Even during the summer, there can be a narrow window of time when students can be inthe community. This is a well known challenge of HE projects more generally [20].Several participants found that offering multi-year projects alleviated the time pressure. In thisapproach, the project is divided into phases. Each student cohort considers only one phase of theproject. This then naturally requires a longer view of the project and

are also a very important aspect of the course, as they guide in the design ofthe course and projects by focusing on what skills students should develop throughout thecourse. After completing the course and the project, students should be able to: (1) design andimplement a solution to an open-ended engineering problem that involves both hardware andsoftware designs; (2) use simulation and measurement tools to devise a test and validation plan;(3) document and present detailed engineering design process of the project solution; (4)recognize and assess the ethical issues and societal impacts of the designs and solutions.4.

Future work is planned to assess the impact of pedagogical interventions on improvingstudents’ troubleshooting skills and to study how their approaches change as they grow in bothdomain knowledge and practical experience.8 AcknowledgementsThank you to the students who participated in this study, as well as to Adam Dirting for helpingwith data collection.References [1] D.

responses capture experiences ranging from students whostrongly preferred this approach to those who strongly disliked it. A strong theme that emergedfrom these comments include students’ appreciation for the flexibility afforded by the flipped-style class to engage with lecture material at their own pace, schedule, and manage commitmentsthey have in their lives. An interesting self-reflection from multiple students notes the high-levelof executive function (e.g. planning, focusing attention, remembering, and balancing multipletasks) and self-regulation (e.g. resisting impulses) required to be successful in this class format.The feedback of students who did not enjoy the flipped-style format suggest that this may also bethe source of their dislike

Students are at the center of the contentcreation. In this way, the students feel like engineers and are exploring their sense of belonging inthe engineering community.Portions of the Video Quizzes (podcasts) are adapted from projects described by Joseph P.Hoffbeck in

(Hispanic, black, native, and others) were combined toform an underrepresented minorities (URM) category. Most students in the spring semester wereenrolled in the mechanical engineering (ME) major, whereas in the fall semester, a majority werepursuing degrees in electrical or computer engineering. This disciplinary distribution can beattributed to the way these courses are structured in the students' degree study plan. Industrialengineering (IE) was the next most popular major among the students who took this course,while the remaining majors were categorized as “other.” Table 1: Descriptive Statistics by Semester Spring 2021 Fall 2021 Male Female
