About

Erin Delisle’s research centers on collaborative problem solving in computer science education, with a particular focus on innovative, team-based pedagogical models. Her most-cited work, “Collaborative problem solving” (2010, 30 citations), details a pioneering graduate-level course co-taught by four instructors from diverse fields—including mechatronics and computational geometry—designed to attract students through interdisciplinary, cooperative learning. This paper has shaped discussions on how to structure collaborative curricula in technical disciplines, emphasizing the value of multiple expert perspectives in the classroom. Delisle’s contributions lie in demonstrating that collaborative teaching can bridge gaps between specialized areas, fostering deeper problem-solving skills. While her citation count reflects a niche but dedicated audience, her work is notable for its practical, hands-on approach to reimagining computer science education. By documenting a real-world experiment in co-instruction, Delisle provides a replicable model for educators seeking to break down silos in graduate training. Her research continues to influence course design in computational fields, making her a thoughtful voice in the ongoing evolution of STEM pedagogy.
