-Income BackgroundsIntroductionThis work-in-progress (WIP) paper will share preliminary insights on the implementation ofinterventions in STEM learning environments impacting undergraduate engineering degreecompletion at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). While HBCUs onlycomprise three percent of post-secondary institutions in the United States, they enroll a highpercentage of minority students [1, 2], and are often criticized for having low graduation rates,especially for low-income students [3]. To combat this concern, a public historically black land-grant university in the southeastern region of the United States was awarded the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

The Accreditation Board for Engineer-ing Technology (ABET) recognizes the importance of these abilities in its Criteria for Accredit-ing Engineering Programs: “Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates havean ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams”.1,5 The study of robotics provides an excellentinstrument for teaching and learning about working in multidisciplinary teams.The overall goal of this project is the development of a comprehensive undergraduate course inrobotics that emphasizes multidisciplinary teamwork by encompassing many of the diverse

traditionally deliveredthe laboratory experience for Engineering Technology at the bachelors level.The following paper describes how Eastern Washington University has chosen to meet thischallenge using a non-traditional paradigm of delivering the laboratory experience in theRobotics and Automation course. The new method of delivery uses self-directed and self-designed experiments by the student to enhance the learning experience. This new framework ofcourse delivery challenges the student to design and implement an experiment that is unique tohim/her. The student is much more engaged in higher order learning since he must first design,understand and then perform the experiment. This is in contrast to the traditional method of thestudent blindly doing
