Ben Fahrman

Ben Fahrman serves as a Lecturer in the College of Engineering at the University of Georgia, where he has focused on pedagogical innovation since joining the faculty in 2018. His work centers on transforming foundational engineering education through evidence-based teaching strategies.

His research interests prioritize improving student outcomes in Statics through:

• Implementation of active learning techniques including flipped classrooms and collaborative problem-solving sessions
• Development of interactive open educational resources to replace traditional textbooks
• Pioneering proficiency-based assessment systems for meaningful academic evaluation
• Cost-reduction initiatives for engineering course materials

These efforts target enhanced engagement and mastery in core mechanical engineering concepts.

Fahrman's educational development work operates within UGA's EETI (Educational Enhancement and Technology Integration) framework, contributing to campus-wide teaching excellence initiatives through projects like mid-semester formative evaluations and online learning resource curation.
