr. Perea is shaping the next generation of engineers who are not only technically proficient but also adept at systems thinking. His work exemplifies a model where teaching and research are not competing priorities but synergistic forces, inspiring both students and fellow educators to push the boundaries of what is possible in engineering technology.
