About
Orin Hoffman is an educator and researcher dedicated to broadening access to engineering education, with a particular focus on inclusive pedagogies and systems thinking. Her key research areas include engineering education, robotics-based curriculum design, and the integration of systems approaches in introductory courses. Hoffman’s major contribution lies in her pioneering work at Mount Holyoke College, where she developed and taught a robotics-based introductory engineering course tailored for an all-female liberal arts institution. Her most cited paper, “Moving Towards A More Systems Approach In A Robotics Based Introductory Engineering Course At Mount Holyoke College” (2020, 5 citations), documents the challenges and progress of this initiative, offering a replicable model for introducing engineering principles in non-traditional settings. This work highlights her commitment to dismantling barriers in STEM and fostering diverse engineering talent. Hoffman’s efforts have been recognized for their impact on curriculum innovation and inclusive teaching practices, making her a notable figure in engineering education reform.
