OverviewAI-generated summary

Jenn Campbell's research program investigates educational frameworks and interventions designed to enhance psychological safety, belonging, and decision-making skills, particularly within engineering education. She serves as PI on two NSF grants totaling $579,019. The first, funded at $400,000, focuses on establishing an undergraduate engineering track to prepare students for design-oriented occupations through regional industry partnerships. The second grant, for $179,019, supports collaborative research to identify longitudinal trends in psychological safety and its correlation with a sense of belonging and success beliefs.

Campbell's recent publications reflect a diverse range of interests. In 2023, she co-authored a literature review examining the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals in Canadian primary care and emergency departments. Her work also extends to engineering education, with multiple publications in progress or recently published that explore frameworks for improv interventions to increase psychological safety and belonging on student design teams, the development of engineering judgment, and the relationship between stakeholder identification and divergent thinking. She has also published on mapping AI-related skill trends in mechanical engineering for workforce development.

Campbell collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Leidy Klotz, Jeremy Tull, Yakhoub Ndiaye, and David C. Jensen, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 2 across 12 publications, with a total of 26 citations.
