About
Jason Durfee is a dedicated educator and researcher in engineering and engineering technology education, with a primary focus on integrating innovation and hands-on project-based learning into undergraduate curricula. His most-cited work, "Using Course Projects to Infuse Innovation Throughout the Undergraduate Experience in the Engineering and Engineering Technology Curriculum" (2020), has garnered 2 citations and outlines a transformative approach to embedding real-world problem-solving and creative thinking across all four years of study. Durfee’s major contribution lies in advocating for a scaffolded curriculum where sequential course projects build students’ technical skills, entrepreneurial mindset, and adaptability to emerging technologies. By emphasizing innovation as a continuous thread rather than an isolated capstone, his work provides a replicable framework for institutions seeking to produce engineers who are not only technically proficient but also agile innovators. Though his citation count is modest, Durfee’s impact is felt through curriculum design workshops and conference presentations that inspire faculty to rethink traditional pedagogy. His research serves as a practical guide for educators aiming to bridge the gap between academic theory and industry demands, preparing students to lead in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
