in college● Existing accommodations developed for traditional learning environments 2 The summary of what we are going to talk about today is this: ● Pedagogical approaches within engineering have been shifting. Project-based learning, studio environments, and team projects are increasingly popular in undergraduate engineering programs across the country. ● Many emerging practices are helpful in supporting students with disabilities, such as multi-modal learning, availability of electronic resources (increasingly common with “flipped” classrooms), and assistive technology. ● At the same time, there’s been an
Physics and Astronomy and Director of the CASTLE Center for Advancing STEM Teaching, Learning & Evaluation at Rochester Institute of Technology. His educa- tion research includes projects on the development of identity and affiliation in physics majors throughout their undergraduate career, and, separately, how physicists express conceptual meaning in mathemati- cal formalism. He has co-directed the PEER faculty development program for four years, integrating emerging research projects into ongoing programmatic activities that seek to improve the retention of first-generation and deaf/hard-of hearing students in STEM disciplines. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019Improving
