Education
Dr. Javeed Kittur is an Assistant Professor in the Engineering Pathways program within the Gallogly College of Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. He earned his Ph.D. in Engineering Education Systems and Design from Arizona State University in 2022, following a Master’s degree in Power Systems (2014) and a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) from India. Before joining OU in Fall 2022, he served as an Assistant Professor in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at KLE Technological University, India (2014–2018). Dr. Kittur is also a certified IUCEE International Engineering Educator and serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Engineering Education Transformations (JEET).
At OU, Dr. Kittur leads a dynamic research group comprising engineering education doctoral students and numerous undergraduate researchers. Since 2022, he has mentored over 30 undergraduate engineering students, many of whom have gone on to publish their work in renowned conferences and journals. He finds mentoring undergraduate researchers to be an enriching, transformative, and rewarding experience for both students and faculty mentors. His commitment to student success has been recognized through multiple prestigious awards, including the 2025 Nancy L. Mergler Faculty Mentor Award for Undergraduate Research, the 2025 Brandon H. Griffith Outstanding Faculty Member Award, and the 2024 Student Government Association Outstanding Faculty Award.
Dr. Kittur’s research focuses on advancing engineering education through innovative and data-driven approaches. His scholarly interests include the integration of generative AI in engineering education, improving student retention in online and in-person programs, applying data mining and learning analytics to better understand student learning, broadening participation in engineering, and enhancing faculty preparedness across the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains of learning. He also investigates faculty experiences in teaching online courses. His research has been published in leading venues such as the International Conference on Transformations in Engineering Education (ICTIEE), American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), Computer Applications in Engineering Education, Frontiers in Education, International Journal of Engineering Education, Journal of Engineering Education Transformations, and IEEE Transactions on Education.
