Dr. Dominick Manusos

Office address
212 C
College of Education Building

Dr. Dominick Manusos completed his B.S. in technology, engineering, and design education from North Carolina State University in 2013. He received his M.S. in appropriate technology from Appalachian State University in 2015. He completed his Doctor of Education in technology education from North Carolina State University in 2021.

His research interests include scaling down traditional lab-based hands-on projects so they can be implemented in modern classrooms that seem to be shrinking in space and budget. He hopes that by offering more affordable alternatives, teachers can continue to provide activities that engage students and foster their creativity without being so heavily reliant on classroom/laboratory square footage and an extensive budget.

He also enjoys working with industry professionals to identify current skills and industry needs that can be reflected in the teaching practices of modern curricula.

Since 2018, Manusos has found ways to collaborate with and support undergraduate students and their applied research. From learning new skills to implementing new technology into old practices to developing small-scale equipment to supplement modern curricula in a shrinking lab space.
