Improving Learning, Prioritizing Student Engagement, and Enhancing Identity Formation Through Hands-on Classroom Demonstrations
This project studies the benefits of implementing tailored hands-on experimental classroom demonstrations to highlight real-world applications of concepts in lecture-based courses. The motivation for this work stems from the limited opportunities undergraduate engineering students have to visualize contemporary applications discussed in core courses as well as to develop engineering-based intuition before the junior year.
Collaborative Learning Between Designers & Developers
User experience (UX) designers in industry create design prototypes and hand them off to software developers to implement in code which is returned to the designers for feedback. Typically, designers follow an iterative cycle comprising the circle of design, prototype, and test. This cycle is repeated until the product meets the desired user experience.

Bilingual Training Program in Audiology (Digital Badge)
The majority of the clinical population served at the UT Speech and Hearing Center is Spanish-speaking, yet there is no audiology-specific training for students providing care. This program provides targeted training for audiology graduate students to best serve their Spanish-speaking patients. The culmination of this experience results in a digital badge provided by the Moody College of Communication, which can be viewed here.
