Through periodic interviews, reflective expositions, industry engineer’s feedback, and a finalprogram presentation to the UR committee, we highlight the developmental gains in personal, professionaland technical skills areas. Increases in student’s self-confidence and efficacy created a feeling of beingjob-ready, and provided a better understanding of their future career direction. Reflections and facultyobservations, indicated a heighten appreciation for interdisciplinary skills and improved soft-skills,indispensable in today’s graduating engineers.INTRODUCTIONAs industry-experienced faculty, we focused on partnering with related industry for this experimentaldevelopment study in bio-liquid handler systems

It is a non-profit youth development program that combines amateur wrestling withmentoring and academic development. The overarching aim is to enhance personal development,discipline, and sense of self-efficacy along with concrete skills and knowledge in areas relevantfor overall career and life success. The summer STEM (and financial literacy) program drawsprimarily minority male students who are already high school athletes. The program typicallyenrolls 30 students between the ages of 14-18.

education limiting their motivation andsuccess in math and statistics. Mathematics and Statistics serve as foundation for all programs inScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM); therefore, lower success inmathematics can also affect their decisions to follow a STEM career [12], but also underminetheir success in engineering courses [13], [14]. The issue of anxiety and lack of confidence intheir abilities can be worse for female students who are often raised under the stereotypic viewthat females are not good at math [15].Enhancing math problems with RL examples can provide deeper understanding of math conceptsand skills [5], [3]. It can also motivate students to learn more about how math can be used in reallife, experiencing a

]. Traditional classroom teaching is often based on lecturing and examinations; therefore, theymight lack going beyond teaching students technical and discipline-specific skills.On the other hand, student competitions go beyond and offer students soft skills, which are thekey to successful experiential learning [6]. In engineering education, senior capstone projectshave become typical venues for teaching soft skills as well; however, these are often still limitedwith class-time and curriculum expectations [7]. Capstone projects, by nature, are towards theend of students’ educational careers, and therefore, students may not have time to practice thesoft skills they just have exposure. Earlier research shows that students’ ability to understandethical

This extrapolation clearly limits the degree of confidence wecan have in the external validity of our findings. While practicing engineers begin their careers asengineering students, practicing engineers also experience further skills development andprofessional enculturation that will tend to modify their behavior and cognition. Thus, we mustregard our explanation of the historical allowables record as tentative.Future workThe real provocations concept is a useful, potentially-generalizable mechanism to help
