Ellen Nightingale, a masters’ student in the Department of Civil, Construction & Environmental Engineering and a Trinect fellow for the 2016-2017 academic year, has had a valuable impact on STEM education at Studebaker Elementary in Des Moines. Nightingale served as the resident transportation engineer and taught a class of elementary students how to think like engineers. She saw the impact of her teaching by looking at student drawings of what they thought engineers look like.
