For critically ill patients in the US and worldwide, the mechanicalventilator supply was insufficient [1]–[3]. Indeed, the presence of more mechanical ventilators,in addition to therapeutic oxygen, skilled respiration staff, and ICU beds could have reduced the6.8 million COVID related death toll. While governments and private companies attempted tomeet the demand by maximizing the production of new ventilators, troubleshooting and repair ofexisting devices could have also ameliorated the available global supply [1], [2].Our bioengineering curriculum addresses this skill of troubleshooting with an advanced seniorlaboratory course called Troubleshooting for

Specific Aim #3: Develop a platform to identify warning signs of engagement that may give advisors an early indication that a student is at risk of leaving school. o We hypothesize that a platform displaying multi-dimensional engagement levels over time will work as a better early warning tool for advisors than tracking end- of-semester grades alone.At the end of the S-STEM grant term, we will have developed an engaging two-year project-based curriculum in STEM including technical hands-on activities

The active learning via project-based, activity-based, and service-based courseswithin the first-year engineering curriculum has proven effective for students not only to becomemore engaged and motivated but also to experience increased learning and retention. Generally,first-year engineering courses are meant to create student experiences that are meaningful, open-ended, and hands-on in addition to being an introduction to working and communicatingeffectively within teams. Whether one is an experienced educator or not, looking for projectideas to adapt
