The writing assignment requires students tocreate their superhero's name, logo/symbol, origin story, superpowers, the villain and injusticesthe superhero is motivated to fight against, and physical appearance, and character/personalitytraits. The superpowers must be based on fluid properties and align with the specific properties ofthe chosen fluid(s) the superhero uses or encounters.A worksheet is provided with questions to help students with ideation and organization of ideas,storylines, and details.

Surveys revealed that only 14% of students reported employment secured at the timeof graduation. Considering that most SOE students decide to pursue a career in industry post-baccalaureate, this statistic needs to be better understood and addressed to increase studentsuccess and diversification of the workforce.The Strengthening Student Motivation and Resilience through (S-SMART) research project wasinitiated in late 2021 under the NSF HSI IUSE grant to respond to the existing trends andopportunities for improvement at the school of engineering.

learning. It is also worth mentioninghere that the university administration has realized the impact of sudden pandemic on studentslearning. The University administration had provided students with the choice of choosingSatisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) grade instead of regular letter grade for post-unplannedpandemic semester (Spring 2020). The choice of students was not shared with instructors.Instructors had performed remote instructions and assigned letter grades to students. Therefore,the grades reported in this paper are also letter grades.This study will be useful in planning for pandemics in the future as it finds that the post-plannedpandemic student outcome is same as the pre-pandemic. Therefore, in case of the possibility ofany pandemics

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has acontinuum model demonstrating the overlap in an engineering education as opposed to anengineering technology one [3]. An engineer’s education resides more on the analysis side of thecontinuum, and engineering technology on the production.
