About
Ting-Wei Hou is a prominent researcher in engineering education, with a focused expertise in project-based learning (PBL), design thinking (DT), and the integration of robotics to foster creative thinking and motivation. His most cited work, a 2021 study with 58 citations, makes a pivotal contribution by demonstrating how a design thinking-infused PBL robot course significantly enhances college students’ learning motivation and creative thinking. This research moves beyond confirming PBL’s general effectiveness, specifically isolating the powerful role of design thinking as a pedagogical framework. By showing that the iterative, human-centered DT process can amplify the benefits of hands-on robotics projects, Hou’s work provides a concrete, evidence-based model for educators seeking to cultivate innovation and engagement in STEM classrooms. His findings have direct implications for curriculum design, offering a replicable strategy to transform traditional engineering courses into dynamic, creativity-driven learning experiences. Through this highly cited study, Hou has established himself as a key voice in modern engineering pedagogy, bridging theoretical frameworks with practical, technology-enhanced instruction.
