OverviewAI-generated summary
Trina Fletcher's research investigates the experiences of students and professionals within STEM fields, with a particular focus on underrepresented groups. Her work examines factors influencing degree attainment, sense of belonging, and job satisfaction. Fletcher is the Principal Investigator on an NSF-funded project totaling $199,999, focused on addressing leadership crises in STEM broadening participation and research capacity building at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Her publications explore themes such as the impact of COVID-19 on the sense of belonging for engineering students and staff at HBCUs, and the challenges faced by underrepresented students during the pandemic. Fletcher also studies the relationship between remote work and satisfaction among Black engineers and computer scientists. She has also investigated strategies for maximizing accessibility in summer engineering programs for youth from underrepresented backgrounds and developed an instrument to assess alumni success linking undergraduate experiences to graduate pathways at HBCUs.
Fletcher's research interests extend to the utilization of generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, by students to inform decision-making related to finances and degree attainment. She also explores ethical and transformative pedagogy in engineering education aimed at fostering a socially conscious future. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 7, with 43 total publications and 163 citations.
