Professor Paul S. Steif received a Sc.B. in engineering from Brown
University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University in applied
mechanics. Before joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering at
Carnegie Mellon University in 1983, Steif was a NSF NATO Postdoctoral
Fellow at the University of Cambridge. He currently focuses on cognition
and learning in engineering. As part of that work, Steif develops and
implements new approaches and technologies to improve engineering instruction
and to measure student learning. His research also includes a project
to improve cryopreservation of biological tissues, through a greater
understanding of stress development during freezing, vitrification,
and thawing. Steif is a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers.
