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

Science (B.S.) program requires a one-semester capstone design course. In thesame department, the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program curriculum also requires aproject management capstone style course. This requirement is among several differences whichseparates the M.Eng. program, which focuses on preparation for industry, from a Master ofScience (M.S.) which typically reflect more academic and research focus. Recently, UIUCcombined the capstone program for undergraduates and the M.Eng. capstone program into ajointly offered course. The details of the merger can be found in an earlier article [11].There are several key benefits to combining the two programs intended to enhance theexperience for students and instructors. One benefit of a joint

The goals of his research are 1) to develop tools and pedagogies that support engineers in achieving the positive societal changes that they envision and 2) to address systems of oppression that exist within and are reproduced by engineering education and work environments. He earned his B.S. in Engineering Sciences from Yale University, with a double major in East Asian Studies, and earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan. He also holds a Graduate Certificate in Chinese and American Studies, jointly awarded by Johns Hopkins University and Nanjing University in China.Prof

preferencing personal experience or expertknowledge but suggesting that the knowledge in the textbook may imperfectly reflect theexperiment being performed.The quantitative results with the highest scores are questions 1 and 12. Students agree that theyconsider as many different solutions as possible and that they like to use their intuition to solveproblems. Most students strongly agreed that they consider as many different solutions aspossible to problems with a common response being “There are always multiple ways to get toan answer in engineering, you just have to be creative enough to find that route.” A student whoagreed with this question showed more reflection in the response “I feel like I am getting betterat trying to diversify my thoughts

-on experiences. The paper details the methodology, expected outcomes, connectionto ABET student learning outcomes, and assessment strategies. This WIP reflects a commitmentto advancing engineering education in response to the evolving demands of the profession.IntroductionExperimental curriculum in engineering has witnessed a decreasing involvement. Laboratorycourses are simply used to support and demonstrate theoretical aspects of core engineering classes[1]. Traditionally laboratory experiments involve a step-by-step procedure with a known outcome.However, this method has proven to be effective in demonstrating a concept, it limits the student’sengagement in learning and doesn’t enhance their problem-solving skills or creativity

Their study revealed that students expressed higher satisfaction whileperforming activities on the reflection of light in Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVE)compared to real-world scenarios.Furthermore, Cobb et al.'s study [22] supports the idea of using virtual laboratories beforereal-world experiments to enhance student preparation and organization, thereby reducing thedemand for demonstrator time. The study also revealed that virtual labs effectively facilitatedlearning gains and were well-received by students, underscoring the potential

Byintroducing elements such as varying design constraints or randomized features specific to eachproject, students are encouraged to think outside the box, ensuring a diversity of ideas. Thisapproach not only fosters innovation but also enriches learning as students draw inspiration fromthe wide array of solutions and perspectives presented by their peers' projects and existing softrobotic fish designs [3].Educational ContextThe presented robotic fish project

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.

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 current study contributed to the discourse on thetransformative potential of hands-on learning in the context of biology education.Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Digital Learning Lab, in one of their articles [26],conceptualized hands-on learning as a cyclical process that encompasses concrete experience,reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. A few studieshave shown how hands-on learning improves student outcomes, including motivation andengagement, conceptual knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving development.
