About
Alexis Pham is a dedicated educator and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of engineering education and applied mechanics. Her primary research areas include the development and assessment of innovative pedagogical tools—particularly finite element learning modules—designed to enhance conceptual understanding in undergraduate engineering students. In her most-cited work, "Improving Student Learning Using Finite Element Learning Modules: An Update in Research Findings" (2020, 3 citations), Pham provides critical longitudinal evidence on how interactive, simulation-based modules can bridge theoretical knowledge and practical application. While her citation count reflects a focused, early-stage impact, her contributions are notable for their direct influence on curriculum design at the Air Force Academy, where she has served on the faculty since completing her Ph.D. in 2002. Pham’s career is distinguished by her prior active-duty service in the U.S. Air Force, which informs her disciplined, mission-driven approach to engineering education. Her ongoing work in empirical testing methods continues to shape how future engineers learn complex structural concepts, making her a valuable figure in the scholarship of teaching and learning.
