About
Dr. Kristin Moore Taylor is a dedicated educator and researcher whose work centers on enhancing student learning through innovative pedagogical approaches, particularly in engineering education. Her primary research areas include the development and assessment of finite element learning modules, which aim to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical application in engineering curricula. Taylor’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how these interactive, hands-on modules can significantly improve student comprehension and engagement in complex subjects like structural analysis and mechanics. Her most-cited paper, "Improving Student Learning Using Finite Element Learning Modules: An Update in Research Findings" (2020), has garnered 3 citations, reflecting a growing interest in evidence-based teaching tools. Beyond this, Taylor’s career is notable for her service as an active-duty officer in the U.S. Air Force, where she began her academic journey at the Air Force Academy in 1994. After earning her Ph.D. in 2002, she returned to the Academy as a faculty member, blending military discipline with academic rigor. Her ongoing work in empirical testing methods continues to shape how engineering students learn, making her a valuable contributor to STEM education.
