systematic way of thinking havealso been used – leading to student performance being measured by project results [7] [16]. Thismethod of learning is beneficial in face-to-face situations where students may engage in groupactivities. But it becomes more challenging to replicate in online courses. There is evidence thatthe CIQ is widely used in various levels of education [5, p. 177], but there is only limitedevidence of how the CIQ is used in engineering online teaching environments. Keefer describesthe pedagogical value of this type of research: “We want to better understand the experiences and perceptions of the student learners, for the more we can understand them, the more we can teach in ways that may meet their needs” [5

In thispaper, we will give a historical perspective on how a project like this may be initiated with dresser-sizedunits, then how one can proceed through a step-by-step process to refine and miniaturize technology,see aspects commercialized to promote adoption, and then further miniaturize the design and prepareit for a larger-scale reproducibility of the associated pedagogy. Hands-on units that are to be used atmultiple stations within a classroom need to be low cost, light and simple to build.

The program's objectives are to (1) increase the number of financially needy and academically talented students who graduate or transfer in a STEM program and (2) improve the retention and completion rates of STEM students through individualized and group support systems. The project was launched in the fall semester of 2016. Up to 60 students will receive full scholarships and support over five years to aid in their completion of a two-year program for graduation or transfer in either Chemistry, Physics, or Engineering. A central feature of the program is the use of a STEM Student Success Coach as the first line of support for participating STEM students. The Student Success Coach provides personal one-on-one

as acareer path, it is imperative that we engage participants early in life [6]. By engagingparticipants in computer science at an early age, we can promote the development of self-efficacy in computing before adolescent opinions are formed that may discourage girls fromseeking curricular or co-curricular experiences in computing [7]. A study by the National GirlsCollaborative Project states that although women earn 57.3% of bachelor degrees in all fields in2013 and 50.3% of science and engineering bachelor degrees, only about 17.9% of womenreceive these degrees in computer science [8].To engage diverse populations in computing, we need to better understand how to supportparticipants in navigating conflicts between identities with computing

Many will seek anengineering internship, typically over the summer, primarily for the pay. As a rising sophomoreor junior, they have limited technical knowledge to contribute. However, as a rising sophomorethrough senior, they can gain considerable knowledge of collaborative problem solving and learna variety of new skills through internship experiences. Perhaps learning from both theory andexample is one of the greatest benefits of an internship, not only
