OverviewAI-generated summary

Leslie Massey's research focuses on engineering education, particularly the success and retention of students in engineering programs. Massey has explored the relationship between initial mathematics coursework and subsequent engineering graduation rates, investigating factors that contribute to student success, including those who are under-prepared or over-prepared for engineering studies.

Massey has also investigated pedagogical approaches such as implementing hybrid-flipped classroom models and the effectiveness of summer bridge programs designed to prepare incoming engineering students for the fall semester. These efforts aim to enhance student success through targeted interventions and innovative teaching methods. Massey's work is supported by collaborations with Aysa Galbraith, Heath Schluterman, Carol Gattis, and Karl D. Schubert at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom Massey has co-authored numerous publications.
