Lulu Sun

Lulu Sun is a full professor of the Engineering Fundamentals Department at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where she has taught since 2006. She received her Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Riverside in 2006. Before joining Embry-riddle, she worked in the consulting firm of Arup at the Los Angeles office as a fire engineer. Her research interests include engineering education and its pedagogies such as flipped classrooms, gamification, and the entrepreneurial mindset in the programming language, and engineering graphics courses. She is a professional member of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers and a member of the American Society for Engineering Education. Visit her website to learn more. http://pages.erau.edu/~sunl/
