thestudents as is.As a general takeaway from the student survey, it appears that students most enjoy and value theactivities that allow them to apply their engineering knowledge gained in the classroom in apractical setting which encourages interactions with others. This is consistent with what has beenfound in other programs [11]. The least enjoyment appears to come from times when they aremeeting with faculty and TAs, either for help or for the expected mentoring needed in the program.However, receiving help when needed through office hours appears to be highly valued by thosewho utilize the opportunity.Eleven of the PECS program scholars attended the 2020 Annual Emerging Researchers National(ERN) Conference in Science, Technology, Engineering and

developed throughlecture based instruction [1], [2]. This particular experiment was based on similar modulesdeveloped when CU Smead Aerospace dramatically changed to include extensive hands-onlearning and teaching in the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory [3]. The pedagogicalpurpose is to enhance students overall understanding of fundamental engineering conceptsthrough experiential learning while using up to date hardware and software in order to maintainpace with current technology. The use of this particular experiential learning apparatus in alecture/lab connected environment builds upon an extensive amount of literature in activeexperiential learning [4], [5] and has repeatedly been shown as an effective strategy to enhancelearning

into an REU Site in the U.S. SouthIntroductionParticipating in a research experience for undergraduates (REU) site provides opportunities forstudents to develop their research and technical skills, raise their awareness of graduate studies[1], and understand the social context of research [2]. In support of this mission, our REU site atThe University of Alabama (Sensors, Systems and Signal Processing Supporting SpeechPathology) is exploring research at the intersection of engineering and communicative disorders.Our site has a focused theme of developing technology to support clinical practice in the field ofcommunication sciences and disorders; which is an applied behavioral science that includesscreening, assessment, treatment, and technology
reliability testing to the adoption of new semiconductormaterials cannot be understated as emerging power electronics demand a high degree of safety inoperation. In order to facilitate the adoption of new semiconductor materials, it is necessary tomature the understanding of these materials through rigorous stress testing and failure analysis.By streamlining the design of these types of tests, we can encourage engineers at all levels toproduce more research into these devices with minimal time commitment on their part. This notonly allows junior engineers to contribute to emerging technologies but also gives educators away to involve students in laboratory exercises while still operating within the constraints of theCOVID-19 environment.

self-configuring robots is self-explanatory. Self-configuring modular robots are further adaptable when compared to their user-configurable counterparts since they use morphing algorithms. [5][6][7] A fairly recently developed self-configured modular robot employs adaptive locomotion with Bluetooth technology built into each module. [8]This project was originally envisioned as a reverse engineering effort focusing on twocommercially available modular robotic toys, Cubelets and MOSS from Modular Robotics. Afterlearning about their structure and detail designs, the focus was shifted to utilizing MOSSmodules in teaching industrial robot configurations (i.e. articulated robots including SelectivelyCompliant Articulated
