Casey Ankeny is a Teaching Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Assistant Dean for Master’s Programs at Northwestern University’s McCormick School of Engineering. She holds additional roles as Associate Director of the Northwestern Center for Engineering Education Research and Director of the MS Program in Biomedical Engineering. Her research focuses on cyber-based student engagement strategies in biomedical engineering courses, standards-based grading, and improving student persistence in student-centered learning environments.
Education: PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University (Atlanta, GA), and a BS in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, VA).
Her research explores flipped classrooms, active learning pedagogies, and faculty development programs to enhance educational outcomes. Key areas include evidence-based instructional strategies (EBIS), formative feedback systems, and scaling faculty development initiatives across disciplines. She has contributed to studies on implicit gender biases in academic roles and student-centered learning efficacy.
Publications reflect her emphasis on educational innovation, including works on virtual labs, standards-based grading, and interdisciplinary faculty training programs. Her work has been presented at the ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition, with notable contributions to understanding connections between classroom practices and student attitudes.
As a leader in educational research, Ankeny oversees programs promoting active learning and has developed tools like web-enabled ‘muddiest point’ reflections to enhance student engagement. Her efforts aim to bridge research and practice in engineering education through scalable, evidence-driven approaches.
