disruption to their curriculum and coursework, they are more often engaged inresearch that depends on access to physical laboratories and specialized equipment.This study therefore aims to answer the following research question: How did engineeringgraduate students experience the transition to non-traditional/alternative learning duringthe COVID-19 pandemic? To answer this question, we analyzed qualitative data collected usingthe SenseMaker platform in response to the prompt "Imagine you are talking to a friend or familymember about the evolving COVID-19 crisis. Describe something you encountered as anengineering student." Participants’ responses were analyzed using best practices in qualitative codingtechniques following an inductive, open-coding

backwards design principles alongside Universal Designfor Learning [39], our program is distinctive in its dual innovation: the reverse engineeringdevelopment approach and deliberate alignment with faculty professional developmentprogramming. Recent applications of backwards design in STEM education have shown promisein specific disciplines, such as molecular biology course-based undergraduate researchexperiences [40] and chemistry laboratory instruction [41], but few programs have applied thisapproach specifically to graduate student inclusive teaching preparation across STEM fields. Wefind this particularly useful, as we are providing professional development to individuals (bothfaculty and graduate students) in instructional or instructional

integrate research-based pedagogies into their teaching. Byunderstanding how GTA identities evolve, this study contributes to the creation of more effectivePD programs that support GTAs as they transition into skilled educators.IntroductionGraduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) play a pivotal role in undergraduate STEM education,serving as instructors in laboratories and recitation sections of large introductory courses. GTAsnot only deliver instructional content but also support student engagement and foster activelearning strategies that are vital for effective education. Structured professional development (PD)programs, such as pre-semester workshops, are often implemented to help GTAs navigate theirteaching responsibilities, improve their
