. Similarly, Olds & Miller [18] examined thecumulative GPAs of multiple student cohorts, but the analysis compared students across groups (thosewho participated in an integrated curriculum intervention and a control) rather than studying the shifts andtrajectories of students’ GPAs without intervention.In this work, we seek to fill this gap by studying students’ GPA over time. By doing so, we may betterunderstand how GPA functions more generally before attempting to pinpoint specific factors thatinfluence GPA positively or negatively. Based on the evidence emphasizing the importance of grades andGPA as a research tool and as an influential aspect of students’ academic lives and overall wellbeing, wealso seek to share the tools of our analysis

Students expressed both appreciation for an in-person experience but also thechallenges of engaging with their peers across multiple platforms. For winter 2021, we are onlyoffering the course in an online synchronous format. While it’s helpful to have everyone on thesame platform, we are looking forward to a return to an in-person environment in fall 2021.Another takeaway from student input and our own reflection on the course has been to includemore direct engagement with the competencies.

Each student in the course purchases an Arduino starterset as the course “textbook” for individual ownership and more personalized experimentation inlearning about common engineering sensors and actuators.
