About

David J. Rogers is a dedicated engineering education researcher whose work focuses on breaking down silos in pre-college STEM outreach to create more cohesive, impactful learning experiences. His key research areas include engineering pedagogy, collaborative STEM program design, and the integration of robotics education for younger students. Rogers’ most notable contribution is his innovative approach to blending existing pre-college engineering initiatives—rather than competing, he advocates for strategic collaboration to maximize limited resources and broaden student access. His 2022 paper, "Collaboration Instead of Competition: Blending Existing Pre-College Engineering Programs for Greater Impact," has garnered 3 citations and serves as a forward-thinking blueprint for educators and program coordinators seeking to unify fragmented STEM efforts. This work-in-progress paper highlights his commitment to practical, systemic change in how engineering is introduced before college. Rogers’ research is particularly valuable for practitioners looking to scale impact without reinventing the wheel, making him a thoughtful voice in the conversation around sustainable, inclusive pre-college engineering education.
