OverviewAI-generated summary

Aysa Galbraith's research focuses on understanding and improving student success in higher education, particularly within engineering programs. Her work investigates factors influencing engineering graduation rates, including the impact of initial mathematics coursework and the effectiveness of summer math bridge programs. Galbraith also explores strategies for retaining students, such as supporting over-prepared students and addressing the attitudes of freshman engineering students.

Her publications also examine pedagogical approaches, including the use of hands-on laboratory exercises in mathematics courses for engineers and student perceptions of mini-projects in introductory engineering. Furthermore, her research addresses broader aspects of student well-being, such as building resilient students through integrated campus support. Galbraith collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville on these research endeavors.
