, redesign the molds, and produce electromagnets ourselves).If this were to be attempted again, appropriate time and a finalized rubric from the outset wouldbe instrumental in ensuring a project that fulfills the outlined requirements. Particularly thecreativity aspect was developed later in the project, and as a result, the produced prototype didnot adhere to the rubric well. With these in mind from the start, a more creative magnetic softrobot could have been developed (e.g. an ocean-themed tentacle robot).ConclusionThe learning outcomes for this soft-robotics-themed project address several needs of theengineering education space. This tube-man project can teach engineering students aboutdesigning and creating a soft robot that reinforces key

wellness initiatives oncollege campuses, especially directed towards STEM and engineering majors due to thecompetitive culture and negative impact COVID-19 had on the mental health of undergraduatestudents as a whole [5].One solution to this lack of mental health care in undergraduate engineering programs is througha required wellness course. Many studies have found required wellness courses to increasehealthy decision-making, increase exercise, and decrease self-reported levels of stress [6].Implementing an evidence-based wellness course has shown evidence to maintain higher levelsof resiliency and adaptive skills for undergraduate students at the three-month mark [7].Additionally, the utilization of a course with the integration of mindfulness

to visit the facilities in our area that are sponsoring the DeSIRE program so they can see what's available in the area. For example, it's hard to encourage someone to be involved in Cummings, building diesel engines all day long, when in their mind [students] they see themselves with a wrench and a bolt and tightening down the wrench and greasy. When we actually get to go there, it will be full of technology, full of robotics. It will be a very clean job, people interacting with each other. There are all kinds of occupations available in that one system. I have a number of students whose parents work at Pfizer. They have no idea what their parents do, what technology is available in there. So
