These process help students discover design variables and processvariables [21]. The design process proceeds as students reflect on design and process decisionsmade and how these choices subsequently impacted the performance of their soft robot fingers.After two iterations of finger design and fabrication, students combine their literature findingsand empirical discoveries in a decision matrix to evaluate the best design for their gripper.Students select an approach and design, fabricate their gripper, and test their gripper

And IS fulfills an organizationalneed, but mostly from the management side.Of the five computing disciplines, computer engineering is the least closely related to IT. SE issmall in size nationwide and BYU doesn’t even have an SE program. For these reasons, this studyfocused on CS, IS, and IT.1.1 Research questions • How strong is the correlation between AC−CE and AE−RO, and major GPA among CS, IS, and IT students? • How strong is the correlation between AC−CE and AE−RO, and student satisfaction among CS, IS, and IT students? • Is there a correlation between major GPA and student satisfaction? • What is the best multiple regression model to fit these correlations?1.2

to minimize the effects ofgrader judgment [14]. Previous scholars have noted that rubrics are more likely to produceerrors when they are redundant, have limited options for partial credit, have uneven intervalsbetween achievement levels, and exhibit inconsistencies in focus or form [15]. Rubrics mustalso avoid being excessively detailed or excessively general and should be bias-free, well-aligned with performance tasks, and written at an appropriate level for their users [16], [17].

. The NSF S-STEM Scholarship is an excellentprogram, and I would highly recommend it to any student.ConclusionThere are numerous ways to measure success in a particular program: retention, graduation,increased GPA. One metric that we have observed is the increase in undergraduate researchactivity. Undergraduate research, as considered by George Kuh, is a high impact practice, whichgives undergraduate students the skills needed in the workforce and supports STEM gains [19,20]. Practices such as this and others, integrated in our NSF S-STEM program, are proving to beeffective in retaining students in their respective degree majors through graduation. Students areengaged by the variety of seminars, speakers, workshops, field trips, one-to-one end

Second, we, like the National ScienceFoundation, predict these processes will have a positive impact on educational technologies,programs, courses (Chavela Guerra et al. 2014), and engineering education research.
