Shaundra Daily
Associate Professor of the Practice in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
My career has focused on the design, implementation, and evaluation of technologies, programs, and curricula to holistically understand, change, and transform the diversity, equity, and inclusion of the fields. My approach has focused on three key strategies: 1) Designing, implementing, and evaluating technologies and programs geared towards making computing and engineering accessible to diverse audiences; 2) Supporting the development of interpersonal skills that will facilitate collaboration in diverse settings; and 3) Mentoring, participating in outreach, and researching the experiences of marginalized groups in computing and engineering.
Current Research Interests
Design, implementation, and evaluation of technologies, curriculum and programs to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM fields.
