required students to submit videos demonstratingthe functionality of projects or lab exercises and explaining their results. This has proven bothhelpful for grading and formative for students helping them synthesize info and recognize themost significant concepts.One of the most significant results of teaching during the pandemic has been the increased use ofvirtual platforms for invited guest speakers. Professors can open the classroom to anyone fromanywhere. The authors have previously discussed a multi-institution, multi-year projectinvolving a guest lecture to FYE classes [6]. This effort has included in-person presentations(pre-pandemic), “live” virtual presentations, and recorded sessions. The availability of live orpre-recorded video

it to align properly with their course project. Future modules willinclude Ohm's Law and examples of application, use of actuators (motors), and how to safelypower a system via a battery or other external power source.Goals of WorkshopThe purpose of this workshop is to expose and train instructors on how to deliver and integratethis electronics fundamentals module into their courses. While experiencing the fun hands-onactivities from a “student’s perspective” the team will share their scalability strategy, lessonslearned, and then open up for further discussion regarding other integrative engineeringeducational approaches. This workshop is intended to serve as an additional resource on bestpractices for adding and scaling effective technical

below pre-calculus. Yet, despite being academicallyunderprepared (AUP) by traditional program standards, youth are responding to invitations topursue these career fields. Significant research and financial resources focus on increasingretention in engineering and computing, including the problem of practice study informing thiswork-in-progress paper [11], [12]. To truly understand the AUP student experience, a complextheoretical framework was developed for this project and is the focus of this work in progresspaper. II. Complex Problems Need Complex Frameworks Systems influencing human development are described by Albert Bandura [13] and UrieBronfenbrenner [14]–[16] as external and internal to the individual.

would be that students overestimate their motivationlevels when a class starts. To test the reliability of our findings regarding early and late-term differences, weplan to include all first-year engineering students in a future iteration of this project, resulting in a sample sizeestimated to be well over 300 students.We also conducted a path analysis to test the hypothesized impact of a caring instructor on the other motivationfactors. We hypothesized that the caring factor would significantly predict student empowerment throughmodel in which caring had both a direct effect on empowerment, and indirect effects on empowerment throughthe success, interest, and usefulness factor scores. In other words, we believed that success, interest
