Dr. Goldberg received her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on biomechanics from Stanford University. She then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the National Institutes of Health before joining Hofstra’s faculty in 2007. At Hofstra she teaches courses in mechanical engineering, materials science and biomechanics. Her primary area of research is in engineering education, focusing on the use of metacognitive writing prompts to help engineering students learn to identify and ask productive questions to support their learning. In addition, Dr. Goldberg is involved in research studying the biomechanics of human movement.
