Caroline Crockett is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Virginia, part of the School of Engineering and Applied Science. She holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan and a B.S. from the University of Virginia. Her academic role emphasizes teaching and engineering education research.
- B.S., Electrical Engineering, University of Virginia, 2015
- Ph.D., Electrical Engineering, University of Michigan, 2022
Her research interests are centered on engineering education, particularly how students develop conceptual understanding in core electrical engineering topics and learn to troubleshoot. She also has a background in machine learning and image reconstruction, though her current work focuses on pedagogy. She actively engages undergraduate students in research projects related to education and is a member of IEEE and ASEE.
Her recent publications reflect a strong trend toward engineering education research, especially in signals and systems comprehension and affective student responses to active learning. Earlier work includes advanced image reconstruction techniques using bilevel optimization, showing a transition from technical signal processing to educational research.
Caroline Crockett does not supervise graduate students or maintain a research lab, but she mentors undergraduates interested in engineering education. She has taught several key courses including Fundamentals of ECE 2, Fundamentals of ECE 3, and an Introduction to Machine Learning. She is committed to undergraduate instruction and curriculum development.
She is involved in the broader academic community through her memberships in IEEE and ASEE, contributing to educational research and dissemination through conferences and publications.
Outside of her academic duties, she enjoys knitting, reading, crafts, and spending time with her family and rescue dog Oreo. She is also a licensed amateur radio operator.
