Joe Le Doux

Professor Le Doux’s teaching interests center on designing interactive, student-centered cognitive apprenticeship environments that promote deep, transferable learning. His instruction emphasizes the use of interactive learning pedagogies, such as the Problem-Solving Studio, to strengthen students’ ability to reason, construct and refine models, and solve complex engineering problems. He also incorporates story-driven learning to support professional formation, reflective capacity, and the capacity to connect engineering practice to authentic societal needs. Across these efforts, Professor Le Doux prioritizes teaching that develops not only technical expertise, but also inter- and intrapersonal competencies such as collaborative problem solving, cognitive flexibility, and model-based reasoning.
