How to Get Involved

I am recruiting undergraduate students who are interested in computing education research for ongoing and future projects (unfortunately, I do not currently have extra funding for additional PhD students). Please take a look at our lab's recent publications and contact me, Michael J. Lee, by email, indicating your research interests, projects that you have worked on (e.g., ePortfolio, app, website, Github repositories), and why you think you might be a good fit for our lab. I am specifically looking for those interested in topics of computing education or STEM education, preferably with some coding experience. Due to the high volume of emails I receive, I will not be able to respond to emails that do not include the information listed above.

Note: Teaching assistance (TA) and grader positions are handled at the department level (and not by individual professors), so I will not be reponding to inquiries requesting these jobs.
