Miura ori fold which demonstrated interesting material properties like thenegative Poisson’s ratio. In addition, the students predicted and then tested the strength of thefolded paper. The teaching module is presented here. In this course, the students are usuallyexposed to different materials every week. They then pick one material and study it in-depth inthe last few weeks of class as their project. Three of the nine students in the class picked thistopic. Details of the projects are also presented here. Additionally, what worked, what did notwork, and why, is then discussed in this paper, along with suggestions for improvement.Introduction: Origami has been used for several years as works of art, but in recent years has been usedfor

) providing opportunities for leadership, mentorship,and networking.xxiiiThe Researcher Incubator technique developed originally by Traum & Karackattu was applied tosuccessfully engage URSP students in the research enterprise. xxiii The Researcher Incubator positsthat if students are 1) taught needed skills, 2) empowered by group work, and 3) vested withserious responsibility they will spontaneously find and/or develop whatever knowledge isrequired to succeed on the project.xxii This technique has proven effective to engage lowerdivision engineering students and even high school students in productive research.Two URSP freshmen were recruited into the project. These students enrolled in a research-for-credit course in parallel with a classroom

- terials science instructor for the Engineering 1 program at McMaster University. He was also one of the lead project developers for the first-year multidisciplinary project-based learning course (ENG 1P13). Dr. Yu’s pedagogical approach focuses on experiential learning, collaborative learning, gamified learning, student-centred education, and design-led materials science education. Dr. Yu joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the U. of Victoria in September 2022 as an Assistant Professor. He leads a research group (”Hybrid 3D”) that leverages additive manufacturing to develop new generations of hy- brid materials that are lightweight, recyclable and highly tunable to solve global sustainable development

reasonably expectthat most juniors have more practice and experience with computational tools than freshmen, andtherefore would have higher confidence in their abilities. Fig. 1. Plots depicting comparisons between NCS freshman and junior mean responses regardingprogramming/simulation self-efficacy (a) and valuation (b). For all questions relating to self-efficacy, the Likert scale translates to 1 = “Not at all confident” to 6 = “Extremely Confident.” For self-efficacy questions, the scale translates to 1 = “Strongly Disagree” to 6 = “Strongly Agree.”Our findings revealed a surprising similarity in NCS freshmen and junior mean responses related tomotivation and ability to strategize for programming and simulation-related projects
