Biography
Dr. David A. Delaine is an Associate Professor within the School of Universal Computing, Construction & Engineering Education (SUCCEED) in the College of Engineering & Computing at Florida International University. After seven years at The Ohio State University’s Department of Engineering Education, he will extend FIU’s expertise through his Inclusive Community-based Learning (iCBL) Lab that advances knowledge on the ways in which community-based learning (service-learning, outreach, volunteerism) in engineering can impact local communities, students, and other participating stakeholders through reciprocal partnership. As an NSF CAREER award recipient, Dr. Delaine’s research develops evidence-based approaches within CBL contexts that can support the formation of reflexive engineering professionals while promoting broadening participation outcomes in engineering. Dr. Delaine has obtained a bachelor’s in electrical engineering from Northeastern University, a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Drexel University, and served as a Postdoctoral Fulbright Scholar at the Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo.
