study is being performed on two groups (A and B) of sophomore students inthe Joint Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hilland North Carolina State University. Student participants were grouped based on the sequence inwhich they took two required second-year courses (Biomechanics and Biomaterials). Group Aare students who enrolled in Biomechanics in the Fall 2022 (FA22) semester and Biomaterials inSpring 2023 (SP23). The instructors for Group A developed technical scientific writing modulesthat are being implemented in the lab portion of the course. Group B consists of students whotake Biomaterials in FA22 and Biomechanics in SP23 without the technical writing component.Students from both groups will

Dr. Motschenbacher holds a PhD in Soil Physics (2012, Univ. of Arkansas), an MEd in Higher Education Administration (Middle Ten- nessee State Univ., 2007), and a BS in Agribusiness (Middle Tennessee State Univ., 2007). Academic po- sitions she has held include Postdoctoral Researcher in Biosystems Engineering (Iowa State Univ., 2013), Instructor/Adjunct/Assistant Professor of Practice of Soil Science (North Dakota State Univ., 2014-2022), and Associate Director of the Office of Teaching and Learning (North Dakota State Univ., 2016-2022).

’ solutions. In 2022, we heldworkshops in March and October, with 32 and 47 participants, respectively, which includedstudents from 9 different institutions spanning five states and territories.Throughout critical points in the program, students evaluated their learning and provided surveyfeedback. The program organizers also performed a direct assessment of the student projects.From these data, we found that student learning progressed throughout the workshop. We plan tocontinue hosting these workshops and believe they positively impact student development andchange perspectives in engineering design, allowing them to understand culture’s influence onengineering design better.MethodsApproval: This study was carried out with Institutional Review

2022 show increases in self-reported “moderate” and “serious” psychological distressfrom 69% of respondents to 76.6% of respondents (7.6% increase) and increases in “moderate”to “high” stress levels from 76.5% to 79.4% (2.9% increase)1-2. It is clear from these and other,similar studies, that colleges and universities must implement new programs and initiativesfocused on improving student health and well-being and on providing students with resources tohandle the stress and challenges they face.To this end, several student wellness-focused initiatives have been implemented at thecollege/university level. Most have involved creation of committees focused on student wellness,with new programming both in the classroom and separately as optional

The same class structure of lecture followed by activitywas used in 2021; however, only one class was dedicated to social justice discussions, andclasses were held in person. The air quality aspect was removed in the second year, and the classengaged in a general discussion of environmental injustice and a water-focused case study ofTooleville, a disadvantaged community in Central CA. In 2022 and 2023, the lecture materialwas broadened to include discussion of three economically disadvantaged communities aroundthe US, all facing water-related challenges: Jackson
junior mechanical engineering students. The 15-week course coveredthe theory of machine kinematics and dynamics and focused on common one-degree-of-freedommechanisms including pin-jointed four bar linkages and crank sliders. Two sections of Mechanical Design1 were offered each fall and taught by the same instructor. The course had a total enrollment of 73students in Fall 2021, 53 students in Fall 2022, and 80 students in Fall 2023. While not the focus of thispaper, a list of the 2021 mastery skills is also included Appendix 2 for the sake of comparison.During the 2021 MBL course, both student motivation and learning outcomes were lower than in Fall2020 at Mount Union.

Solar energy represents a contribution towards such a transition and is a major growtharea for energy generation in the United States. The Inflation Reduction Act, passed in summerof 2022, has allocated hundreds of billions towards clean energy incentives [4] that will stimulategrowth of renewable energy in general, including solar photovoltaics (PV). The Department ofEnergy estimates that the US will need 1,600-3,000 GW of total installed solar capacity by 2050to meet climate goals [5].

This paper describes ongoing work towards establishing research literacy amongst engineeringstudents through the introduction of a CURE within the multidisciplinary Introduction toEngineering course at San Antonio College (SAC). The CURE operates under a unique model,where grant-funding supports a corporate partner for each course. This work-in-progressmanuscript details the series of learning modules and assignments which were utilized during theFall 2022 semester to introduce students to the engineering research process. Results from apreliminary assessment intended to assess enrollees’ basic research literacy are also presented,along with ongoing modifications to the Spring 2023 CURE implementation within the course.Related Work
