tuition and other funding purposes, studentsenrolled in the 3+2 Program are treated as undergraduate students, and thus they are eligible forfunding as they work on multiyear projects with undergraduate students.Note that the project described here does not entirely fit the VIP Program definition from the VIPConsortium [15]. Namely, students may take research credits which are graded S/U. If they takethese credits as Independent Study, then they are graded A-F. Also, Senior Seminar is graded S/Uwhile Senior Design Project is graded A-F. So, there is a mix of grading types that was agreedupon by the program faculty.Moreover, stipends to fund participating students are secured through grants.

Paul, Oregon State University ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Lab Safety Awareness in Incident and Near-miss Reporting by Students Participating in Engineering Societies: A Case StudyAcademic laboratory safety has gained considerable attention from researchers and researchinstitution administrators since several high-profile incidents in the late 2000’s. Another part ofstudent learning in engineering, though informal, occurs in co-curricular activity such asengineering societies and team competitions where students conduct hands-on activities toachieve certain objectives, usually with minimal (if any) authoritative figures in presence. Thesafety aspect of these co-curricular
(CEAS), the Integrated Teaching and LearningProgram (ITLP) emerged in the 1990’s from student demand and with college recognition thatattrition was a concern. At the time, CU offered hands-on experiences only in select junior- orsenior-design courses. “‘From an engineering perspective, lab classes are good because they giveyou a feeling for what you’re learning, and if you’re a visual learner, ITLP can help you learnfaster and better,’ said Eric Peers, an electrical and computer engineering senior,” who chairedthe student movement to launch more access to hands-on learning [28]. Envisioning an approachthat was more targeted for specific populations was not yet on the table.Improved student retention and satisfaction were early ITLP outcomes [29

Weobserve that the draping process is almost completed after 0.13 s and that the change in thicknessup to 0.6 s is minor and mostly occurs around the base of the cowl. In Figure 7c) is the drapingprocess for the creation of the instrument panel shown. The thickness of the plastic sheet on topof the instrument panel does not change from the thickness of the original undeformed sheet. Thecircles on the instrument panel are clearly developing over time and at 1 s the circles are fullydeveloped.Figure 7b) Thickness contour plots during draping process for the cowl.Figure 7c) Thickness
a system. Once a sub-standardresponse is identified, possible causes of the failure are sought through forming hypotheses. Eachhypothesis needs to be tested and verified to see whether it is a cause for the failure. If possiblecauses are rejected, new possibilities are generated and tested. Final cause(s) are formed out of aspace of possibilities. To complete troubleshooting, corrective action is taken to eliminate thecause(s) by either repairing or replacing relevant physical components. These tasks are shownusing a flowchart in Figure 1. Similar recursive models with functionally identical tasks wereintroduced in other studies and manuals [6].While troubleshooting is a sought-after skill in industry, traditional mechanical

type ofmotor(s) they will integrate and operate for their system. There are different types of motors tochoose from and knowing the characteristics of each motor type will aide students in sizing theappropriate motor that meet their desired performance requirements, helping students learn howto cooperate in interdisciplinary situations [4]. Allowing students to practice engineeringdecision-making will allow them to digest and absorb scientific knowledge through observationand experimentation [1-3]. For some universities, lab equipment used to showcase experiments,can be expensive and are unable to leave the laboratory, which can be a huge constraint [1], [3].For instance, the Mechatronics Actuators board developed by Quanser features several

that this phenomenon reflected that students involved in project-based learning activities were more inclined to regard themselves as a part of the engineeringcommunity.The students in Motamedi’s study [19] tended to prefer the flipped classroom because of itsflexibility with their schedules, their ability to watch lectures when they felt motivated tolearn and when they knew that they would be able to stay focused, and their increasedengagement with short video content. A significant disadvantage was their inability to askquestions while learning the material; thus, students would go to class feeling confused andill-prepared. Vidic et al.’s [18] study of flipped classrooms addressed this issue by allowingstudents to post their questions about

, the simplicity of the project naturally yields the project to be used in awide variety of learning environments and student learners. When implementation does occur, the generatedresults would need to be studied and further modifications would be made to the teaching approach.Eventually, the module and learning materials along with the project will be made highly accessible toeducators through a centralized soft robotic teaching website being developed at Rowan University.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work partially supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.2235647.
