Welcome back, everyone, to this month's Research Briefs.
00:20.031 --> 00:23.484
Today we are engaging with Dr. Andrew Katz, Associate Professor of
00:23.984 --> 00:26.906
Engineering Education from Virginia Tech. Welcome,
00:27.082 --> 00:29.572
Andrew. Thank you.
00:30.215 --> 00:33.684
Yeah, so glad to have you. So we know each
