This is especially crucial for the aging population in countries like Japan, where service robots can provide assistance in elderly care and healthcare settings. 2. International Collaboration and Cultural Exchange: The course fosters cross-cultural collaboration between students from Japan and the United States. Students not only learned technical skills but also gained an appreciation for the different approaches to robotics in each country. Japan’s deep technical expertise and the U.S.’s focus on applied robotics education complement each other, offering students a unique cross-cultural perspective. The joint program is a model for international educational

The authorsfurther note that the motivation for programs of this classification is that “the current trendtoward complex, highly integrated systems and global markets calls for future engineers that aremore broadly educated, more flexible, and more sensitive to non-technical concerns.” Twochallenges they associate with these programs are: 1) a job market that seeks graduates withdisciplinary expertise and 2) finding faculty interested in interdisciplinary undergraduateeducation more than their disciplinary affiliation.

% significantly lower than Hispanic transfer students' 79% retention rate.Beyond the graduation and retention rates, there is concern regarding students’ entry into theworkforce. Surveys revealed that only 14% of students reported employment secured at the timeof graduation. Considering that most SOE students decide to pursue a career in industry post-baccalaureate, this statistic needs to be better understood and addressed to increase studentsuccess and diversification of the workforce.The Strengthening Student Motivation and Resilience through (S-SMART) research project wasinitiated in late 2021 under the NSF HSI IUSE grant to respond to the existing trends andopportunities for improvement at the school of engineering.

Continuous ImprovementContinuous improvement should be a part of every program and course and having the benefit ofdesigning the program with a clean sheet gave us the opportunity to integrate continuousimprovement from the start, beginning with our courses. To assist, we created a slide format tosummarize what we learned and that we also use to discuss our new insights with our DataScience Advisory Council. For example, Figure 1, below, is an example for the course forstudents not ready for Calculus I. Our faculty completes them every year for their course, andwe use the feedback to improve the course and the student experience.

So like I think and for the sake of like having more time, I think … it would have been more helpful if we'd started earlier on projectsInterestingly, even though most felt anxious about completing the projects in the time allotted,when interviewed at the end of the program, most of the participants felt that 9 weeks wasenough time for the SSEF. The most common feedback from the students was to move theproject and group selection earlier in the program so that expert talks could be arranged thatdirectly apply to their selected topic area(s) and/or to provide them more time for their projects.
