Leaders create their lesson plans the week before conducting sessions and submit them to their graduate supervisor or SI Coordinator for feedback and revision. The lesson plan template for fall 2020 was edited to include a section where the SI Leaders were required to detail and describe the community-building strategy they chose to use that week. As each session had the same cohort of students, the SI Leaders were able to conduct activities that went beyond the superficial icebreaker and develop a cohesive community within each cohort. We determined that limiting the number of students to 12 per

. Thislaboratory model has not changed significantly in several generations of engineers, and this visionis remarkably common for seasoned engineers and fresh graduates alike. While bench electronictest equipment has traditionally filled a critical need in engineering education, it has severaldrawbacks.Bench test equipment is expensive and outfitting a lab with a dozen or more stations is a majorfinancial investment by the institution. The bench equipment wears out or becomes obsolete overtime and has to be replaced periodically, with a recurring cost every 10-15 years. The equipmentis physically large, taking up valuable lab space, and is heavy, rendering the equipment immobile.It is common to have bench equipment permanently mounted to the bench itself
