Russell Korte
Assistant Professor
My interests include investigating and understanding the social dynamics of learning and working in organizations. Recently, I have been studying the socialization experiences of newly hired engineers, engineering students, and medical students; specifically how they learn the cultural, social, and political norms (i.e., the unwritten rules) of the organizations in which they learn and work. Related to this I have conducted research with the Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education and the Collaborative Research Lab at Stanford University. This work entailed studying the experiences of engineering students as they learned their profession in school.more information...
