DYLAN REYES

Dylan Reyes is an electrical engineering student at the University of Texas at San Antonio and an IES Pathways Fellow with a strong interest in engineering education research. Through his experiences as a student, Dylan observed how access to resources, mentorship, and engaging learning experiences shape academic pathways, motivating his commitment to making STEM education more accessible and effective.

Through the Pathways Program, Dylan explores how different instructional approaches impact student understanding, retention, and problem-solving skills in electrical engineering, with a particular focus on traditional, structured laboratory exercises and open-ended, design-based projects. He hopes to apply his engineering and research skills to help design learning experiences that better prepare students for advanced coursework and real-world engineering practice while making technical fields more accessible.
