contribution [1] which described implementation ofSeaPerch and SeaGlide [2] into University-hosted robotics summer camps intended for middle andhigh school aged students, respectively. During the 2022 camp events, students displayedreluctance participating in tasks viewed as competitive, which created reason to reframe campactivities for a more collaborative approach. In parallel, two University alumni currently employedby Prince William County were in pursuit of opportunities to leverage maritime robotics in citizenscience to benefit endeavors of the Watershed Division. This was part of a specific effort to assessthe success of freshwater mussel reintroduction projects in local rivers and streams. Withcomplimentary goals, the University and County

emerging multidisciplinary field [3] that deserves considerable attention.To address these needs, the Student Cohort for Undergraduate Research in Marine BiosciencesAbroad (SCUBA) was created by the University of Texas System Louis Stokes Alliance forMinority Participation (UT LSAMP) in 2019 to engage non-traditional community collegestudents in coral reef research. The project benefitted from the cooperation of faculty and staff atthe University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and at Midland College (MC) to integrateengineering, marine sciences, and education. Compared to other programs or similar initiatives[4], [5], the SCUBA program stands out for its unique approach to engaging non-traditionalcommunity college students in meaningful research

Theprimary goal of this effort is to create engineers who are trained to see their non-major courses asboth meaningful and impactful for their careers while learning how to mentor others. This will beaccomplished by collaboratively developing a series of courses offered outside of theengineering
