Todd Kelley is in his third year at Purdue University as an Assistant Professor in the College of Technology. He completed his doctoral degree in 2008. The title of his dissertation is Examination of Engineering Design in Curriculum Content and Assessment Practices of Secondary Technology Education. In November 2008, Todd Kelley and Johannes Strobel from Engineering Education at Purdue received a seed grant from NCETE to conduct research titled: PLTW and EPICS High: Curriculum Comparisons to Support of Problem Solving in the Context of Design. A paper from this study was presented by Kelley and Mr. Jon Pieper (an undergraduate research assistant) at ASEE North Mid-West Sectional Conference in October, 2009. Todd was the keynote speaker at the Epsilon Pi Tau Honorary Society Breakfast and the ITEA conference in Louisville, KY presenting Defining the ‘T’ in STEM. He was awarded the Silvius-Wolansky Outstanding Scholarly Publication in Technology Education, March at the 2009 ITEA conference. Dr. Kelley's dissertation was published in the Journal of Industrial Teacher Education (Now the Journal of sTEm Teacher Education) in a three-part series.  Dr. Kelley received Outstanding Dissertation Manuscript award for Volume 46 of JITE, Authors: Todd Kelley and Robert C. Wicklein (Major advisor). Dr. Kelley is working with a team of Purdue STEM faculty on a NSF MSP (Math and Science Partnership) project titled SLED (Science Learning through Engineering Design).  The SLED project partners Purdue educational researchers with 3-6 grade classroom teachers in Indiana to infused engineering design activities to improve science instruction.  The five year, 6.7 million dollar project is a true integrative effort drawing expertise from the College of Technology, College of Education, and College of Engineering at Purdue.
