Students are welcome to work with eithersub-team, and can switch between them if they desire. The students meet with their sub-team each week to discuss progress and assign new work. There is also an active Slackchannel used by the team throughout the week. Students give a presentation in week 5 ofthe semester outlining their goals for the semester, and in the final weeks of the semesterthey give a second presentation to demonstrate their progress and start planning for thenext semester. In addition to the weekly sub-team meetings, leaders from each groupalso meet regular with the team advisor to discuss any issues that come up

Each car and spacecraft has the probability for a random event to occur, meant to simulatethe spontaneity of road and space travel. Moreover, players must plan the timing of each movement theymake with careful precision. The movements of each car and spacecraft are closely coupled with eachother. All of the aforementioned serve as an introduction to dynamics and controls, an important elementof aerospace engineering, which addresses problems relating to modeling, simulation, and control ofaerospace systems.

Each group had around 60 minutes to work, and they were initially told tobuild the map using the pieces provided and follow the map given to them. Then, the studentscreated their algorithm to help the robot mouse reach the cheese overcoming obstacles on theway.

The purpose of ergonomics application in industry is to make the workplacebest fit for the workers to ensure their comfort and safety. It impacts the workers’ satisfaction, reduces thenumber of injuries and production rate. To maximize the safety and productivity of a workingenvironment, an ergonomic approach must evaluate every aspect of the workplace and appropriatelyimplement rules, guidelines, and plans.

Indeed, persons with disabilities are equally likely to enter engineeringmajors, but graduate with engineering degrees at lower rates. Similarly, only 65% of personswith disabilities who have an engineering or science degree are employed in STEM, versus 85%of persons without disabilities [9].

Due to the impact of COVID in Spring 2020, the withdrawal deadline forour institution was pushed back significantly and also students planned to utilize the alreadyadvertised pass/fail policy. These reasons could seem to explain the low withdrawal rate and highfailure rate. In Fall 2020, students were offered to take the pass/fail policy on any two courses, butthis was announced much later in the semester. By then most students had already withdrawn fromthe course.

The National Academy of Sciences suggests that with improvedmentoring, “students' educational experience, morale, career planning and placement, andprofessional competence” [3, p. 65] will be enhanced. However, for this mentoring relationshipto flourish and be satisfactory, it requires effort by both parties which would ultimately create a‘mutually beneficial’ partnership between the faculty mentor and the
