CEEO Faculty Fellows (CFF) are Tufts University faculty who are actively engaged in engineering education research with the CEEO. Their engagement may be through existing or planned funding opportunities, shared mentorship of graduate students or post-docs, or other joint research endeavors. Appointed for renewable 3-year terms by the School of Engineering, CFFs are chosen based on the congruence of their research with the CEEO’s mission and their interest in advancing mutual research activity.
Tufts CEEO is proud to share the list of CFFs appointed in spring 2024.
