About
Stacie I. Ringleb is an interdisciplinary researcher whose work sits at the intersection of engineering education, teacher preparation, and K-12 STEM outreach. She is perhaps best known for her leadership of Ed+gineering, an NSF-funded program that brings undergraduate engineering students and preservice teachers together to collaboratively design and deliver robotics instruction to elementary school children. Through this innovative model, Ringleb investigates how cross-disciplinary partnerships can simultaneously strengthen engineering undergraduates' communication skills and build preservice teachers' confidence and self-efficacy for teaching engineering and computer science concepts. A recurring theme across her research is adaptability: when the COVID-19 pandemic forced hands-on robotics programs online, Ringleb and her colleagues documented how these virtual collaborations unfolded via Zoom, revealing that authentic relationships remained central to effective learning even in remote environments. Her qualitative and case-study methodologies offer rich, nuanced portraits of how context shapes teaching and learning outcomes. Collectively cited over fifteen times, her publications contribute meaningfully to conversations about preparing the next generation of educators to meet nationwide mandates for integrating engineering and coding into elementary classrooms, making rigorous STEM education more accessible and equitable for young learners.
