Jeffrey Stransky

Jeffrey Stransky is an Assistant Professor in the Dean’s Office of the College of Engineering Technology at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). He holds a faculty appointment with a focus on engineering education and process safety. His teaching responsibilities include courses such as ENGT-110 (College of Engineering Technology Exploration Seminar), MCET-101 (Fundamentals of Engineering), and MCET-530 (Thermal Fluid Science II), emphasizing hands-on, experiential learning and interdisciplinary problem-solving.

His research interests revolve around process safety education, STEM student motivation, and the integration of digital tools (e.g., immersive games) to enhance engineering training. He explores topics such as entrepreneurial self-efficacy, decision-making criteria in safety contexts, and the impact of lived experiences on engineering judgment. His work often involves validating survey instruments and analyzing student perceptions through qualitative and quantitative methods.

Recent studies highlight his focus on minority-serving institutions and the development of educational frameworks to improve student engagement and professional readiness. His publications span 2019–2024, with a strong emphasis on bridging theory and practice in engineering education.
