Sarah Wilson is an Assistant Professor in Chemical Engineering at the University of Kentucky. She started at UK in 2015 as a lecturer in Chemical Engineering with a goal to provide her students with the same undergraduate focused education that she obtained through college at Rowan University. Over the first five years of her career, her passion for research in engineering education grew organically from her desire to improve herself as an educator and to meet the needs of her students. In August of 2020, she was promoted to an Assistant Professor with research in the area of engineering education. With a teaching interest in supporting student communication skill development and student mental health and wellness, her research is focused primarily in these areas. In 2020, she received an NSF Research Initiation in Engineering Formation grant to student mental health-related help-seeking beliefs in engineering undergraduate students. This research has allowed her to expand her skillset in social science research skills and develop expertise in both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
