students reportedhaving a disability [30]. This data shows that disability is prevalent in all populations, includinghigher education.Barriers experienced by disabled STEM studentsIn post-secondary educational settings, many disabled students experience barriers thatnegatively impact their academic experience and prevent them from fully accessing educationalspaces, materials, and opportunities [31]. Some of these barriers include: biased anddiscriminatory attitudes of faculty and staff, inaccessible spaces, uncomfortable physicalconditions in learning spaces such as laboratories, exclusion from social and academic groups,lower levels of financial support than non-disabled STEM students, and fewer mentorshipoptions [3], [32], [33].Additionally

involving teaching,research, and administrative duties (Campbell & Slaughter, 1999).Utilization of University ResourcesAcademic entrepreneurship can lead to the misuse of university resources, such as laboratories,libraries, servers, offices, equipment, supplies, and personnel, for a researcher’s private ventures.For example, faculty may use university-maintained research facilities to develop a product ortechnology that directly benefits their startup. They may use software, databases, computationaltools, or data generated through university-funded research for purposes beyond academic work.They may also assign startup work to graduate and undergraduate students or other researchpersonnel funded by the university, blurring the line between
technologies, such as circuits, oscilloscopes, and coding, to reinforcemathematical principles through applications.The mathematical topics included in the course have great breadth. The curriculum starts withalgebra and progresses to advanced topics, including lines, quadratics, trigonometry, vectors,sinusoids, systems of equations, derivatives, integrals, and differential equations. Mathematicaltopics are always related to engineering related word problems. And in addition, lab data is oftenprocessed with MATLAB. Students are gaining an understanding of the interconnectionbetween classroom theory, laboratory measurement and numerical representation of theirengineering results [2].Innovative Component:In Fall of 2024, one of the professors teaching 3

during the COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted the need forflexible instructional strategies that accommodate remote settings without sacrificingeducational quality.In engineering curricula—particularly in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics courses—therehas been a longstanding reliance on laboratory-based, hands-on experimentation [17]. However,the recent shift to virtual simulations and digital resources has prompted questions about therelative efficacy of these modalities compared to traditional physical interactions [10, 14]. As in-person classes resumed, it became crucial to evaluate how these different instructional methodsimpact student engagement and learning outcomes [1, 5].The present study addresses this need by systematically examining
