Ouruniversity’s school of engineering mirrors that of many engineering schools across the country asefforts of research to improve teaching and learning are made in hopes of retaining engineeringstudents into engineering careers. The longitudinal interdisciplinary research group, GEARS,that initially assembled around the research goal of focusing on first-year engineering studentretention and academic achievement has sustained in their efforts, while expanding theirexploration of first-year student retention through innovative, interdisciplinary viewpoints.

It is good practice to instruct students to make an initial timely post of their introductionand then return to the Introduce Yourself discussion sometime prior to the end of the first unit ormodule to reply to a couple of their classmates. Although some of this information may be thesame for some working professionals from one course to the next while pursuing a graduatedegree or certificate, it is strongly suggested that each course begin like this to encouragestudents to engage with the instructor and each other and reduce feelings of isolation right fromthe start.

addition. In 2015, CAN bus functionality was added to the2014 specification. The CAN bus is a robust but complex network protocol, and student-reporteddevelopment peaked. Apart from the heavy workload, students reported satisfaction with theexperience as they found the CAN bus interesting and saw the utility of having experience with itfor future courses and their careers. The 2016 design was fundamentally identical to the 2015variation but with the introduction of gap learning. A clear reduction in LoC reported is seen.The 2017 offering was nearly identical to the 2016 version and reported LoC was almostunchanged.

Another study, [8], showed that first graders learned andretained at a significantly higher rate when imagery was used, and further, the students showedhigher level of creativity with usage of imagery [9], a result that can be exploited in higher-education problem-solving. A more recent study [10] reports the effect of using visual thinkingsoftware to improve writing skills of students with mild disabilities, and another one [11]provides a practical best practice example on how visual thinking is used to enhance studentbackground knowledge.Although, these studies were performed at the level of

research demonstrates that professional skills, such as teamwork, projectmanagement, cultural awareness, leadership, and interpersonal communication, are still lacking inour graduating students [7, 8], and, in turn, are slowing their career advancement. For this reason,university engineering programs, as well as professional societies in engineering [9, 10], haveidentified the teaching of such professional skills as a goal. Unfortunately, despite this growingand collective interest in professional skills, studies [3, 11] continue to show significant gapsbetween what students are taught in the classroom and what they need to know to succeed inprofessional engineering practice.There is well-established research that professional skills are

This is also evident in Figure 3, which has onlytwenty percent of students identifying that a resume item is a reason for joining the project.Although, the graph in Figure 8 provides further details to this and suggests that studentparticipants wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to a job in the robotics field.The data in Figure 4 shows that all the surveyed students associate their participation with anincrease in their
