H´ector’s research projects range from autoethnographic inquiries that investigate culturally informed collaborative qualitative research spaces, neurodivergence and disability in engineering, and examining the structural factors that impact student experiences in computer engineering courses. H´ector has taught various engineering courses and is invested in showing learners he cares about them and their future success. He creates a space where learners can feel safe to experiment, iterate, and try different problem-solving

Thesurvey questions focused on the students’ perceptions of their learning experiences, classroomand project engagement, confidence in applying theoretical concepts, and the perceivedrelevance of lab activities to practical applications. Findings revealed that 50% of the reportingstudents felt "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with the open-ended lab experience, while 83% foundthe experiences "extremely effective" or "effective" in enhancing their understanding of corefluid mechanics concepts. These results suggest that while satisfaction levels vary, students feltthe labs were highly effective and thus achieved their primary educational objectives.
