Dr. Carmen Cioc is an Associate Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Technology program at The University of Toledo (UT). She received a Master in Aerospace Engineering from Politehnica University of Bucharest, a Master in Physics and a Ph.D. in Engineering, in the field of thermal sciences, from UT. She currently teaches in the Mechanical Engineering Technology Program, and oversees the College of Engineering’s Online Part-Time Master of Science (PTMS) in Engineering (General and Energy concentrations) programs.
Some of her research interests are related to engineering education, especially development and implementation of innovative pedagogical strategies, including active learning, problem- and project- based learning, peer assisted learning, entrepreneurial mindset learning, inclusiveness, etc.
Dr. Cioc is an active member of The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). She has been the UT’s ASEE campus representative since January 2019, member of the North Central Section Board since fall 2018 and elected Director since Spring 2022. Since July 2022, Dr. Cioc was elected as board member of ASEE Engineering Technology Division – ETD – Mechanical ET Heads Committee. In March 2021, she organized and chaired the 2021 ASEE NC Section Conference, hosted virtually by UT.
Additionally, Dr. Cioc is an Engineering Unleashed Ambassador and a 2021 Engineering Unleashed Fellow, continuing promoting an entrepreneurial minded learning in engineering.
At UT level, some of Dr. Cioc’s leadership activities include: member in the Faculty Senate (since Fall 2022); member of the UT’s Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) advisory board; and Catherine S. Eberly Center for Women Advisory Board member (since July 2022). She also holds several leadership positions at College and Department levels.
