Bio/Research

Dr. Julie Vale is a faculty member in the Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering at the University of Guelph and an engineering education researcher. She received her Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo and joined Guelph in 2012. She has held multiple academic leadership roles, including Associate Director, Undergraduate Studies (Engineering), and is a fellow of the Canadian Engineering Education Association and a University of Guelph Teaching Leadership Fellow.

A trained systems and control theorist, Dr. Vale’s current research focuses on the role of student mindsets in engineering education. She investigates how empathy, social justice, and socio-technical thinking impact values-based learning outcomes and influence how engineers understand and engage with their responsibilities to society. Her work advances approaches to engineering education that foreground the social dimensions of engineering practice.
