Bio

Why Education at Florida Tech?

"In 2012, I came to Florida Tech to get a Master’s degree in computer education. Later, after I got to know Florida Tech more and met with Dr. Marcinkowski during one of the courses, I decided to continue pursuing my Ph.D at Florida Tech. Florida Tech has a Ph.D program in STEM Education that required students to study several majors and get a solid educational background. During my Ph.D program, I had the opportunity to study more advanced courses in my undergraduate major, computer science, and earned a second Master's degree on it. At the same time, the program, through the coursework, comprehensive exam, and the dissertation work, helped me to build a strong background in educational theories, research methodologies, and statistical analysis strategies. The Ph.D program in STEM Education at Florida Tech prepares graduates to be professional in research and in teaching at the university level."
