critical need for qualified engineering graduates to join the workforce. The mostrecent U.S. Bureau of Labor projections through 2020 show significant growth of jobs in thescience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. Marra1 et al states thatengineering and science fields will grow at more than 3 times the rate of other disciplines.However, in the midst of the demand, institutions of higher education are faced with thechallenge of retaining students within their engineering programs1-5. Student attrition has beenattributed to several factors including: student attitudes and a sense of belonging in discipline,preparation for the course material, and quality of teaching and compatibility with studentlearning styles1,6-10.

paper, we focus on the lessons learned from adding newtechnology to an existing UAV curriculum. In addition, we ask our audience for feedback relatedto supporting students in using novel tools for engineering design and for ideas for how to bestcapture students’ skill development over a relatively short period of time.We learned that the addition of technologies, like AR, to students’ learning experiences, thetechnology needs to serve a purpose that helps students see the value in a new tool to helpaddress the challenge they are working on. This gives students a coherent experience even in aweekly after-school program. For example, we saw youth use their ideas about designingskyhooks from craft materials to help them decide which 3D printed
