Mani Sehgal PhD, MBA

College of Professional Studies - School of Education

Dean, College of Professional Studies

Mani holds a PhD in STEM Education from the University of Victoria. He teaches mathematics education courses for both Bachelor’s and Master’s level education students. In addition, Mani taught courses in the Mathematics Department for six years and has been the College of Professional Studies Dean for the last ten years.

Mani’s research is situated at the intersection of mathematics and STEM education, educational technology, and pedagogical design. His scholarly work examines how emerging digital technologies can be theoretically grounded and pedagogically leveraged to enhance student learning, engagement, and assessment practices in mathematics classrooms.

A central focus of his research explores the implications of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) for teaching, learning, and assessment in STEM education. Specifically, he investigates theoretical frameworks for the responsible integration of GAI tools, including the re-conceptualization of academic integrity, authorship, and assessment validity in technology-rich learning environments. His work contributes to ongoing discourse on policy adaptation, ethical use, and instructional design principles that support meaningful learning while maintaining academic rigor in the age of GAI.

Mani is also actively involved in helping lead the dual credit initiative in collaboration with several high schools on Oʻahu.
