of digital culture, along with increased accessibility of electronics, software,hardware, and tools. As noted by Anderson (2012), Bajarin (2014), Evgeny (2014), Martin(2015), and Voigt et al. (2016), these factors transformed consumers into creators. Sources havealso acknowledged the catalytic and supportive role that Make magazine and Maker Media haveplayed in the development and growth of the movement. Both Dougherty (2014) and Martinrecognized Make magazine as a movement catalyst. A 2011 Economist article noted Makemagazine’s influence as a “central organ of the movement” (p. 3) and Morozov (2014) describedit as a cheerleader for Makers, acknowledging that the “intellectual infrastructure” provided byMaker Media allowed Makers to develop

fact that students will not always be successful in their job search butthat their approach to resiliency can greatly impact their eventual success. Dweck and herresearch colleagues have also found that the messages students receive from teachers frompreschool through college impact their mindsets, their goal orientation, and, consequently, theiracademic achievement.[12]Our practice has shown that other important traits employers are looking for are engagement andintegrity. Thus, the course also utilizes Ellen Langer’s book, The Power of Mindful Learning, asanother text. By trying to help the students learn the value to being present and more mindful inall they do we hope to foster engagement. New lessons in the co-op course also

Sciences in the groundbreaking 2004 report entitled The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century, successful engineers in the 21st century should exhibit key attributes to ensure their success and the success of the engineering profession. The list of key attributes are: strong analytical skills, practical ingenuity, creativity, communication, business and management, leadership, high ethical standards, professionalism; dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility, and the ability to become lifelong learners [1]. The project described in this paper is motivated by the results and findings of these reports. Our project exposes a pool of STEM undergraduate students to research
