We have called this effortthe Bio-Foundry Initiative.2) Connections with the EOP FrameworkThe EOP framework is a very useful taxonomy of nine principles associated with best practices insustainability [1]. However, the ability to apply such principles might be enhanced through asystematic selection of challenges found within engineering applications that, afterwards, need tobe addressed by development of a Prototype of Innovative Technology (PIT).

These factors are usually eitherpresented by project leaders in shorthand as “background conditions” for proposed research,barely relevant to the envisioned intervention, or omitted entirely from research design.

transition from a community college to a four-year university is a critical time in a student'sacademic journey, often accompanied by significant challenges. Many students have to adjust tonew academic expectations, navigate unfamiliar institutional cultures, and form connectionswithin a new peer and faculty network. These difficulties lead to what is commonly called“transfer shock,” impacting students' confidence and hindering their academic progress,particularly during their initial terms at a new institution. Prior research has shown that transferstudents experience higher dropout risks and lower first-year GPAs due to these transitionalbarriers [1], [2].For low-income and first-generation students, these challenges are often amplified by

Itallows for timely interventions that can improve student retention and graduation rates—twocritical components of most institutional missions. This paper reports on our experimentationwith developing and training machine learning models to identify struggling students usingLearning Management System (LMS) data. Our findings indicate that while these models do notperform as well when making predictions over long-term periods, such as an entire semester,they perform significantly better over shorter timespans.The focus on LMS data stems from its ubiquity and the fact that
