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 addition of stools or step-ladders would significantly reduce the portability of the classroom kits, so we plan to revise thedirections in the lab manual for the third and highest penstock height. We will revise thedirections to instruct students to raise the upper reservoir height to six feet “or as high as you cancomfortably reach.” The exact height is not critical; we simply want students to observe thegreater turbine power output and energy storage at higher reservoir heights.V.

interventions designed to improve student persistence across all student groups. Perhapsthe most relevant finding in support of the research discussed in this paper is that increasing thefrequency of asking students to retrieve precalculus skills improves their retention acrosssubsequent semesters, better preparing them for courses later in their plans of study and tocomplete their engineering degrees [8]. It should be noted that while that study investigated thefrequency of retrieval in a precalculus course, it follows that incorporating space retrieval withinlater mathematics courses would benefit students.Considering the impact of calculus courses on retention and persistence within engineeringprograms, there is a clear need for intervention
