be particularly challenging for studentswho have deficiencies in math or struggle with soft skills such as time management and studytechniques. Students who earn a GPA below 2.0 at the end of a semester are placed on academicprobation, and multiple semesters of probation may lead to dismissal from an engineeringprogram. This study focuses on students currently on academic probation.The study was conducted in a first-year engineering program at an R-1 land-grant institution inthe mid-Atlantic region. Forty-five students on academic probation were enrolled in an academicsuccess skills course and assigned to a student success coach. The coaches in the program weregraduate students enrolled in either a master's or doctoral engineering program at

,where interaction with humans is—at best—a means toward improving the product deliverable, 4rather than a systematic method for reflecting upon the design or learning about human behavior.Sometimes discussed as “soft skills,” the non-technical is often dismissed or degraded as anafterthought or a diversion from the “real” work of the discipline (Goldberg & Somerville,2014). Students may also struggle to think of themselves as researchers when they are engagingwith interactive digital technologies like social media. The IRB’s current definition of “humansubjects research” does not readily account for certain forms of social media

project planning as described by the authors in Figure 8. As it is achallenging task in project management, students scheduled their laboratory meetings aroundtheir full-time course work in both Fall and Spring semesters. By using a Gantt chart, their timemanagement approach allowed them to stay current on their tasks and to keep track of delegatedwork within the members. Transferable soft skills that students developed during this projectincluded communication, work ethic, and leadership. One important aspect of this project designwas the interdisciplinary approach where engineering students worked closely with biologyfaculty and students, and vice versa.
