Lubi Lenaburg has been collaborating with scientists, engineers, and STEM education staff at UCSB and beyond to design formative and summative evaluation plans for assessing the progress of research centers, education and professional development of trainees, and broader impact initiatives since 2004. This includes working with principal investigators at the concept stage to help them define appropriate education goals for their projects and identify measurable outcomes. She has developed strategic protocols for tracking current and former participants to determine academic and career choices post-participation and to evaluate long-term impacts of projects. She also works on campus-wide projects such as the assessment of program learning outcomes and tracking UCSB undergraduate alumni.
