Aaron M. Kyle focuses on enhancing undergraduate education by teaching First Year Design, Senior Design, and Bioinstrumentation. He aspires to create new courses that provide robust design experiences for undergraduates in their final years of study. Dr. Kyle is involved in devising methods to research the efficacy of addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion issues in design projects within engineering education. In 2014, he created and launched the HYPOTHEKids Maker Lab, an NIH-funded initiative designed to introduce underprivileged and underrepresented minority high school students in New York City to engineering design and biomedical research. Through this program, 160 high school students learned the applied bio-engineering design process, which propelled them into biomedical laboratory and biotechnology industry internships and the pursuit of STEM majors. He has also guided New York City teachers in the development of engineering design-centric courses for middle and high school students, which are currently taught in seven high schools, impacting 1000 students. Since moving to Duke, Dr. Kyle is working to replicate these efforts for students and teachers in Durham, NC, and surrounding communities.
