In fact, many institutions haveallowed for this opportunity in 3D printing labs for students to rapidly prototype their circuitdesigns and other 3-D printed projects. Further, we see a high importance for students to learnpractical aspects of circuit design in the sophomore year, and to retain ECE students who feel agreater level of accomplishment in computer science courses or plan to drop out.

major since the students are exposed to all levels ofcognitive difficulties such as, applying and linking the fundamental knowledge and theories into amore complex real-world application. Learning-by-doing can be very impactful in comprehendingabstract engineering concepts at the introductory level. So, a first-year scholar develops learn-to-learn by yourself skills by learning-by-doing. Some important benefits of participating inundergraduate research that might assist in the student’s preparation for either graduate educationor a professional career, include gaining experience and learning the research process, increasingknowledge and how the knowledge is applied, defining their future career plan, learning aboutacademia and graduate life

Here are someways that our students and faculty have said they have grown with the Solar Decathlon: • How to sell a story • Learning how to get architecture and engineering students to work together • Increasing their ability for proactive planning and research • Growing their own agency and confidence • Finding external partners

the vast majority of class activities anddeliverables are team-based. In-class lesson plans, especially those associated with buildingtowards the Cornerstone Project, are scaffolded in a manner such that resolution becomes moredependent on team dynamics as the semester progresses. ENGR 111 student feedback pertainingto the teamwork experience had been overwhelmingly positive prior to the pandemic [3].ENGR 111 also employs various forms of active learning, including collaborative, cooperative,problem-based, project-based, and discovery-based learning [8-16]. Cooperative learning takesplace when students pursue common goals as a team while being assessed individually and hasbeen shown to increase students’ sense of belonging, which, in turn

Although we were unable to undergo a thorough validation andreliability verification process for the added survey items, we felt it was acceptable to moveforward due to the fast-paced nature of the pandemic. We plan to continue to collect survey data and as classes move to in-person and hybridformats, recruiting participants will likely be more successful. We plan to conduct interviewswith students, selecting participants based on their demographics and the depth of their originalresponses to the survey.

Roehrig and Moore expand upon this position stating, “... toprepare students to address the problems of our increasingly technological society, it is necessary toprovide them with opportunities to understand the problems through rich, engaging, and powerfulexperiences that integrate the disciplines of STEM” (Roehrig et al., 2012).

from theco-teacher would be from a similar perspective as the course student, a practice typically employed by co-hosts to make the topic more appealing to the audience [18]. For example, the co-teacher may ask agenuine or pre-planned question that leads to an alternate explanation, potentially leading to furtherdiscussions and helping students to better understand the topic. Studies indicate that students can alsoimprove their question asking skills from similar interactions as part of a vicarious learning strategy [19].This concept of employing graduate students as co-teachers is comparable to how students in fields suchas education and social science are traditionally trained through practicum courses and real-worldteaching

Engineering design tasks require students to engage with both the technical and thesocial as they navigate the complexities of collaborative decision-making. Oftentimes, decisionpoints are where these technical and social aspects of engineering come to a head; students mustwork collaboratively to choose a solution, while balancing the disciplinary ideas relevant to theirdesign problem.
