Our research group was launched from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue Fort Wayne in 2022. We are a community of learners interested in a variety of areas, including but not limited to service-learning, technology in education, engineering design, and teamwork.

Mission Statement

In the Freitas Lab, we are motivated by our conviction that engineers have a social responsibility to build a sustainable and resilient future. Our mission is to understand the ways in which engineering education fosters students' agency and inspires the next generation to become more socially and environmentally responsive.

Stay tuned for updates on research, courses, outreach, and potential opportunities in our lab.
