Research Interests

As a professional track faculty, Professor Snedeker does not have scientific research as a core requirement. She does, however, pursue research in engineering education. Her specific interests include the integration of professional skills, such as communication, leadership, and teamwork, into the graduate and undergraduate curriculum. She also has current interests in leveraging LLMs such as ChatGPT into technical communication instruction and in the effects of such efforts on student motivation and learning.
