the required skill set(s)? Were too many people interested in thatproject as their first choice? Were enough people interested in the project to get a team of four?We asked them to consider moving to their second or third choice if their first choice had morethan four people. During this reflection period, we (the faculty facilitators) highlighted thoseprojects that had fewer than four interested people and suggested students consider moving theirsticky notes to those projects. We also highlighted projects for which there appeared to beinadequate skills. We reiterated that each project should have a team of four people, then weasked them to make a final decision regarding their choice of project. After this short time ofreflection, we started

In addition to having an academic faculty and graduate student(s) mentoring the REMstudents on their research project, CISTAR leverages two Purdue engineering programs thatintroduce students to research: Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program(https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/Research/EURO/students/about-SURF) and the PathwaysScholar program (how a graduate degree can prepare you for different career pathways). Thus,the REM students are part of a wider research program with other undergraduates from acrossthe U.S. and from different countries.

By farthe most commonly mentioned reason was being unsure which classes would transfer from 2-yearto 4-year colleges, and understanding what the transfer prerequisites were. Some studentsmentioned that they attended multiple 2-year colleges and had greater difficulty figuring out whatclasses would and would not count toward their 4-year degree.A majority of post-transfer students (68%) reported having an

Engineering Education, 2024 Meta-Activity Theory as a Conceptual Toolfor Supporting Transdisciplinary Curricular Experimentation in Undergraduate Learning ContextsWhen it comes to carrying out external evaluations of academic plans in higher education, LisaR. Lattuca and Joan S. Stark’s text, Shaping the College Curriculum: Academic Plans inContext, has provided a critical resource (Lattuca and Stark, 2011). The text lays out aframework for analyzing the social aspects of curricular plans, which often involves examininghow the intended curricular design of an academic program compares to the actual livedexperiences of students and faculty who are involved in the curriculum. By drawing on Lattucaand Stark’s framework, external
, the simplicity of the project naturally yields the project to be used in awide variety of learning environments and student learners. When implementation does occur, the generatedresults would need to be studied and further modifications would be made to the teaching approach.Eventually, the module and learning materials along with the project will be made highly accessible toeducators through a centralized soft robotic teaching website being developed at Rowan University.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work partially supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.2235647.
