Welcome to HER Lab!

We are an engineering education lab in the Human-Centered Engineering program at Boston College.

Our research projects explore the affordances of educational technologies and humanistic design approaches, reenvision engineering epistemologies, and are centered on the communities we partner with.

Our work is motivated by the fundamental question of how engineering and technology can help people live well in an increasingly engineered world.

We are fortunate to be able to collaborate with youth clubs, schools, museums, community centers, and other research groups.
