. Additionally, academic collaboration builds othercritical “soft skills” such as teamwork, leadership, and communication. Professionalism andcollaboration can be seen as essential mindsets and skills that work together to develop asuccessful engineer. Motivating an undergraduate culture built around these tenets can preparestudent engineers to succeed upon graduation. We hypothesized that the implementation of Learning Coaches helps to foster this cultureof professionalism and academic collaboration among students at the University of NorthDakota. We administered the Professional Development Attitude section of the ProfessionalDevelopment Survey for Engineering Undergraduates (PDS), developed by Clemson University,to assess student attitudes

effort to learn in the course.Throughout this project, students learned a multitude of technical and soft skills (3D printing,working with CT scans, the engineering design process, teamwork, project planning, and timemanagement). Student feedback regarding the project has been incredibly positive after the firstyear. The second iteration with a new student group just started in Fall 2024, with the list ofaddressed organs/anatomy continuing to grow.References[1] “ Nordic Thingy:52,” Accessed Jan 17, 2024.
