Then theyneed to connect the MecLab sub-systems and learn about each of the three units: conveyancesystems, feeders, and pick-and-place robots. Students are then challenged with an assignment toproduce two products: a black base with a black cap and the other is a metal (chrome) base witha black cap. They must produce an individual plan with a drawing of the production line layoutusing the conveyance, feeder, and robot sub-systems. Additionally they will provide a 3-5minute presentation of their system to the class. Then a group drawing and presentation

One student assistant graduated and was replaced by another student. According to the proposed plan, SCOPE Scholars are expected to receive enhancedmentoring and participate extracurricular activities. During the orientation, the scholars are givena list of elective activities. The activities are categorized into five categories as planned in ouroriginal proposal.

Flexible wires connect the cap to the fNIRSmachine which limits large movements, but does not restrict typical movements associated withprogramming, i.e. hand movement, leaning back while remaining to sit, etc.As part of the setup process, a researcher started screen-capture recording hardware. Because wedid not want to require that participants install special software we needed an external means torecord screen capture data.

We learned the importance of social actors in creating a discourse of change within engineering, the conditions that produced successes, and that resources must be mobilized and structures must accommodate changes in order for them to succeed. 4.

].IntroductionOhio University is a public, residential college located in the Midwest with approximately18,000 undergraduate students, including 1,800 undergraduates in the Russ College ofEngineering and Technology. At our institution, students must pass every course required fortheir major in three attempts or fewer, often with a grade of C or better, or they are dismissedfrom the major. To reduce the number of students being dismissed, we created a self-assessmentand contract based on appreciative and proactive advising for use during individual meetingswith students on their third attempt of a class. Appreciative advising uses a positive approach tohelp students identify their strengths and co-create a plan to reach their goals using thosestrengths [2

But it was not enough. Thestudents still struggled to complete their first paper. Thus, students were required to produce awriting plan with the outlines for their second paper. This proved helpful, and a number of studentscommented on the benefits of the act of planning out how much they would write per week or perday, or which sections they would write and when. Even when they did not fulfil their own plans,they had a sense of what they had done and what remained, and how they should arrange their timeand the task accordingly.4. Assessmenta

Students were placed on teams and given a predetermined innovation seedproject that was based on a university related problem. They developed hypotheses of designsolutions, made a test plan, got out of the building to test their hypothesis with customers andstakeholders, and iterated until they validated (or invalidated) their solutions. Along the way,they learned about value propositions, product-market-fit, the scientific method, customer-centricdesign, and teamwork.Just as the first year
