David Reeping

Dr. David Reeping is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Education at the University of Cincinnati. He earned his Ph.D. in Engineering Education from Virginia Tech and was a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. He received his B.S. in Engineering Education with a Mathematics minor from Ohio Northern University. His main research interests include transfer student information asymmetries, threshold concepts in electrical and computer engineering, agent-based modeling of educational systems, and advancing quantitative and fully integrated mixed methods.

Ph.D. Engineering Education: Virginia Tech 2019

Cert. Higher Education Administration: Virginia Tech 2018

B.S. Engineering Education: Ohio Northern University 2016

Currently have the capacity to advise students for Masters/Ph.D. in Engineering Education.

Areas I'm currently working in include:
- advancing quantitative and mixed methods approaches in engineering education
- engineering transfer student experiences
- curricular complexity of engineering programs
- threshold concepts in engineering curricula (particularly in electrical and computer engineering)
