Session Description

The number of disabled students in higher education is growing (NCES, 2022), but they
are still underrepresented in engineering education research, both as a study population of
interest and in their representation within broader studies of engineering student experiences.
Our goal is to increase representation of disabled students in research by increasing the
accessibility of research designs. Increased accessibility can also support participation of non-
disabled and neurotypical students in engineering education research studies. According to
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) goals, “ ... (continued)
