-Math. At the end of each semester, students are asked to completean end-of-semester survey as their last assignment, which counts toward their grade. As a part ofthis survey, students rate certain aspects of the projects and course using a 5-point Likert scaleand are allowed to leave additional comments and suggestions for improvement. We analyzedthe end-of-semester survey results for the following five questions: The assignments associated with this course: 1) improved my engineering problem-solving skills. 2) improved my ability to communicate solutions to engineering problems. 3) provided me with a meaningful experience working on a diverse team. 4) helped me appreciate the multi-disciplinary nature of engineering. 5

the pilot study, we would like to ask students who havetaken the lessons in previous cohorts about how the lessons may have impacted them in theirfuture coursework, particularly their design courses. During informal conversations withstudents, at least two have mentioned to the GTA how their outlook on design has beeninfluenced by #FunTimesWithTheTA. Students noted that they took design principles learned in#FunTimesWithTheTA and applied them to their senior design projects. Given the small size ofour initial subject pool, we find these positive comments very encouraging.Acknowledgements: We would like to thank Ms. Attiyya Houston for designing our logo.References[1] C.
