creatingprogramming for these events is the ability to adapt research for young students with a widerange of engineering backgrounds. Adding to the complexity, engineers are not trained teachers,therefore outreach events can often contain overly complex activities that do not take a student’sdexterity or comprehension skills into consideration. Understanding students’ abilities andinterests are critical to developing pre-college curricula that are engaging for a variety ofstudents. In this project, we present findings from an observational study conducted at acommunity-focused outreach event with over 200 participants. This paper is focused on a softrobot gripper activity consisting of two tendon-actuated fingers and its utility as an outreach tool.In the

Through the “learning factory” model, MANE 499 is organized to introduce students to state-of-the-art principles of A&D design and manufacturing. This approach approximates that studentsare working a real world aerospace factory in which tasks are assigned, feedback is given, andperformance is evaluated.

Thesebadges being a 0% column in the gradebook allow students to access and see their achievementswhenever they wanted. Additionally, they would receive a notification from the system when thebadge was “entered”. The idea behind this badge system is to encourage students to work hardand achieve various skills through the semester. The badges are like those often earned in a videogame.

. IntroductionEngineering curriculum frequently focuses on technical, analytical, and decision makingknowledge and skills, evident by the common focus of courses on math and physics principles[1]–[3]. Course problem sets and projects routinely focus on determining variables and solvingequations where there is one “right” answer [4]. However, engineering work is inherently bothtechnical and social [5], [6]. To address major problems of today’s world, engineering studentsneed to develop contextual and cultural competencies, ethical responsibility, and socialengagement knowledge and skills, as well as the ability to work across disciplinary boundaries[7]–[10]. Engagement in these skills, which we collectively call “comprehensive engineeringknowledge and skills”, are
