common thread from UDL, EM, and HCD is collaboratively identifying solutions to meet theneeds of many users. As such, methods from all three frameworks were applied throughout thisproject to identify potential improvements to the bioinstrumentation lab.Background on Participatory Action ResearchOne common application of participatory action research (PAR) is developing knowledge andidentifying opportunities for quality improvement. The PAR approach combines participants andexperts in the research of social practices [12]. Generally, PAR includes cycles of reflection,planning, action, and observation. In education, PAR can be employed by instructors who wishto improve their teaching or courses by gathering evidence of teaching effectiveness

the experimental procedures are neglected.This approach is appropriate in most science-based courses and usually results in equivalentlearning gains compared to traditional hands-on labs. However, such an approach mighthinder the development of essential skills associated with labs in engineering education.Among these skills, one might cite communication and collaboration, safety, designingexperiments, and learning from failure. Furthermore, a common critique regarding virtual labsrefers to the use of idealized data that usually does not reflect the uncertainties and nuances ofthe real world [10]. Also, these labs generally lack the sense of reality necessary to immersestudents in more authentic experiences.The use of virtual labs in

The comments were paraphrased below. • Comments reflecting safety incidents that were not reported to EH&S: o Students left a soldering iron on and unattended for an extended period. o Students were disassembling a large steel structure which was not properly supported

These questions askedstudents to reflect on their weaknesses in the lab learning outcomes as well as any weaknessesthey perceived in their departmental curriculum for these learning outcomes. These questionswere included to get the views of students currently in the programs, as these views may differfrom the views of faculty in the programs and alumni perceptions may be skewed by changes tocurricula over time and time since graduation.The survey design was approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at University ofKentucky.

-building workshops so students can put theoryinto practice, improve their confidence and knowledge, and build community.The ITLP intentionally considers how to make the lab an inclusive and safe space, and itsassessments have included non-cognitive aspects of user experiences. At the end of each term,students and faculty respond to approximately 20 closed-ended and four open-ended questions toprovide qualitative feedback about access, usage, satisfaction, the physical spaces, and technicalstaff. One student user noted, “Every year the ITLP strives to make the spaces better.” Otherstudents reflected, “Staff is approachable and friendly”; “I was never afraid to ask for help… [itfelt] like a safe place to fail”; “Inclusive; a very good place to turn

The vertical walls of the heating unit arecovered with aluminum foil that reflects the heat and increases the temperature of the plasticsheet that is mounted in an aluminum frame that sits on top of the heating unit. The distancefrom the heating element to the plastic sheet is 6.5” when the plastic is not heated. The sheetmetal pan is mounted on four 1.5” x 3.5” wooden studs, see Figure 3c), that elevates the pan withthe heating element from the base of the heating unit. The distance between the base and pan is9.5” and the distance between the studs in Figure 3c) is 9.5”.

A 30% success rate suggests that the escape room activity provided achallenge for the students at an appropriate difficulty. This is also comparable to commercialescape rooms which have reported a similar success rate of 26% [3].Effect of experience on communication and collaboration: Students were asked to reflect and rate the effectiveness of their teamwork andcommunication. The responses in the survey were divided by students who reported succeedingin the escape

university if I need it.”In the current reflection, students highlighted the financial challenges associated with internetaccess and having devices connected to the internet. One student suggested that providing freeinternet access or offering the ability to borrow or rent a university computer could ensure equalaccess for all. Another student mentioned that paying for internet services can be prohibitivelyexpensive, especially for those who do not live close to campus due to financial constraints.Therefore, remote lab developers should prioritize creating tools that are less dependent onresources that may be inaccessible to some students. This would help alleviate the digitalinequality barrier and promote more equitable access to remote lab

that this phenomenon reflected that students involved in project-based learning activities were more inclined to regard themselves as a part of the engineeringcommunity.The students in Motamedi’s study [19] tended to prefer the flipped classroom because of itsflexibility with their schedules, their ability to watch lectures when they felt motivated tolearn and when they knew that they would be able to stay focused, and their increasedengagement with short video content. A significant disadvantage was their inability to askquestions while learning the material; thus, students would go to class feeling confused andill-prepared. Vidic et al.’s [18] study of flipped classrooms addressed this issue by allowingstudents to post their questions about
