Benjamin Ahn, Ph.D.

Benjamin Ahn, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University. He graduated with a Ph.D in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. He received his B.E. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of New South Wales Australia, and a M.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering from Purdue University.  My faculty research centers on developing engineering students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes through high-quality engineering education experiences. I use both quantitative and qualitative research methods to advance (1) the adoption of innovative pedagogy and technology to improve students’ ability to learn technical knowledge and master problem solving skills, (2) the development and assessment of professional skills in engineering students, and (3) the use of mentoring to develop students’ inquiry, investigation, and discovery skills during their research experiences.
