in STEM classrooms and its impact onundergraduate and graduate students. Students believe that the Universal Design for Learningprinciples benefit their learning. However, only a few faculty members implement theseprinciples. Most of the articles highlighted how students preferred Multiple Means ofRepresentation. The other two principles were barely explored. Researchers should examine howstudents feel about Multiple Means of Action and Expression and Multiple Means ofEngagement. Autumn Cuellar plans to explore all three principles in her dissertation by 5interviewing disabled engineering students, using this WIP paper as background

just always have to take a second and then engage (in) teacher mode.Author 1 described a difficult conversation with a student who was not meeting up with theiracademic expectations halfway into the semester (1AA). Because this student cried during thisconversation, she had to be empathic and sensitive while offering advice about changing theiracademic outcome. Both authors also recalled the challenge of effectively communicating valuablelearning objectives to the students through conversations and the types of assessments andstructure of the classroom (2AA, 2DM).Flexibility: This sub-theme describes the instructor’s willingness to deviate from set plans andadapt in real-time to unexpected situations

bring change. So, I would say that to be honest, that's one of the biggest driving forces for me to pursue engineering, the kinds of things that I want to generate in my country at some point because there are changes, and at a large scale, not just like local changes. It's still within my plans to go to my home country at some point and make those changes, but I don’t know if I would describe my work right now as fully related.
