About
Caitlin Callaghan is an innovative engineering educator whose work focuses on project-based learning, remote experimentation, and the integration of digital tools to enhance student engagement. Her most notable contribution came during the COVID-19 pandemic, when she rapidly transformed a hands-on engineering experience into a remote format. In her highly cited 2020 study, she mailed experimental kits to 285 undergraduates and developed a multiplayer online robot simulation game, demonstrating that students could still achieve cognitive objectives and report high satisfaction with the remote experience. This work, with 14 citations, has become a key reference for educators seeking to maintain experiential learning in virtual environments. Callaghan’s research highlights both the successes and limitations of remote project-based learning, offering practical insights for scalable, technology-mediated instruction. Her achievements underscore her commitment to accessible, high-quality engineering education, making her a valuable voice in the ongoing evolution of pedagogical strategies for STEM fields.
