learning new skills with a semester-long independentdesign project. Every week, students attend a lecture dedicated to teaching and exemplifying theskills necessary for the week. Following the lecture, students have a weekly 4-hour, TA-ledlaboratory section that is split into a pre-lab consisting of tutorials for building the skills necessaryto complete the laboratory assignments and actual work on the lab within the context of theirdesign project. A schedule of the weekly topics covered can be found in Appendix A and arrangedsuch that students simultaneously develop their skills in CAE and apply those new skills to thedesign of their project.The design project chosen is a fidget toy colloquially known as a fidget spinner. This was chosenfor the

. The traditional instructional model, often a large class sizeor laboratory setting, involves lecture-based content instruction with students completing workoutside of scheduled course time (6). This formal learning environment is ineffective for mostlearners (17). Students at risk of non-matriculation are especially disadvantaged with atraditional lecture-based content delivery format (18, 19, 20). Students at risk of non-matriculation in engineering degree programs include students whose GPA is less than 3.0 andincludes individuals identifying as an underrepresented minority, or first-generation collegestudents. (21). As self-efficacy and academic success, including spatial visualization skills, play anessential role in engineering

Figure 5: Student selected their exploration topic for a variety of reasons.Overall AssessmentStudent performance was tracked for each project and is shown in Table 8. Additionally, a post-course survey was administered by the instructor on the last day of the semester (Friday of Week15). The students were asked to rate their competency with the course objectives on a Likertscale where Strongly Disagree corresponded to a score of 1 and Strongly Agree corresponded toa score of 5.
